Trip to the Windy City!

Murray had to go to Chicago Friday morning for a residency fair at his school. Basically residency programs from all across the nation go visit the school this day to try to get information out to students who could be potential residents in the future. Cole & I thought this would be a great way to let him meet some of the people who loved him and prayed for him while he was still growing in my tummy so we decided to tag along with Dad. =)

We had a great time seeing some of our friends (sorry to those we missed!) and visiting some fun spots! Cole loved his visit... well truthfully he slept through most of it. Haha. Anyway, here are some pictures of the trip highlights.

Cole in the king size bed in our hotel room... he looks so tiny! Also a close-up for his 6 weeks old picture! Can you believe it's been 6 weeks?!?!

Meeting Mr. Dave and Mrs. Peggy- 2 of our great friends from church. We really miss them!

All bundled up for our walk around Chicago. Cole didn't appreciate the wind too much! Also, a trip to Chicago wouldn't be complete without eating at Potbelly's- at least not for me! I'm sure Cole is as addicted to the cookies-n-cream milkshake there as his momma is since it was one of my regular cravings during pregnancy!

Down by the lake.

Cole & Daddy in right downtown! You can see the Hancock Building in the background.

Posing with Mickey & Goofy in the Disney store on Michigan Ave. Cole- "Seriously Mom? This is so embarrassing!"
Gina came after work to visit us. Cole couldn't quite wake up for the treat, but I sure enjoyed catching up!

Enjoying dinner at TGI Fridays with some of my girls from work. He should definitely recognize their voices from all the middle of the night talks we had!

That's so great y'all got to visit Chicago! Looks like y'all had a blast. Wanted to say Brantley and I also love us some Potbelly (we had them in Dallas) and we also enjoyed having a milkshake stop there when we went on our trip to Chicago! Haha. Cole has grown so much in 2 weeks!

No, I can't believe it's been 6 weeks! That honestly blows my mind. Cole has been to more places as a newborn than I have been as an adult! Ha!

Your trip looked fun, and your hotel looked very plush! Cole is adorable, as always!
