The past week or so has been full of nostalgia for our time in the city, and excitement for our big move this week. I have found myself saying, "this is the last time we'll..." about a million times, which has been both happy and a little sad. Happy when I'm talking about finding parking on the street or carrying groceries up our stairs, and sad when we ate at a favorite restaurant and went to one of our neighborhood parks this weekend. Moving on is always a little bittersweet for me, but this time, there seems to be even more emotion because all my memories of Leila so far have been in this condo and this city. With that said, I also can't wait for all the great memories we make in our new house! And so that's it for us city slickers, it's Naperville or bust!
Our last time at the Thursday meetup with our play group...
A new hobby for Leila...walking around in mommy's shoes
An old hobby, but another favorite of Leila's...spreading her clothes out
Helping pack
Friday, Leila and I went to the Nature Museum down in Lincoln Park. She loved the butterfly exhibit and the Lego play area the most...
Concentrating hard on her Legos
She loves smelling flowers!

More fun in the park this past weekend...Leila learned to climb the ladder!
