Chicago!

A few months ago, Wes slid on some ice in his car and smashed into a limestone wall. So, over Spring Break, we headed up to Chicago. Wes's brother Tim owns a Maaco store, so he helped us out fixing it. It was a great excuse to spend some time in Chicago with our family and friends. And, I have to say, Wes's car looks brand new! I'd post a picture, but the car is with Wes at work. Thank you Tim!

Elise had such a great time with her Uncle Tim and Aunt Molly. We also had a fun day with Michael and Julia Whiting and their daughter Jaylin.

We went to the Field Museum with Michael and Jaylin, then Julia joined us for dinner (Elise was grumpy by then, so I didn't get any pictures). Jaylin loves Wes and Elise - here's what our family may look like when Elise is older and we have another little one :). Jaylin was so cute at the museum - she thought everything was so cool. She kept exclaiming, "Oh my word!"

I was hoping to have some pictures of our new kitchen to post, but we had a little snaffoo with the countertop. One of our measurements was off, so we had to reorder a piece. I was a little heartbroken, but I have recovered and can patiently wait a couple more weeks before the transformation takes place.

Here are pictures of Wes, Tim, and Elise at the park. The weather was absolutely beautiful the whole time we were there. Somehow, Molly escaped all pictures.
