It's Snowing!

So it's our first night in Chicago and it's snowing! Callie didn't seemed phased at all by the snow. She's enjoying the hotel room, however, because there's a full length mirror down at her level. She's been playing with the baby in the mirror most of the time we've been here. 

We ate at a place called Cajun Connection up near Starved Rock today. (Really good!) It put us up about halfway to Chicago. We arrived at our hotel at 4:00. It's so near all the shopping centers -- we're going to have so much fun! There's a free shuttle anywhere within 5 miles of the hotel so we're going to be off and running tomorrow! :)

The only problem thus far has been that they messed up our reservation. They put us down for October instead of November so they already charged us a no show. We managed to get a room anyway; it just took a little more time to check in. They've promised refund our charges from October,  so hopefully we'll get everything cleared up with the manager tomorrow. 

I would put up our pictures so far, but seem to have forgotten the cord to the camera . . . Typical, but at least it's nothing that important.

We're really hoping that our sleep training has worked and we won't have to revert to our old methods on this trip and ruin everything we've been working on so far. 

Other than that, everything's going well. We've just got a very curious baby and a pretty hectic household (hotel room)!

So fun! I hope you guys have a blast. Who knows- maybe Callie will be a big city girl!

Sunday Morning

Yesterday, Callie came into my room while I was finishing up getting ready for church by putting on my jewelry. Callie: Mommy, you're very pretty. Me: Callie, that's very sweet. Thank you! Callie: You're welcome. Daddy's pretty too! Me: Oh Callie, you need to go tell him that . . . :)

Meanwhile, back at the Farm . . .

We're having some exciting happenings around the Booker Farm so I thought I'd write a little bit about what's going on with the kiddos. Callie Callie is so excited that we now have two dogs and three cats. Their names are (dogs) Belle and Ariel, (cats) Duchess, Dixie, and Thomas O'Malley -- Tom for short. She is very excited to be wrapping up another school year and looking forward to our travels this summer. She is taking on more responsibility around the house (which I love) and doing an excellent job for the most part in taking care of all the animals. I'm certainly enjoying watching her grow and blossom in so many ways, but this is especially significant to me. Philip and I are really striving to raise our children to be responsible, caring, and kind adults! I'm now teaching her on Wednesday Night Bible Class and I love observing her for the first time in a classroom setting as her teacher as well. She is a delight to have in class, if I may s...

Sometimes it's hard . . .

I feel like I've finally awoken from a long, chaotic dream. The past couple of weeks have gone so much more smoothly. The first 3 (or so) months with a new baby just throws my world upside down and inside out. While I'm in it, I find it hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel --  that time when we all adapt to each other and find our new routine. I'm not saying I don't love it, because I do. I just don't love all of it! So I'll do a quick little catch up, write Nolan's birth story in another post and we'll be back on track. For a little bit at least. I think I've said before that I love writing. I mean love it. But for some reason, I've never been good at keeping a journal. I really want to. There are so many moments I want to make sure I write down and remember and I want to be good at keeping track of everything. But over and over again I prove it's just not something that I'm consistent with. It irritates me to the point th...
