CHICAGO!

Over Labor Day weekend, we headed up to Chicago so Matthew could do a little work and we could visit with friends along the way.

Our first stop was the Nemeths house where Ian played with Ellie and rode in their boat, we got to meet little Kailynn, and the parents played a competitive game of Kazink! once the kiddos were in bed.
Our next visit was with Mrs. Zielke from Immanuel. We joined her for cross country practice, but unfortunately didn't grab a picture of the event.

Then we headed out to Harvard to the Gottschalks where Ian enjoyed playing with Henry's toys in a different way than Henry.:-)

The Luedtkes were our stop in Villa Park where Ian was so glad to get out of the hotel room and play outside with some friends and check out all of their cool toys.

All four on the couch for some cuddle time

We went to church at Pastor Schilf's church in Palatine and enjoyed a great pizza dinner with him and his family. We miss you all!

Our last visit was with the Corneliusens for breakfast in Elmhurst and then off to a park so Ian could run around before sitting in the car for three hours. What a gorgeous day to be outside!
