Busy, Busy...

We have been crazy busy around here...

It all started with our trip to NC to visit Noni and Popi for my birthday...how in the world am I 33???  Crazy how that happens!  We had a nice quiet evening at home where my wonderful husband got a delicious cake!  Peyton loved the idea that it was a birthday so we could blow out candles!

We headed back to VA on Sunday afternoon in the pouring rain I may add!!

We were then expecting a regular week, when all of a sudden Kevin calls and says "We may be headed to Chicago tomorrow!"  Seriously...so off I went crazy trying to get laundry done and our bags packed for a few days in the Windy City!

We left Tuesday afternoon and arrived in Chicago....went to our hotel and ordered room service.  It was a very tiring day!  Maddox did horrible in the hotel...he didn't want to sleep at all!  So the sleep while we were there was not so good!

Wednesday was cold and rainy!!!  So, while Kevin was at the Kitchen and Bath Show, I took the boys to the Shedd Aquarium.  It was a great way to spend a rainy day...along with the other 5000 kiddos!!  CRAZY!!!  Peyton was not a huge fan, but we played there for a good three hours or so...

After meeting back up with Kev, we went into the city and walked around for a bit in the breezy, chilly air!  It was a lot of fun sightseeing!  That evening we headed to the Navy Pier and stayed there until bedtime.

Thursday we woke up to a beautiful day...only it was about 50 as the HIGH!!!  Way to cold for us, but off we went...we took taxis everywhere due to weather.  The kids and I hung out at the pier where Peyton's favorite thing to do was ride a choo choo train they had.  We wasted the day waiting on Kev to get back from the show and once back we went to the hotel to rest before dinner!

Friday we came back home and we were ready for some warmer weather!!! Thank goodness it was about 70 here...

As for what else is going on...Maddox has know had sweet potatoes, carrots, butternut squash, and green beans.  He has loved the sweet potatoes, carrots and green beans.  He is a really good eater it seems...not a fan of the rice cereal, but who would be!

In other Maddox news...he is now on breathing treatments.  He came down with a horrible cough while we were in Chicago, so Monday I took him to the doctor where they diagnosed him with having bronchophilia....or something like that!  They gave him a breathing treatment in the office and sent us home with a nebulizer and a device to give it to him in.  He cries everytime we have to do it.  Poor baby...hoping he is over this soon!

He is weighing in at 13.5 lbs and will be 7 months old in 5 days!!!!

Now we are getting ready for the next big party...how is my baby going to be 4 in less than 2 weeks????
