Gino's pizza in Downtown Chicago!

Each time our sales team hits their goal for the week, we get to go out for dinner as a reward! This past Saturday, the wives and kids loaded up and headed to downtown Chicago to meet the guys at Gino's pizza! It is known throughout the country as some of the best pizza there is...and it was pretty tasty:) They make it backwards..with the sauce on top which was weird..but Very good! It was AMAZING to drive right in the middle of the city and be staring up at all the buildings, especially at night. The wives all decided that we have to take a day and head down there for some shopping and sightseeing. So now there's finally some pictures on here that aren't just of Addy:)

The many men in Addy's life:)

Fun at the Park

A Visit from Grandpa!

Some perks of my Dad's job is a lot of his runs go right through Westville! So a couple weeks ago he was able to stop and have a few hours with us! Thanks for stopping by Dad, we sure love you!

Addy chillin in our new home

Since the internet is so unstable and I don't want to have to upload pictures twice, I'm just going to post them all and not write captions under each one. This batch is of Addy in our new apt..the closet door are mirrors which she absolutely loves! I'll hear her jabbering away and when I go into her room, she's sitting in front of them talking to herself..SO CUTE!

update

It's been a few weeks since our last post - and it's driving me crazy not being able to update on a weekly basis! The internet is supposed to be installed today in the apts. It's very hard hauling Addy down to the clubhouse in hopes that they're working that day or not being used..plus you can't download pictures there anyway so what's the point!? :) Life has been busy and very exciting the past few weeks here in Westville. Chris has switched over to sales..no more installs for us! He'd thought about it a few times in Ft.Wayne, but decided to forget about it. Then when we got to our apts he kept thinking about it and feeling like he needed to make a change. So after a week of praying about it we switched over. I'm so excited for him and he's done great his first couple days. He had a long talk with our Regional Sales Manager and knocked half a day with him to hear his pitch etc. Chris is as honest as they come, and has a great ability to connect with people and I know those qualities will help him be successful. The bonus for me...I love having the car and the hours are much better for both of us:)
As for Addy..she's getting into more stuff and getting more mobile and LOUDER each day! I can't even believe she's going to be 1 next month! She cruises around on her walker like she's in a race, has this eagle scream that I swear is going to shatter the glass, and has her 2 top teeth cutting through and 1 on bottom that you can see. Yesterday at church we were sitting behind her little friend Tyson..and I look down and she's starting to crawl under the chair towards him! She's never crawled! She may scoot, roll across the floor and "army crawl"..but never up on her knees! Well, now that she's a great walker - she started yesterday!
Saturday for our incentive dinner, the wives and kids loaded up and headed to downtown Chicago to meet the guys for dinner at "Gino's" for their "Chicago style deep dish pizza." Driving into the city was SO awesome! We definitely can't wait to take a day and go touring. Hopefully the internet will get working soon and we'll find some time to unload all these pictures and videos from the past month! We love and miss everyone back home!

Fort Wayne Zoo

Fort Wayne has a Children's Zoo that is one of the top 10 in the country. We've had a lot of rainy days since getting here and we leave tomorrow, so some of the wives got together and we went yesterday. I was down in the gym working out when they called to let me know we were going. So I ran upstairs and hurried and changed, ran a brush through my hair, and tried to cover up my red, sweaty face:) We left 15 minutes later and I was so excited to see how Addy would react to all the animals. It was just our luck, that about a half hour later it started raining...and today it's gorgeous outside! It was a blast anyway and I'm so glad we all went!


Trying to get all the kids to stand still for a picture is hilarious, we had Marli fall in this first one..

and now Tyson fell...

This sheep was awesome..he kept coming up to everyone and would stick his head over the door to watch.

We went for a train ride while it was raining

Kangaroos!

Penguins!

Addy's a baby kangaroo!

The sea lions

The sea lions came up to the window and kissed Addy

This is what I saw when I walked around the corner to go change Addy.
