Audrey and Grandpa enjoying some moments together watching Shrek
Audrey is quite the little helper lately. Nana plopped the cookies on the tray while Audrey "tried" to sprinkle sprinkles on them (she ate most of them though).
Audrey and Ryan rode in the wagon to each house. Ryan made his way to each door for some Halloween treats, while Audrey refused to get out of the wagon. Chocolate candy did not entice her that day.
Today, we made the drive to the Strong Museum of Play. Audrey had a blast! We had to pull her away from each area and activity so we could get through everything (which we did not accomplish, we will save it for the next visit).

Audrey was so excited to see the pumpkins outside today. She ran over to them and gave a hug to each individual one. She preceded to give more hugs to the rest of the pumpkins that are all around the house.
On Sunday, we spent the afternoon walking around Millennim Park. This section of Grant Park is 24.5 acres and is the center of art, music, architecture and landscape design.
It's not too often that we have an occasion for the Pavone girls get all together.

We were so excited to see Nick in Chicago for the wedding. This was the first time these cousins had met. Audrey was looking to be by Nicks' side all weekend long.

Today we celebrated Audrey's 2nd birthday. We were just over 30 people. With beautiful weather, lots of food and great family and friends, everyone seemed to have a great time. Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate our daughters 2nd birthday. We are so blessed to have all of you in our lives.
This morning I went to fold some clothes in the laundry room and when I came out into the family room Audrey was sleeping. She is fighting off being sick so it is no wonder why she fell asleep on the floor for almost 2 hours this morning.

Last night I took this picture of Audrey sleeping. I couldn't get over how much she resembled my sister at that age.
Audrey now enjoys sitting with Avery and I at the kitchen island. Sometimes she will sit and eat her breakfast with us like a big girl!
Audrey and I took advantage of one of the few beuatiful summer days this year. We packed up the wagon and headed to Nanna and Grandpa's to use the pool.

At first Audrey was not thrilled about her party princess dress but after a while, she began to dance and twirl around and around with excitement. 
After breakfast, the kids made their way outside. They climbed the ramp, went down the slide, they were pushed on the swings, and Ryan even got to sit on the deer target and the tracker. It's always fun to get together with our good friends!
Today Audrey and I went out on the town (to run errands that is). We made our way to Target and then lunch with Daddy and after a quick visit with Nanna and Grandpa.
