We spent the weekend in Chicago for Nick’s brother Perry’s wedding, which was spectacular (truly an understatement). The shindig was fabulous. During the downtime Jude & I hung out in our room at the Holiday Inn. Shout out to Aziz the doorman who always had the best advice + friendliest smile.

Special mommy time

Jude always has so much to say – I can sit & listen to him babble + coo forever

All of Jude’s stuff we smashed in for our trip to Egypt + Jordan

In the end, even after consolidating we still had 2 regular sized backpacks & a roller carry-on. Still, it was nice to know we weren’t going to be checking any bags (at least not until I go shopping while there!).
