A Week In The Life Of
Sunday, November 30, 2008
Gobble, Gobble, gobble, gobb, zzzzz.....
After babysitting Reece and Fish together in the afternoon we decided two things-number one, we're personally better off without twins and two, we were hungry. So it was off to the Yatch Club to meet up with Reece's parents and grandparents for a beautiful dinner overlooking the lake.
Early Sunday morning, we said our goodbyes as Sarah, Jonathan and Reece drove off to the airport to make their trip home. Then after a quick visit from Sissy, Jeff, Danni and Eliza Kaplan, the Aaron clan spent the rest of Sunday on the couch. All in all, the weekend was well worth the exhaustion!

Everyone Counts
I Believe In Yesterday
Halloween 2008
After the park, we went to Oma and Opa Greven's for dinner. Opa craved a huge pumpkin for Fish to celebrate his first Halloween. Fish loved watching the pumpkins face light up from the candles inside.
It was a very fun first Halloween for Fish that lasted for two weeks. After being a rooster, skeleton, and Humpty Dumpty, Fish is hoping to pick out his own costume next fall and can't wait to try some of that delicious stuff everyone kept handing out. Mommy and daddy, on the other hand, are a little nervous about the sugar rush!

And Who Are We Today?

The Way We Were
That New Baby Smell
Let's Backtrack a Little
The next day we went to Farm in the Zoo in Lincoln Park to hang out in the pumpkin patch. Jeff, Sissy and Danni Kaplan met us there too.
A few weeks later, our playgroup met at the Daley Plaza in downtown Chicago to see the Halloween show that the city puts on every year. Some of the kids wore costumes-Fish was a scary skeleton that day! We went to Grandpa Richie's office to trick or treat before the show and Daddy's office afterward.
In the middle of October, Fish took his very first plane trip to Portland, Maine to see his cousin Reece, Aunt Sarah and Uncle Jonathan and go to Emily and Stanley's wedding. Mommy and Fish were making funny faces at the airport on the way there. Fish was a terrific passenger but they didn't give him any wings-we assume they were worried about what kind of on-board trouble a baby would cause with sharp edges. Will the racial profiling ever stop?
Fish was also lucky enough to have his first out-of-town sleep-over at his Aunt and Uncle's house on the night of the wedding. He came home a very happy little boy because Reece shared all of her toys...even her exercauser!
The entire trip to Maine was so much fun! We got to spend time with friends and family-there's nothing better than that! We can't wait for the Grevens trip to Chicago in November. In the meantime, with Halloween only one week away, we spent last weekend getting all of our decorations up. That meant a trip to a farm to scout out the pumpkin patch for the biggest and best pumpkins we could find. Grandpa Richie joined us for the day-it was really windy and cold, but we had fun anyway!
On Tuesday of this week, we had a costume party at Fishie's Wiggleworms music class. Fish went as Humpty Dumpty and Noni Laurie came downtown to hang out and sing songs.
