Weekend Getaway!

A couple of weekends ago our friends, the Ashton's, invited us to go to their cabin for the weekend. We had a great time. We spent a lot of time, eating, talking, playing in the snow, snowshoeing, chasing kids and just enjoying ourselves. Their cabin is about 25 minutes outside of Evanston. It was so nice to get away for the weekend and not having to worry about getting stuff down around the house. The day before we left we bought a portable DVD player and it was a great purchase. We put Luke in the car, turned on the DVD player, put the earphones on him and he didn't make a peep the entire way (he did blink occasionally)!!! Anyway, here are some pictures. We had such a great time, thanks Ashton's!

Week With Cousins

Last week my brother Eric and his wife went on a cruise so we got to stay with his two oldest girls, Sadie and Brinley, while his youngest, Hailey, went and stayed at my sisters house. We had such a fun time and I'm sure Luke is going to go through withdrawl and serious boredom this week. He will certainly miss hanging out with his buddies Sadie and Brinley. Here are a few pictures from our week.
