After a long hiatas, I am back! It's funny, the summer is supposed to be about relaxation but for us it just gets busier. But, we are having a blast!
About two weeks ago we ventured to Champaign, IL to visit Chris's family and attend FOCUS summer training, for about a week. Despite my nervousness about the 15 hour drive with two little kiddos it worked out marvelously! Our time with family and friends was GREAT! We got to see lots of Chris's sister, brothers, nieces, nephews and even his Grandma and Grandpa came down to visit for a day. We felt truly blessed to have gotten to spend so much time with so much family. Thank you, all, for a wonderful time. We miss you already!
Chris's sister, Amy, has a mastiff named Chloe. Jonathan was intriged. He could ride her like a pony.
Grandma Mary, Chris's mom, was so much fun! She had so many great ideas and fun things to do with the kiddos. One of the many things was making chocolate chip cookies.
The dough was yummy too!!
Cole, Jonathan's cousin, was really great at playing with and entertaining Jonathan. Not only did he play "horse" but also taught Jonathan how to ride his scooter...
Uncle Clay, Chris's brother and Cole's dad, liked to play "horse" too!
Right down the street from Grandma Mary's and Granda Dave's house is a really nice park... which we went to almost everyday.
Catherine had fun at the park too!
AND in the neighbors backyard is a great swingset... which he played on multiple times a day
Our dear friends, Joe and Carolyne with their daughter, Grace, came down from Chicago to spend a couple of days with us. We had fun eating at local restaurants, walking around the University of Illinois campus and catching up.
