Last Days in Chicago....

I am already missing Chicago....I have only realized how much I LOVED this city once I left and can no longer call Chicago home....I really hope to be able to go back often and visit friends that we LOVE!

Our last few days in Chicago were packed with packing, finishing up things for Doug's program, and trying to see people we won't see for awhile....here we are at our last Lil' Sluggers practice...Lil' Sluggers was AMAZING...we all LOVED it...I was a little over zealous with the packing I ended up packing Evan's cleats...he had to wear his church shoes! It didn't stop him...he LOVES baseball!
Audrey is sitting on the "dugout" watching the game....the first of many days ahead for her at a baseball field!

We finally went to this water fountain....I just LOVED the way it looked and always wanted to take the kids to play in the water...but, it never was hot enough...finally on one of our last days there it was "warm" enough for them to play so we grabbed the bathing suits and had a BLAST!
I don't think they stopped running the whole time we were there...it was so fun watching them play...I LOVE seeing my kids happy....
It was so fun having dinner with so many great friends and friends who were so helpful in watching our kids and taking us in! THANK YOU!!!!!! We will miss you guys! Our last elevator ride down to our car....we packed that elevator so tightly Doug was stuck in the back corner...he couldn't move...we were laughing so hard....if only the other people who wanted to get on the elevator thought it was as funny as we did!

We will miss you Chicago...but, we are so excited for our new adventures waiting for us!

So fun! You two are such great people and will have great friends everywhere you go. Your kids are adorable and I am sure lots of baseball games for you has just begun. When you are all settled, let me know your new address. Take care!
