We had such a fun spring break. But first......big news!

Sam was offered a job with a company in Toledo Ohio as an asset manager with Health Care REIT (www.hcreit.com, check it out!). He accepted, and he starts just a few weeks after graduation on June 21st! Since we had already planned a trip to Chicago for Spring Break, we stopped in Toledo for a few days since it's right on the way. I'm so excited for Sam. This is a great opportunity for him and us. It seems like a fantastic place to work. When we visited his future office, we were totally welcomed with open arms and treated like VIP. I think we're really going to like this company. Living in Ohio is going to be something totally new, I hadn't even visited Ohio until last week, but we already have good friends there. (Doing their residency for med school) So it was fun to stay with them and have them show us around a little bit.

After our time in Toledo, we drove the short 4 hrs to Chicago to visit the Booths! They lived across the hall from us last year. T and their little girl played everyday and we've been missing them so much this year!! It was so fun to see them. We also got to meet their new little girl and we introduced our new little girl to them! It was great. Tiff is a really great host, we did a lot of really fun things and ate a lot of really good food in the 3 days we were there. Here are a bunch of pictures.

All the kiddos, hanging out, watching some cartoons :)


These two lovebirds just picked up right where they left off. They're so cute together. I love it.


The first day we were there, the weather was so nice! We played outside and went on a walk around their cute neighborhood. The kids loved being outside...so did we.




Cute tiny Ellie...she's 6 weeks older then Maizie and about 4 lbs lighter. ha ha ha.



I sure love my little girl!!


Ice cream!!


Cereal!! :)


Taylor checking T out through her binoculars at the Nature Center. ha.


He wouldn't touch the sand (he's too clean) but he'd look at the pretend snakes through his binoculars.


He did touch a live snake...(totally blew me away! WAY unlike my kid)


Fun train ride at the mall!



Tummy time...


Brooke, thanks for the bunny stuffed animals !!


Digging through all the toys together, just like old times.



Bath time!!



Thanks Tiff, Robert, Taylor & Ellie!! We had a blast. (and we'll see you a lot more often now that we'll only live 4 hours away!)
