Over my birthday weekend, I got to go on a "golden" birthday trip to Chicago with my friend Molly! The trip started out rocky. First, we had problems with our rental car and ended up paying $947 for a compact car for 4 days. Luckily, work paid for it, and we didn't have to! Then, we got backed into when we were trying to park at the Shedd Aquarium. The rest of the trip was a blast. We ate Chicago-style pizza, and went to the musical "Dirty Dancing." And, of course, shopped the Magnificent Mile. The next day I met up with Ahna, Nick, and Jared. We had a fun time touring the city and going to the top of the Sears Tower. A great golden birthday!

Maverick playing with his new toy! Naked, none the less!Here's a clip of Maverick crawling!! He's also pulling himself up to the couch. Sorry the lighting isn't the best...that's what we get for living in a basement!
