In Chicago

We are here.  These pictures are in the wrong order so you can start from the bottom if you want.... I'm too lazy tonight to rearrange them.  I have gotten to visit with some fun friends from high school since moving here.  They only get up here about once a year, and two of them happened to come my first two weekends.
Lindsey lives in Chicago, in the down town area so I have been able to see her the last two weekends.  Cyndi came up to visit yesterday and we took a river boat architecture tour together.  It was fun to learn about Chicago and ride on the river.
Scott and Adam stayed home, we didn't think Adam would last on the tour.  It was fun to have lunch and catch up with an old friend.
One day this week Scott needed to go into the city so Adam and I tagged along.  We walked along Michigan Ave and checked out the River and the Bean Statue.
Fun River

Adam likes water.
We went out to a steak dinner on Monday in memory of my sister.  She passed away almost 7 years ago and Last Sunday would have been her birthday.  It is a fun way to remember her and the amazing example she always was to me.
Last Saturday, the day after Adam and I arrived, my friend Erin from high school and her boyfriend came up.  So we all met up downtown and played together for awhile.  At the end of the night we rode the Ferris wheel and had a wonderful view of the city from up high.

The girls.  We went to the Shedd Aquarium and Adam lasted for a little bit and then Scott took him home cause he was so tired.  Erin was nice to give me a ride home later so that I could stay and hang out longer.
We parked at the Navy Pier and took a water taxi over to the meausum and Adam loved looking at the water.

We are here...but without stuff.  It still hasn't arrived, but should be here this week.  Adam is loving the room to run right now and it makes cleaning easier but it will be nice to have a place to sit again.
At the airport.  Saying goodbye to Utah was hard.  We have made such wonderful friends and have loved living close to family.  We miss everyone more than I can describe but are enjoying our new adventure.

Our car getting loaded onto the car hauler.  Adam was at my parents house and we were sad that he missed it, but we did a video chat with them and Adam watched the whole thing until it drove away.  This boy sure does love everything with wheels.
