We've had a a great weekend seeing the sights around Chicago and enjoying holiday festivities. Another exciting event was the arrival of our new au pair, Sarah, from Germany on Thursday. Our current au pair, Elif, is leaving in a week to go back to Turkey. It's hard to believe she's been with us for almost a year. We'll miss her! Jack and Charlotte have been enjoying getting to know Sarah, and showing her around Chicago. Here's a picture of Charlotte and Sarah downtown yesterday at the Christkindlmarket. We thought it would be nice for Sarah to see a little bit of Germany in Chicago, but unfortunately the market was such a madhouse we only stayed for about 15 minutes.
Prior to going to the market, we had been at a Christmas party at Andy's gym, the Buckingham Athletic Club. Fortunately for Charlotte, there were many other things to do besides visit Santa. We had a nice breakfast, and the kids were able to run around and play. Charlotte was fascinated by the pool. Here she is giving some encouragement to the swimmers.
Is it any surprise our little Drago loved boxing?
Jack got a cute monkey painted on his hand.
Today we went to the Museum of Science and Industustry with Grandma and Grandpa Nold. The kids had such a great time, and I have a ton of pictures to sort through for my next blog entry :)

Looks like a fun and busy weekend! I love the Santa pic...classic! We were sad to miss the party at the club, but were in Galena with my family. Hopefully we can get together soon and meet Sarah. Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. See you guys soon:)
