Our week together in Illinois was so great. Lots of togetherness. Lots of laughter. Lots of good food. Chicago has the best places to eat, in my opinion! :) Highlights include. . .
- Watching my boys interact with Will. Someday they will be known by Will as "those cousins who drive, attend high school, and beyond!" But for now, they simply enjoy playing with Will like he's another brother.
- Shopping with Derek, and only Derek!
- Shopping with Mom--actually, I shopped while she took Kaleb and Aaron on the train at the mall and bought them cookies!
- Finding out our van needed transmission work and being blessed with a quick fix.
- Watching Braylen show his great grandma his iPod touch while teaching her how to use it.
- Beautiful weather, open windows, lots of outside play time.
- Learning a new card game called, "Pass the Ace."
- The fire station of course!
- Reconnecting with an old friend over coffee (for 4.5 hours!)
- Scoring 2 dozen FREE donuts at Dunkin Donuts to share with my family.
- Feeling at home in the home I grew up in.
These times are few and far between, but maybe that's what makes them so special. Thank you, Lord, for a priceless week!
