My family had an awesome Memorial Day Weekend in the Windy City.
My sister Sar and her boyfriend Jon flew in from San Francisco, my sister Jen, her husband Matt and their baby boy Sam came from Philadelphia, and my parents, Matt and I drove up from...well, the obvious.
My brother, Craig, and sister-in-law, Amy, have lived in Chicago for almost 9 years, and just bought a new 4 story single family home in Lincoln Park that they share with Lucy, almost 5, and Teddy, almost 2! We decided that it was the best place to get everyone together and celebrate my Mom's milestone birthday this year.

Our walking tour of the Chicago lakefront:
A much needed break at the Field Museum after walking nearly 5 miles in slides. Much to the dismay of my feet, I'm just not a sensible shoes kinda gal :)
Lucy and her new bike! She keeps a water bottle and toothbrush in the basket at all times :)

Wow, the kids are all so big! I can't believe it. So cute! Glad you had such a fabulous weekend with the fam! :)
Awww...cute pics! They make me so nostalgic as we just moved from Chicago after our wedding and I miss it SO much. We have a house in Lincoln Park too! Looks like you all had a great time.
What a cute family!!!
I love all your pictures...Chicago is such a great city. It's been too long since I've been there. All the kiddos are adorable!! And where did you get those green shorts? I LOVE them!!
What a gorgeous family!! And, I am sooo not a sensible shoe girl either. Fashion over comfort every time :).
I love chi-town. We were THIS close to moving there instead of MKE after the wedding. And the kiddos are too cute.
Also, the last Paris episode of SATC is quite possibly the best ever. I love that one to pieces. And I haven't seen the movie yet so thank you for not divulging TOO much info. Nate is rejecting my attempts at bribery to see the movie, I suppose because of the estrogen you mentioned.
I just found your blog. (Google Reader listed you as a recommendation based on my other saved blogs!) I'm really enjoying reading it.
I love Chicago. My husband is from the area and we usually have an excuse to go at least once a year for a cousin's wedding or something of the sort. It looks like you had a great time!
