Thank you everyone for your love and prayers. Thought I'd share some of the beautiful flowers we were sent. I'm feeling much better physically, now I just have to get back into the swing of life. I head back to work tomorrow after taking off last week. Please pray that the week goes well. I love you all and appreciate all you've done!
Saturday night Aaron was working all night. So I had a few young group girls over and introduced them to Sushi. It was a nice night out. Thought you'd enjoy some pics.
This is the cool quilt that Aaron's mother made us for Christmas. So if any of you are wondering what to do with your old T-shirts, this is what we did. Isn't it great? It's so fun to look at because each square has such a memory with it.
Aria with her new little bunny, though you can't tell in this pics she really loved it and started giggling at it!
Drewber was totally stoked about his "Cars" book that made all the noises of the cars, horns honking, wheels squeeling, engines roaring. He was so excited!
Love to you all! Sarah
Here's a cheesy pic of Spencer and I decorating our "cute wittle twee." It's fun to have a tree again! I love Christmas in Chicago. We're all bundled up, scurrying around the city, buying Christmas gifts, listening to the street carolers and enjoying the brisk winter snowfalls. 
We had both sets of parents up this last weekend for the Moody Candlelight Carols. It was a beautiful concert again this year, and we enjoyed a Saturday of shopping and seeing the city lights. A new discovery this year is the Zoo Lights. The Lincoln Park Zoo puts up a beautiful light display for the holidays, so Sat. night we headed over there to see them. It was very well done and quite impressive!

Mom & Will...
Sweet little Jack.
This last weekend we had Aaron's brother Brett's family and his cousin Brandon's family as well as Holly here. We had a great time going to the zoo, wandering through the conservatory and shopping (of course, always shopping in Chicago). This first pick of of Colette watching the baby chicks at the "farm."
Misha was exploring the egg.
And our walk back from the zoo. Mason was very disappointed not to see the Tigers. They were in the Lion house which was closed for trick or treaters. (We didn't want to wait in the long line)
This first picture is of the Lincoln Park Arboretum. Most people don't Even know it exists, and neither did Aaron and I until we moved into the area and ran across it while we were out biking. So last weekend we went down here to study for a while. Sorry the first picture didn't do well with colors, it was a gloomy day. But I played around with my camera to take the rest of these.
In addition to the garden there's the zoo (which everyone's heard of) and the conservatory. They are all great places to visit...and all free. What more could you ask for! And we'll even supply 2 bikes for the ride (though it's only a mile from our place).
The Cubs didn't win against the Brewer's that night, but we still had a great time. Wrigley is a great stadium and Joe was fascinated by the game. I've never seen anything hold his attention so long! Luv ya Joe! Thanks for coming up to visit us!
