A day after I got back from Utah, my little sister Andrea came for a quick visit. She wasn't able to come to Disney World with us because of her work and school schedule, so she came and stayed the weekend at our house. This is her first visit that the weather wasn't super cold. Of course we shopped the entire trip!
Her first day here we went out to lunch and to the outlet mall. She found a ton of cute stuff at the guess store including a purple bag that I wish I would have gotten! That night we made some yummy stir fry and then I went to a friends baby shower. Christiann stayed home with the kids and Andrea and I went to the movies to see Life as we know it. Loved it! Definitely a cute show and of course I cried. It's a must see!
The second day Christian was off work so we went into Chicago for the day. We shopped Michigan Ave and enjoyed being outside in the great weather. That evening Andrea and I went out to sushi and at the last minute went to another movie. I hardley ever get to see movies so it was great! That was the most time I have been without both my kids in a long time. Christian is an awesome husband for letting me get some time alone with my sister!
The last day she was here we slept in and went to downtown Naperville. We walked around the shops and had lunch. We took Addy over to the fountains and to see the ducks. There were lots of red leaves everywhere. So we took the kids pictures and let Addy go crazy in the leaves. She had so much fun!
We had so much fun seeing Andrea while she was here. My kids always love all the attention they get from her. She always plays with them and is so silly with Addy.
Here is my Benson boy at 7 months. A few things about him at this stage:
-He is wearing 12 month clothing
-He weighs around 19.5 lbs
-He is rolling everywhere and pushing himself up
- He can sit by himself until he gets excited and then he falls over
-He is taking 2 naps every day
-Sleeping around 10 hours a night
- He is now sleeping in the same room with Addy and it's actually working out
-Favorite foods are bananas, sweet potatoes, pears, and squash
-He loves to play with Addy. He watches her every move!

It sounds like a wonderful visit. I want to visit you and go shopping too. The pictures of Addy in the leaves are beautiful. Benson is getting so big. I can't wait to see Halloween pictures.
Those are some seriously AMAZING pictures of your kids! You are quite the photographer! And your kids are adorable, so that helps too I am sure. I am glad you had fun with your sister. :)
What a fun trip...I am sad I wasn't there to hang out with you guys. That is a darling picture of you and Andrea, and I love all the new pictures of the kiddos, very cute.
When you going to post about Disney World? A little overwhelming to dig through those pictures, but I know you have the better ones. Lovins
