Chicago

We recently visited Chicago to remember Tom's dear Grandmother Maren.  She was a very influential person is Tom's life, and it was a beautiful gathering of family and friends to remember her.   We started our journey in the city for a two days, spent two days in Glenview for the Memorial & Family Reunion, and ended it in the city again.  Phew!  I'm not sure how we all survived, but we did!  Oh, and did I mention Tom flied out by himself with both kids!?!?!?  Nice work Dad!

Happy 4th!  Unfortunately, Kyle had just fallen.  NOT HAPPY!

Total Rookie Move - Took the kids to Millennium Fountain hours before Gigi Maren's service.  Ooops.

Kyle exploring the Danish Home - Later that day Shane found Anna & Kyle joy riding in the elevator with the alarm going off.  I'm very glad one of the residents was not with them!

Andrew making sure Kyle did not let go of his balloon before it was time (since this was his second balloon already!)

All the Great Grandchildren
