The BLOG Turns 1!

Today marks the 1 year anniversary of our Blog. Last May 13th we talked about our trip to Chicago to visit Jeff's Grandpa and celebrate Mother's Day by telling both of our parents about Isabella being inside Robin's belly. So I thought it would be fitting to talk about last weekends trip to Chicago.
On Saturday morning we got up and drove to New Lenox to Jeff's aunt Mo's house. Jeff's parents, sister and her boyfriend, Joe came from Ohio and met us there around 1pm. Isabella did well on the 3.5 hour drive. We stopped once to feed her and she slept for a little while, but otherwise she was pretty content in her carseat. Jeff's Aunt Debi brought over lunch to Aunt Mo's, yummy enchiladas. We had a very nice visit and it was good to be able to be able to visit and show off Isabella considering everyone's hectic schedules. It was Jeff's cousin Cassie's prom, his cousin Mike's b-day and Aunt Mo and Aunt Debi's b-day weekend. Isabella interacted with her first dog while we there!
Next we headed off to Jeff's Grandpa's place in the south suburbs of Chicago. We hung out there before heading out to eat at the country club. Supper took a while at the club, so we took an exhausted Izzie back to the hotel for the night. The next morning we got up and met at Gabe's place for brunch. It was one year ago at Gabe's place on Mother's Day that we announced we were expecting. Here is a picture of everyone at Gabe's, except for Robin who took the picture. We also added a picture of Great Grandpa meeting Isabella for the first time.
