Chicago Weekend

Bright and early Sunday morning. Our three...



Mom & Carl came for the weekend too.






We went to Chicago a weelend ago to see my brother and sister-in-law, Dennis & Sharon. We usually try and get there in the fall, but it has become much more difficult to fit in as the kids get older. In between soccer games, football games, Sunday School lessons to teach, school field trips, etc.--it is difficult, but we still like to make it a priority. We left early Saturday morning and we made it there by breakfast time.

We went to Trader Joe's (a favorite stop) and Marshall's--and then we mysteriously ran out of time before heading to my nephew, Chase's football playoff game. It was a great game and they won in overtime. We'll have to find out how they did this past Saturday too.

As usual, the kids had a fun time playing with their cousins. Sydney was a bit teary-eyed when we were leaving and Avery's tummy didn't feel quite right. Well, she ended up throwing up while we stopped to eat at Wendy's on the way home. Yuck. She ended up having to miss school Monday-Wednesday since shortly thereafter she began running a fever. So far, Lucas & Sydney complained of some stomach aches, but no other symptoms. Maybe the rest of us escaped the sickness?
