Chicago Jacobs

 Chatham, MA is where we spent 6 days at the end of September.

We took a ship to Martha’s Vineyard, a boat to see the seals, had a family photo shoot, drove up to Provincetown and ate lobstah rolls and chowda!

The weather was sunny and cool and we took advantage of it by spending as much time as possible in the outdoors.
Ava took her first bike trailer ride in the Provincetown.  We were lucky enough to see the whales from the shore.  We hiked up and through the sand dunes and had many great laughs.

We celebrated Harlow’s doljanchi while on this vacation.  She went straight for the stethoscope when it was time to predict her future.  We may be calling her Dr. Jacobs soon!

Here come the top two teeth! Although this girl can eat without them just fine!

Ava was treated to her first mani and pedi at 675 Nails in Skokie. I have a feeling she will always want to join me when I treat myself!  

This day happened to fall on the same day she pee peed in the potty for the first time!

Big day for our big girl!

Daddy is ahead of the game!

More indoor fun ideas!

Apples, donuts and animals galore!

Harlow’s first apple picking experience was a success.  She loved everything the orchard had and then some.

Ava couldn’t have been happier also.

Grandma joined us this year and we ate our way through the place.

Both kids crashed as soon as we buckled them in!

Next up is Didier Farm for pumpkins!

Harlow making a mess and saying Uh Oh!!!  Love my Harlow.

We took the kids to a playground across the street from the Glen and we had a fun time.   We grabbed some dinner from Bravo and enjoyed a view of the little lake on a gorgeous night.

Our little girls are growing up so fast. Christine and I love them so much and we are enjoying every fun and hard moment of parenthood.

There is no stopping H now.  She is officially crawling!

She is so chatty and recently has started saying “this” and “uh oh!”

Love it!!

H has her second tooth!  It appeared a few days after her first.  She’s using them well to eat all of her food.

Cousin Jasmine turned three and we were there to party!  
  

10 months and 10 days old.  Harlow’s first tooth is here!

Ava’s birthday is a three part celebration this year.

First, she spent the weekend in MI City with her cousins and had cake, piñata and beach time.

She went to Dunkin Donuts for breakfast on her actual birthday. Then we went on the train to Millenium Park and she played in the fountain.

She is ending the birthday extravaganza at church with an ice cream cake and more!

Three never looked so good!

Summer nights are warm and lovely.  We have been enjoyed the live music almost every Wed. night.  Food, music, fish and ducks make for an awesome time!

The girls loved the sand and water in Michigan City!  They could have spent the entire day soaking up the sun!

We’ve had many rainy days this month.  However, any moment of dry weather we are outside!  Both of these kids love being in the outdoors and never want to come inside!

Harlow rolled back to front just now!  Sweet baby Harlow.  You’re growing up so quickly!

Christine and the girls spent an awesome week in SLC and I joined them for the last 4 days and we had a blast. Ava loves to hike and spend every minute of the day outside and Harlow enjoys tagging along no matter where the day brings her.
