I got the holiday photos organized and showcased a couple of our fun outings to the Zoo and the Botanic Garden. I will need some photos from Grandad to include our visit to the Museum of Science & Industry since I forgot my camera that day… In addition to our Chicago fun, we made a trip to Michigan to visit Grandma, Auntie Beth and Uncle Matt! Next weekend, the celebrations continue with Katie’s 30th birthday and Master’s Degree graduation.
Nanna and Grandad have been such a big help to us during their visit, and it’s going to be entirely too quiet with everyone gone and Chris traveling this week. Maeve will resume her classes this week, continuing music with Ms. Julie and starting a painting art class and gymnastics, both through the park district. Our Little Gym class doesn’t start until the end of January… We hope to see our playgroup friends too, since we were all on hiatus over the holidays.
Another highlight was Maeve meeting her first 1st cousin Lucy on Friday! She was very taken with Lucy, staring at her in her carrier and saying “baby sleeping.” She will get another chance to admire her this week when we go over there to visit.
So much fun has been had by all this holiday season! Hope your 2009 is as exciting as ours…
