Trip to Chicago

This past weekend Dave and I flew to Chicago. Unfortunately we had to go home for a funeral, but we were so thankful that we got to make the trip. It meant a lot to Dave to be there for his family. We stayed at Dave's parents house and got to spend time with his sisters and their boyfriends.

Thanks to Becky and Cort, who opened up their house, we got to visit with a bunch of wonderful friends as well. Dave and I can not get over how big all of the kids are getting! It was so fun being there in the mix of everyone. All of the kids are so polite and well behaved, it really makes us wish we lived closer... sadly, that won't happen as long as they live in Chicago considering while we were there the high was about 15 degrees. No thank you, we can not handle the cold anymore.

Thank you so much to Becky, Cort, Mia and Cole for the Baby Name Book and Baby Einstein Links and also a big thank you to Mike, Nicole, Steph, Pat, and Ryan for the adorable Touch and Feel Alphabet Book. You all are so sweet to have thought of Baby D. Also, thanks to Shannon and her maternity clothes, I no longer have to squeeze into my jeans! I now have some comfortable maternity clothes that allow me to breathe.
