While in Chicago we visited the excellent Kohl Children’s Museum. We had a lot of fun and Maile got in some practice to prepare for the upcoming arrivial of her baby sister. She covered the basics – changing, cleaning and feeding pretty well … but we are going to need to work on her carrying technique 😉

We had lots of fun this past weekend in Chicago. One of the highlights was getting to spend time with GG Irv (and GG Bea and Aunt Julie too). GG Irv turns 93 in November, which means he is almost 90 years older than Maile. In his prime, GG Irv would have definitely battled Maile for the opportunity to tell the next story, but these days he is more in listen mode. Maile didn’t seem to mind – she was amazing with him – very tender and affectionate, she’d rub his arm and give him hugs and kisses. Maile made GG Irv’s eyes sparkle a bit too – and as you can see below coaxed a very big smile out of him!
