<br />
We took some professional pictures in November for the first time ever, to have some fun family photos and because Layne just turned 2! <br />
Here's a few photos from the mini session we did with a photographer I found on Facebook. Turned out she knew some friends of mine! Small world. :)<br />

I got pretty far though! A lot has been going on- and I'll update that soon. But I should mention, I need to change the name of this blog! We moved! <br />
We moved about 20 min out of the city into a town called Brookfield. Home of the local Zoo. Come visit! BURBS!<br />
More on that later.... with pictures and details. <br />
<br />
For now- Layne took her first Ballet class! It was a free first time class (we didn't join because we knew we were moving at the time).<br />
<br />
Here are some photos our friend and Sophie's mom Heidi took.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
My baby pooped in the toliet in a big girl seat. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
She's actually done it before but this is the first time on the kiddo seat. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Don't get me wrong- she's not walking up to the toliet and going herself. I see in her face that she has to "go" (red face etc..) and I rush her to the toliet and strip her down and she goes! Yay!!! </div>

<br></div>
Layne and I went to Dallas for Spring Break! ( My sister is a teacher and she and her kids were on spring break.. and all the rest of Dallas)... We had such a great time and we really needed the sun and the warm weather. I'll tell you what- it snowed here yesterday and I was REALLY missing texas. (SAD FACE) But i know the beautiful weather is slllooooooooowllly coming to Chicago so I will just sit back and be extra patient. Until then, I'll look back on what a fun trip we had....<br>
<br>
<span style="text-align: center;">We got there, and my nephew Julian and Layne fell in love.. a love / hate relationship, like any family members close in age.. right?!?</span><br>

We went to the Dallas Zoo. Thank goodness for my handicap/ membership holding mother- to the zoo. The zoo was PACKED (because of spring break) and we parked right up front, and walked right in. I'm glad Lincoln Park Zoo is free in chicago every day... if not- I would def. buy a membership, 100%. Walking around looking at animals with kiddos is great and exhausting for them! ;)</div>

Then we went to Klyde Warren Park again.... Which may I say.. I LOVE. Great food trucks, fun little kiddo park in downtown Dallas..... but- can they please get some trees?! My poor little pale child (and myself) don't know how to be in the sun that long. So good to see my friend <a href="http://byebyebondstone.blogspot.com/">Cortney</a> and her adorable children... Ben.. oh ben.. so sweet to baby Layne.. You guys raised those children real nice my friend. Sweethearts. xo</div>
