Jessica & Olivia visit Chicago!

Olivia and Jessica came to see us while Jon was in Japan. I guess they weren't quite sick of us after our week long stay at their house. Here are a few pictures of our visit.

Good morning ladies!

Ollie loved Lydia's ears

The sweet California girl doesn't know seasons. Leaves!
Poor Jessica was freezing

Olivia falls down alot. She reminded me of Agador

from the movie The Birdcage.

(the one that slips and falls because he isn't used to wearing shoes)

The night before they left, we waited for the girls to go to bed and Jessica

and I went out for some adult time with the girls!

Miss you guys already!

Disneyland with the Wilkins family!

In October, we flew to California to for a friend's wedding and took the opportunity to visit the Wilkins family. We stayed at there house for a whole week and loved every minute of it. They were our neighbors in Twentynine Palms and we have remained closed, talking about 5 times a day. We were lucky enough to have Shirley, our "Marine Corps off base mom," come and visit us and watch the girls while we were at the wedding.

Disneyland!

We took the girls to Disneyland and had a great time. We walked around alot and realized there wasn't too much we could do with two toddlers and a newborn, but we had fun anyway. Aubrie was not a huge fan of any of the rides that took place inside, because most of them were dark. She would say "no, no, all done." We only tried a few rides and she ended up enjoying herself after the first minute or so. She really liked the Dumbo ride. She cried when we sat down but as soon as it started she shouted "AWESOME!"

Toon Town

The train ride that we learned was merely a train to get around the park....

and not a ride at all.

This moment actually brought tears to my eyes.

Aubrie was exhausted at the end of the day. She laid down in the

back of the Tahoe before getting into her car seat.
