the weekend

With Nate working lots of long hours we are trying to make the most of our time together, as a family, on Saturdays. Today, we jumped on the train and headed into Chicago for the day. I think today just might have been the most fun we have had together, just the three of us. The day ended with an over-tired baby and what seemed like a very long train ride home but it was sooo worth it! I wish every day could be like today.....

 my boys, playing swords with straws

 can you find us ;)

 our new favorite spot, nate hasn't stopped talking about it since we got home... hours ago

 i can't express how refreshing this was on this summer fall day.

 makai wasn't fond of the idea of putting his little toes in the ICE COLD water

 makai loves playing "chase"

 loving this moment along with so may others from today

 he held my hand for 2.3 seconds...a moment worth capturing

 i love the photo of daddy's hand....always right behind him

 the bridge....my husband makes this bridge look good!

love his smile, he was happy. he needed a day like today....so did I

 the park

 lately, it has been just makai and i at the park.i think he liked having a boy to hang out with

 he was soooo happy

 the boys

 best seat in the house

 random, very large, rear view mirror

 tired baby in the taxi. he rarely does this and it only lasts a few seconds.....i take full advantage of those seconds

 the ferris wheel at the pier

 we couldn't pass up the ride. even though i hate heights and it was the tallest one I have ever been on.

our family on the ferris wheel. what a GREAT DAY it was!!
