Willie Nelson at Ravinia





Friday night, June 2oth we went to the Willie Nelson concert with Darby and Lincoln at Ravinia. It was a late night so Annabel had to sleep under the stars.

June 20th - 4 month Dr. Visit

At Annabel's 4 month doctor's appointment she weighed 11 pounds, 15.5 ounces and she was 25 inches long. She is long and lean.

We really like Dr. Martin!! He is very friendly.

Annabel's First Trip to the Zoo - June 13, 2008

Lincoln Park Zoo


Busy Weekend - June 7 and 8

Saturday morning the whole family had a class at the church. We decided that Annabel was big enough to move out of the bassinet part of the stroller to her big girl seat. She needs to grow a little more for it to fit perfectly but for now she loves being able to look out at the world.
After church Annabel and Jennifer went out to Naperville for Jennifer Knapp Hayes' baby shower. It was great to see Jennifer and her sister Elise.
Sunday morning the family went to Jack Wixson's birthday party. Annabel napped most of the time but Mom and Dad enjoyed seeing all the little kids running around and having a good time. After the birthday Mom and Dad went out for another round of house hunting. More to come on that topic soon.

We're Back

Since our last post alot has happened. We have not updated the blog due to a few technical problems but everything has been fixed so we will be posting all past events over the next few posts.

On June 2nd Jennifer went back to work and our Nanny, Wanda, started keeping Annabel. We are doing a "nanny share" with another family, The Pinters. Their son is Ben and he is four days older than Annabel. Ben comes to our house and Wanda takes care of both of them. Wanda is great. She takes them on walks, reads to them, sings and takes great care of them. Everything is really going well with Wanda and Annabel loves having Ben as her new best friend.


After our first week back to work The Pinters had us over to their place for dinner. Annabel and Ben got to play together some more. Ben was bragging to Annabel about how he is a "Chick Magnet".

Ben even let Annabel take a nap in his bed.

Annabel goes to Tennessee

May 19 - 23 2008

Ann Elizabeth finally meets Annabel.

Annabel - 3 months old

Annabel loved watching her cousin play tennis! Maybe one day Ann Elizabeth will teach her how to play.

While on this trip Sara and I witnessed Annabel's first time to roll from her tummy to her back. It was like a sporting event too. Sara and I cheered her on and after she made the complete roll Sara and I "high fived" each other. We were so proud and excited. I loved that Sara and I were able to see that together. Sara is so sweet to Annabel, such a good cousin to have!
