We went to Chicago for a long weekend in mid-August. Phil had a week of vacation so we packed up and headed out for the adventure of Chicago with all 3 girls. Our wonderful friends Scott and Stacey met up with us for the last 2 days of our trip. We stayed in Downers Grove, IL and took the train into the city one day to go to the Children's Museum on Navy Pier (of course Phil and Grace went on the ferris wheel while Anna, Lily and I stayed grounded :)) The other days we hung out at the pool and went to Schaumburg for a little shopping. We had a great time and survived. We figure going back will only get easier from here on out right? :)
This is Grace and her buddy Brayden who is the son of my friend Allison who lives in Hudsonville. They visited us shortly after we returned from Chicago to meet Lily, deliver a delicious meal and to share the great news that their family is growing with a baby expected to arrive in April (congrats again Parm family!!).
Last week some very special friends, the Rochos, came to visit all the way from Las Vegas. They were in Michigan for 2 weeks and we were so delighted to spend the day with them. This is the first time we have met their newest little one, Isaiah, who is 11 weeks old. The girls had fun playing and Dustin and Phil even managed to fit 9 holes in!! Thanks Rochos for a wonderful visit!! We look forward to seeing you again - whenever that may be :)
Grace and Trinity
Trinity was so excited to see her daddy doing all kinds of crazy little stunts in our backyard. They don't have our kind of outdoor space in Las Vegas - housing lots are quite tight there :)
Isaiah Cyrus - such a happy and laid back dude
