Chicago and Minnesota

We had a lovely long weekend full of driving, friends, love, more driving, and good food. First, we drove to Chicago and stayed in the Matteson's new digs and got to meet Violet for the first time (and they got to meet Elise)!

Nora and Eli warmed up to eachother quickly, or maybe Eli was ready to get cozy a bit sooner. :)



Violet is a cutie pie!


Nora agrees...


Elise and Violet got to know eachother better...




Then we drove to MN for Simone and John's wedding! It was a wonderful love-filled weekend. Simone had a group of her ladies (including me and Nora!) dressed in bright colors with parasols (idyllic, yeah?) "give her away", which was beautiful. And, to top it off the processional song was Beirut's "Scenic World" - Chris and my wedding song! Just wonderful.

Then, back we drove to Chicago for some fun on the playground and more couch cuddles.

Nora seems to have conquered her fear of slides! Check out that electric hair!




Cute smiles...


Silly faces!



And, back home, Elise was so worn out she allowed me to lay her down while asleep in the Ergo, and she stayed in that exact position for almost an hour! Too cute.
