This month I had to go to Chicago for a work conference and my mom was gracious enough to come along for the fun. I was happy to be able to bring Paije along and I think my mom was happy to get a trip to Chicago. The two of them had a great time playing in the city everyday while I was busy at work. In the evenings we got to hang out. Chicago is such an amazing city..one of the coolest I've ever visited. I hope we get to visit again soon.
Its easy to tell that they're related huh.

Our last night in Chicago we played at the beach. It was such a beautiful night.
Paije loves to eat sand.
Our hotel sat right along the river in Chicago. It was so cool!
They call this weird thing the bean.
We took my mom to the
Shanandoahs while she was here and went for a short hike.
Paije loves the bath.
This photo was taken at our favorite park in D.C. The park is right next to the airport landing strip. Its amazing to watch the planes fly overhead so close.
She is such a happy girl.
The day after this photo was taken
Paije learned how to crawl officially.
Paije loves to sit on Ben's shoulders.
We visited the temple right before a huge thunderstorm began.
Can you believe how grown up she looks in this photo?
