Baby its Cold Outside

Another cold week in Chicago! That said, we were able to get out of the house a decent amount this week.  Ella is becoming an expert at somersaults via her tumbling class while also becoming quite the cook (see photos below).  She is an excellent sous-chef when when it comes to cookies, pancakes, and scrambled eggs. The big excitement for Jack this week was his first swimming class. He was a fish last summer at the pool so we are excited for the classes.  Ella also started a new swimming class and loved being at the pool in the winter. Grandpa Al also braved the weather this weekend to come to Chicago and hang out with his newest grandson, Jace. Ella and Jack were also very glad to play with Grandpa Al as well.  

Things you do to stay entertained during winter in Chicago. 
Ella's favorite new game is "Match".  She is actually quite good, and Aunt Erin made this custom version!

You may not be able to tell but this is a bear in a cave.

We went to the Iowa / Northwestern game.  Iowa won. 

The Bushaw boys!
