So...we moved to Chicago and it feels like we've lived here for a lot longer than four weeks!!! Lily is absolutely loving it here. We get to go to the zoo for free whenever the heck we want. Lily loves to get up to the glass and look at the gorillas. She jumps up and down and squeals when they get close. We take Scott to the bus stop every morning and then run along the beach.
She loves her cousin Ollie and when we ask her what she wants to do today or what she did today she just says "Ollie." There are parks everywhere and Lily loves to play at every single one of them. She has found a favorite spot to sit…on my kitchen footstool. She likes to read, eat and do secretarial work on it. It’s pretty funny to watch her play on it. Scott bought us a new stroller when we got here and we lug it up and down the stairs of our apartment several times a day.
Grandma Alyson and Grandpa Mark visited us the first week we were here…thanks to some work Grandpa Mark had in this area. We bought her some sunglasses and she wears them every time we go outside and when we took her diaper off at the park she decided to show the ducks EVERYTHING!!!
Since we live by the beach we decided it was important to get Lily used to feeling the sand between her toes. Like everything else, she wasn’t so sure of it at first but now she likes it more. We went to Millennium Park when Tommy and Nicole visited us from Michigan and she loved the fountain and the bean.
She finds friends wherever she goes…at the Embodi booth (now being sold at Whole Foods nationwide), on walks, at the zoo, the beach, the park…wherever. She says “hi” to everyone that walks by and when her hair is in a pigtail no one can resist her.
It has been an adjustment and we miss having family and friends so close. But, Coby, Kristal, Oliver and Aaron are definitely helping with the transition!! Enjoy the pictures and we love you all!!!

I'm so happy to see some pictures of you guys in Chicago! I've been wondering about you. Lily is way too cute!!
I'm really glad someone had taken over the blog so we can see your cute little Lily! She had grown up SO much! I love the pictures! Hey tell Scott, thanks for calling me back--especially after all the work I did to track down Will's phone number for HIM....like getting up the guts to call the Health Commissioner of NEW YORK CITY (that's where his dad works!!).
Yeah! Updates! So good to know that all is well in Chicago. We missed seeing you guys when we were in Utah a couple of weeks ago. Alyson misses that super-duper cute Lily and the pictures tell us why! She is a muffin top I would love to just eat up!
Good luck with things there, although it sounds like it's the place to be already!
