Today in Chicago



It's a beautifully sunny but cool day in Chicago. We had a relaxing trip up and George stopped at Dominick's on the way to his home. I LOVE shopping for food in Chicago!! There is such variety and the produce is always so fresh looking! And I got a pot of stargazer lilies for Beth! She can plant them later in her Mom's garden or in the courtyard of the dorm. We took a walk in the Midway garden, played with bubbles and a ball and bat, and admired the blooming trees and shrubs. We have some really cute photos from the gardens which I'll post later when I've been able to make them smaller.
Elijah is such a sweet, happy baby. He's full of smiles and chuckles! Gabe has been entertaining us with his inventive play and awesome vocabulary. Last night Beth made us some of her fantastic spaghetti. Her sauce is the best ever! And we had some great pastries, including a giant doughnut!
This afternoon George is off teaching a class. Earlier Beth got a chance to go throw some pots at the art center.
We'd been hoping to see John J and JT today, too, as Elizabeth wanted to see her nephews before leaving for 3 months, and possibly see the Harry Potter exhibit. However, JT's mother's aunt has a birthday party today and so we'll only see JT this evening and in the morning. I'm sure we'll have good photos of that, too!
