Becky Salyer Seabaugh is...

This afternoon, we made it safely home from our annual post-Christmas Chicago vacation. Good times, good times. While we were gone, I didn't want to advertise that on the Internet (hello, robbers), so I kept track of all of the witty status updates that I would have posted on Facebook. If you don't use Facebook, all you do is put the words Becky Salyer Seabaugh in front of each of the following statements.

Sunday

...is in Menasha and already forgot something. (Isaiah's milk)

...thinks the Windy City is really windy tonight.

...came all the way to the Weber Grill restaurant in Chicago only to order a Wisconsin Burger.

...is blogging on paper because we can't connect to the Internet for free at our hotel. :(

...also forgot the Elmo Potty Seat and formula scoop at home. Sorry, kids! At least I remembered to pack you.

Monday

...forgot to stop the mail. (Thanks, Barb!)

...was followed to Chicago by Brett Favre. That guy just won't go away. (Bears and Vikes played at Soldier Field, if you don't follow football.)

...lOvEs that teachers get in free at the Shedd Aquarium.

...is enjoying the new Fantasea show featuring whales, dolphins, sea lions, penguins, and a red tailed hawk that didn't feel like flying to impress us today.

...'s husband is eating fish for lunch at the aquarium. Wonder where they picked up those filets to fry up...???

...is eating an Italian beef sandwich. YUM.

...is admiring the 2009 Christmas Tree at Macy's.

...shared the world's best mac-and-cheese from a place called Rock Bottom with Mallory. They also have the world's best customer service.

Tuesday

...is glad that we waited until today to visit the Hancock Observatory. Very clear sky today!

...is a little nervous about an elevator that goes up 94 floors in 40 seconds.

...is getting hungry. Time for another Italian beef sandwich.

...is too tired. We're skipping the Childrens' Museum. Maybe next year...

...is amazed how fast time flies. Time for another Italian beef sandwich? Why, yes, I do believe so.

...is glad to be back to the hotel early to hang out with the kiddos.

...finds it hilarious when Isaiah sits and looks out the 9th floor window saying, "Hi, Chicago! I love Chicago!" Me, too, little buddy.

Wednesday

...has that very sad, vacation is over today feeling. :(

...finds it interesting how things change with kids. It's only 9:40 and we're already on the road. Back in the day, we would have been just waking up.

...made it safely home to Appleton...after stopping at the Pizza Ranch in Fond Du Lac for lunch, of course. No Italian beef sandwich. :(

...is unpacked. :(

...was meant to live right smack in the middle of a big city. I miss you, Chicago...

Ten Month Pics

Our daughter is eleven months old now, but I couldn't not post ten month pictures just because I am running a little behind schedule!

Mallory wouldn't stay in the chair long this month. She likes to sit up and rock it across the floor.

Future ballerina?


My Smiley Girl :)


Such a serious face...



Sweet Little Miss, you're growing up too fast!
Love,
mommy
