The Windy City

Two weeks ago, our family reunited in Chicago for the wedding of my cousin Julie. It was great to see family from both sides and spend time with them even though it was short. As always, there were many laughs and a lot of reminiscing. Some highlights of the weekend included introducing Hadley to all the aunts, uncles and cousins, learning how to do the Soulja Boy and then performing it at the wedding, and Cole got to go snow sliding for the first time. Yes, I said snow sliding because that's what he called it. We can't wait for the next trip.

This is how you pack for a family of 4 with 2 little kids. Yikes!!!
