4 McIntosh Apples

April turned the Big 3-0 on Saturday. For a surprise, without her knowing, I took her up to the Southwest side of Chicago. She had a a night of shopping, a great dinner, a late viewing of “New Moon” and an all day shopping visit to Ikea (one of April’s favorite stores).

We stayed at the Aloft hotels in Boling Brook, IL and it is a very neat hotel. Our room looked like it was furnished by Ikea so it had some interesting furniture and a comforter that I wanted to take home.

We didn’t take alot of pictures, so there aren’t alot and some of them were from my iphone.

Happy Birthday, sweetie and I hope you had a great weekend! Wish it could have been longer.

Although Ean had his party last weekend, Thursday was his actual birthday.

He got his last set of presents from grandparents and us.

Ean still wants to thank everyone for everything. He has played with almost everything so far that we have opened up for him.
