The Windy City

We had a great time in Chicago! We went to Navy Pier and looked out over Michigan Lake, rode 1,450 feet to the top of the Sears Tower, ate yummy food, watched UT trample OU in a Chicago Sports Bar, visited the Field Museum and Millenium Park, and even squeezed in a little shopping.

Chicago Style Stuffed Pizza


The Field Museum

Sue is the largest most complete fossil of Tyrannosaurus Rex. Sue weighed 6 tons when it was alive. It is not known if Sue was male or female; it is named after the fossil hunter who discovered it.

Sue's skull is so heavy it has to be displayed separately. The skull on the skeleton is a replica.

Along the river



Millenium Park (similar to NYC Central Park); the faces on the fountains changed and were in motion, so the eyes blink, and water squirts out of the mouth sometimes.

This sculpture in Millenium Park was really cool. It was fun to walk around and underneath it to see how your reflection changed.


Go Horns! UT v. OU

Aubrey in Austin

Aubrey visited Aunt Gi and Uncle Aaron in September. We got to babysit while Bryan and Andrea went to a wedding. We all had lots of fun!

Aaron sent me flowers and took me to Wink restaurant for a WONDERFUL dinner! I had roasted quail with grilled nectarine and some other stuff. Aaron had duck breast with some really good stuff. And of course, awesome dessert! It was SOOO good. All my friends and family called and emailed and sent me cards! It was a GREAT day!

K-9 Cousins

We have a picture of Putter, the tiniest K-9 Cousin! Turns out he's pretty smart! (Hook 'em!)


Sadie's other K-9 cousin, Doug, has also been a smarty-pants lately.
From Renee' (Doug's mom):
Okay. Doug has officially gotten out of control. He wasn't eating the food we put in his bowl last night and kept looking at me and Casey like he wanted our dinner. He jumped up in the chair across from me when Casey got up and we decided to try and see if he would eat his dinner if he could sit at the table and eat. Needless to say he happily ate his dog food out of his bowl, he just wanted to eat at the table with us. I don't think we should be allowed to have kids anytime soon.

The BIG 3-0

So Bryan turns thirty today! Now he's more like C-3P0 instead of R2-D2. Andrea threw a surprise party for him on Saturday.
