Chicago!

The kids and I spent almost 3 weeks in Chicago.  It was so nice to go back home and see my family.  We spent a few days at my sister's house and the kids loved playing with their cousins.  Rob didn't want to leave their house.  We also spent a lot of time with my grandma, Nini.  Rob and Bella loved jumping on her neighbor's trampoline.  We went to the zoo a few times where Rob discovered dolphins.  He LOVES dolphins now.  Too bad our zoo doesn't have them.  We also spent a lot of time with my brother, Peter, and his fiance, Grace.  Rob and Bella became quite attached to Uncle Peter.  Rob talked about him for weeks after week got back.  I got to catch up with some old friends which was really nice.  I of course got my food fix and can't wait to go back again for more.  We had a great trip but really missed having Nate with us.  I can hardly wait to go back in June for Peter's wedding and seeing all my siblings.
