Trip to Chicago - Grammas 80th B-day

Well--we have had such a great Summer. The kids and I visited Liz (my sister) and her four girls in Chicago. We had a bit of a drive from MSP there with diaper changes and the works (unfortunately Raegan didn't make it to the bathroom at the rest area and we had a bit of a mess to deal with--alas, we all made it!






The girls played dress up while Brody I believe was the Court Gester...they had a ball until Raegan found her heals were hurting her feet and that walking barefoot through the puddles was far more fun.






Liz took the older kids on an adventure through the city using public transportation. Raegan LOVED it! She got to ride a REAL train. Their adventure landed them (a mere 2 hours or so later...just got lost once:))at Ed Debevicks, where the waiter told Annika something about poop in her food from the cook, and Annika I believe told him that he was silly. They had a great time.




The highlight of the trip was Gramma Pat's 80th birthday! Such a good time seeing everyone. We were all at Brian and Rosalie's for the party and it was nice to reconnect. However, have you ever tried to take a picture of 7 kids (soon to be 8) 5 and under? Tough job!


Well, here are a few more fun pics of the kids as they are growing. Love to you all!

Rebecca, These whimsical pics of the girls, and great pics of all the cousins -- thanks for keeping us up to date! Boy, does Raegan look more and more like a "little girl" everyday!!! She looks just as cute as her momma did when she was going on 4. - S.
