Fun at the Park

The weather here in Chicago-land has been, well typical Chicago weather the past week. Today was a high of 87 degrees...and of course it was the Chicago Marathon. So glad I was not running it this year! I am training for a marathon, however, but that is at the end of November in Philadelphia, so the likelihood that the temps are as they were today is highly unlikely! Watching the race today though got my adrenaline pumping already - which I know not everyone understands - I love racing and particularly large races like the Chicago Marathon that registers 45,000 runners! But, I digress:)

So, because of the nice summer-like days we have had, we have been trying to take advantage of it and enjoy our time outside as a family. Christian was able to take a day off of work on Friday, so we ventured out to the Morton Arboretum. Micah is still not a huge fan of the stroller, making the day not really work out as we had planned (but what really does with kids anyways?:)). And then Saturday we had a wonderful first official family photo shoot (pictures to come soon from that!!) taken by my good friend and Micah's sitter Noelle, and then we did our own photo shoot at the park later that day.

Although the 80+ degrees have been a bit warm for me the last couple of days, I have enjoyed being able to spend some great family time outside. It just makes me all the more excited about the family I have and I am just so in love with both of my boys! What a huge blessing they both are to me - I can't imagine life without them:)
