Audrey's New Friends

This week, Meredith and her kids, Aven and Claire, visited us in Chicago. Much to our delight (and embarrassment as I had told Meredith all about Audrey's "fussiness" in the evenings), Audrey was a complete angel for the entire visit. Aven in particular took a shine to Audrey, calling her "the little guy" and teaching her new tricks. According to Aven, he taught Audrey the following "tricks" while he was here:

*How to wave

*How to say "gah"

*How to point her finger like a "gun"

We went to the Field Museum, the Aquarium, Lincoln Park Zoo while they were here so Audrey has had plenty of culture and educational experiences for a 7 week old! Here are pictures from the week. The first is Claire, concentrating on her drawing. The next is Aven is doing his T-Rex imitation...which, of course, made Audrey smile every time! The third is Audrey in her bouncy seat while learning her new tricks from Aven.

By the way, when I dropped them at the airport today, Aven took my face in his hands, looked me straight in the eye and said... "now you take care of the little guy for me". Too precious!
