We aren't letting the winter weather blues get the best of us. This past weekend we ventured out and about...with much success:)
First on the list was our favorite sandwich shop/restaurant - Jerry's in Bucktown. It is so fun to discover all the kid friendly things now that they apply to us. Jerry's has a special place to keep strollers and was more than accommodating with the seating arrangement!! Lyla looked around and then fell asleep just when our food arrived! One thing that has not proven to be true is that parents will never again eat a hot meal...so far so good in this department:)
Next up a walk to the grocery!
Then we decided to press our luck - daddy and Lyla relaxed at Starbucks while I got in a shopping trip:) YAY for shopping for regular clothes again!!!!!
After a very successful Saturday we decided that Sunday brunch was an absolute must! For those that do not know about our tradition - Sunday brunch is something that Michael and I try to enjoy every weekend. Sunday brunch is followed by us locking ourselves in the house for the rest of the day - we don't answer the phone - and we just enjoy "our" day before the long work week ahead!!
What has helped make "outings" so successful is that Lyla will take a bottle of expressed breastmilk. This is good for several reasons...to name a few: Michael can help out...I don't have to pull out the breast in public...she drinks it like a champ (very efficient).
Stay tuned for more outing updates...Next on our list is going out for Sushi this Friday...keep your fingers crossed that our luck continues:):)

YAY - I'm finally getting a chance to catch up on the blog! I miss Lyla SOO much and can't wait to see the Three Austins next week. The photos of "Lyla and Friends" are so cute. (By the way - Josie now has two dolls: Nell & Savannah so your friends clearly have great names.)
The "one month" pictures are really cute. She has changed so much & I really can't believe a whole month has gone by. I bet you're already back in your pre-pregnancy jeans too, huh?
I really can't wait to see you all for T'giving and let's start figuring out the plan for Xmas soon, too.
BIG HUGS!!! Us
