Those closest to us will get the title of this post:)
After spending an extra long weekend in Ohio we made it back to Chicago with "so" many plans as we had the entire week off of work! One day of being back we knocked out 3 grocery stores and a doc appointment for Lyla. Unfortunately Lyla still didn't get a clean bill of health...4th round of antibiotics for a double ear infection.
Day 2 of being back we quickly agreed to throw all plans out the door and enjoy the time we had off until it was back to reality. So here it is Saturday night...looking back on the week it has been one of the most relaxing weeks BUT most of all a week to remember! As the pictures will show below we have been having a lot of fun with Lyla! Monday is going to be a very hard day...
The Austin family has not been out of their comfy clothes for 3 days and you can go ahead and make that 4! I hope you all had a great New Year. You will see our celebration below:)
Thanks Schneider Family for the new portrait lens...it's fabulous!!!
What you can't see is her holding her suitcase which goes everywhere with her. On this day, I think we found a brush and a panda bear inside.
Lyla loves LOVES her new activity table. Many more activity table photos to come...
Making sure her chair is positioned perfectly...
Sesame Street...she walked around the couch and right over to her chair:)
A box of 100 building blocks = many ways to have fun!
Check out daddy's face...all his hard work...
Gone...
Whew...a double smile :) :)
Trying out Doogie's bed (Lyla's new kitten)...notice the suitcase :)
Lyla's new tent - thanks Schneider family! I thought for sure I would find the two of them fast asleep inside...
There is nothing better than a sleeping bag and tent in your bedroom...Oh to be a kid again:)
Lyla and Doogie are becoming very good friends...whew!
Choo Choo...
Who says train tracks are for boys???
Lyla trying to blow in her Choo Choo sound maker thingy...
Doogie getting in the action...
Guess who's at the activity table again?
I am losing track of the days at this point...what a wonderful feeling!!!
Like Lyla was really going to allow that...
The suitcase it back...
This time making the perfect reading chair..
Ut oh...Lyla has had enough...Lyla did not stay awake until midnight to help us bring in the new year ;)
Lyla's in bed = Michael got down to business!
Last year we ruined some very good steaks so this year we decided to "keep it real"...
Michael made a couple of his specialities...yum I am hungry just thinking about it!
Twice baked potatoes and a very juicy...seasoned perfectly burger!!!
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1...Double hand kiss!!!
And then we resumed our Scrabble game while sipping on Tea and Gatorade! Yep that's The Austin New Year Celebration...perfect! And if you can believe it we tied!!!
So to wrap things up here is Lyla's...once again...new and improved play area!
And there couldn't have been a better picture to end with...LOL!
So tomorrow is Sunday...But we are bound to conclude this time home just as it started...in our comfy clothes and enjoying time with our Sweet Lyla Bird!!!
Happy New Year!!
