Our "Mini-Vacation" in Chicago

I had a seminar in Chicago on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week and Ethan and Ryan went with me. We left on Sunday to visit our friends Megan and Joe and their new little girl Eloise.

Ethan and Eloise


The Daddy's and their Babies....Aren't they all adorable?!



Monday we went to Shed Aquarium....Ethan loved every minute of it, but especially loved the smaller fish (small in comparison to the sharks and whales).










Ethan and Daddy in the Hotel Pool....Mommy was not eager to get into a bathing suit at 7 months pregnant:-) Ryan and Ethan had lots of Father/Son time Tuesday and Wednesday while I was at my seminar. Tuesday they went to Lego Land (for 5 hours!) and Wednesday they swam in the pool, ate Chicago hot dogs and went to a children's museum.







Ethan watching Finding Nemo....I think he loved it even more than before now that he has been to the aquarium!

More Ethanisms

I do have photographs to post, just having computer issues at home so I haven't been able to post them. So in the meantime, I will give you more of my favorite sayings from our favorite little man!

* Ryan and I "discussing" where to go eat for dinner and what direction to go...Ethan in the backseat: "Mommy, be nice to Daddy." This was after spending a day with just Daddy at Legoland. My how quickly the tide can turn!!

* Ethan's new favorite saying is "No Way!" Sometimes he adds a "Hosea" to the end...and then it is often followed by "Yes Way!"

* "Oh My Goodness!"

* Ethan is now singing his ABC's from start to finish, and his other favorite songs that he randomnly sings to himself include Twinkle Twinkle, The Farmer in the Dell, Old McDonald, and most recently, The Babies on the Bus (that one took us a while to figure out what he was singing:-)

* Ethan requests the prayer at dinner time, I think mainly because he likes being able to say "Amen....now time to eat!"

* Saturday morning I saw Ethan sitting up in bed so I went his room and crawled in bed with him. Well, he was having none of that because as he quickly told me, it was "time to get up!" Then he proceeded to say "Mommy get out of my bed." When I didn't get out right away, he quickly said "One, Two, Three..." I made sure to get out on Three since that is the trick I use to get him moving!

* Ethan during Church yesterday morning held out his hand and repeated "Body of Christ, Body of Christ, Body of Christ" followed by a pretend gulp and a "Mmmm". Just when you think they aren't paying attention!

* Everytime Ethan leaves the room, he is sure to say "Be right back Guys, OKAY?"
