We love our Aunts!

Aunt Lacey and Aunt McCall came to visit us last week in Missouri! We loved having them here! We showed them around our little town and pretty much just played with the babies. It was wonderful to have their help and company (especially because Scott was doing his two week preceptorship in south east Missouri). He was able to come home for saturday and sunday to see them as well. We are so grateful for such wonderful family! They spoiled the girls and the babies miss them already!

The Cubs!

The highlight of Scott's trip was going to Wrigley Field for the Cubs game. He was in Heaven! We rode the subway to the game and the crowds were crazy! The girls did amazingly well. People couldn't believe we'd bring 2 babies to a 3 hour baseball game, but they were perfect! It was the first of many baseball games to come for them!

Chicago again

We walked around Navy Pier that goes out into Lake Michigan. The Lake is beautiful and so big! There are running paths all along the coast with beaches and the city right there. It is beautiful.

Monday we went to the free zoo. The girls' favorites were the warthogs and the polar bear. The warthogs were moving around and making noises so they like that, and the polar bear was swimming right up next to the glass where we were and he kept coming by so they girls would try to touch him!

We walked around Millenium Park where they had this huge fountain, beautiful gardens, and some cool architectural design stuff.

More Chicago

This was an exhibit about genetics and cloning. There was some information about identical twins and we have come to the conclusion that maybe our girls are identical! We have no idea really, and probably never will unless we got them tested. The reason we got thinking this is because this sign says that identical twin babies don't always look exactly alike because they can change a little during the pregnancy. Identical twins don't run in the family (it runs through the female bloodline, not the male) and there are no twins in my family anywhere. We are always telling people that they don't look alike to us, but everyone else seems to think they do! Maybe the world is right and they are identical... who knows!

Chicago!

We just got back from a wonderful weekend in Chicago! We had a blast. We love that city. There is so much to see and do and it was so nice to have some fun family time. We got there last saturday and went to the aquarium. The girls loved seeing all the fish up close. It was pretty croweded because of the holiday weekend, but we had fun. They had a baby beluga whale named Bella that was born only a day before our Bella. (She weighed about 120 pounds more!) We had to take a picture of Bella with the sign.



They had a cool exhibit on the coral reefs of the Philippines that Scott loved. We pushed the girls around in their strollers and carried them around all weekend! They were troopers!


On Sunday we went to church and then to the Museum of Science and Industry. It was one of our favorite places. This is a picture of a German submarine called the U505 that the U.S. captured in WW2. It was really amazing to see it up close like that.
