Well... I haven't been very good lately about Blogging. My apologizes. I thought for sure this Summer wouldn't be as busy as the previous ones. However, I was wrong. Thus far, we have had something going pretty much every weekend. But we are thankful for being busy with our business as well as being able to spend lots of time with family!
Aunt Britt and Cousin Caleb came to Chicago to meet Brixen for the 1st time Friday, June 24 to Tuesday, June 28. It was so great to be able to wait for them at Midway! It was a very special moment... We hadn't seen Aunt Britt or Cousin Caleb in almost a year. A lot has happened since that time, mainly us having a baby!
They arrived on a Friday afternoon so we decided to just relax and grill-out that evening. Chris and I made our signature Peppercorn Pork Loin with Ranch Roasted Red Potatoes and Salad with Homemade Dressing. It was delicious. We ate at our formal bigger table. It was a very nice evening. Both Brixen and Caleb went to bed and we were able to sit-up and chat for awhile. Fun times!
Saturday, we had to go to Menards because it was the last day of the sale on the cabinets we wanted to purchase for our FLIP. I will blog more about our business later but if you are interested in watching it... Go to www.watchourflip.com. Put in your information and you will receive updates whenever Chris puts up new videos, etc. We bought our cabinets and headed back to Evanston. We decided to have lunch at Bar Louie. It was very good! I love that place! We walked a little bit in Evanston but went home for naps.
Sunday, we took Britt and Caleb to our Church for the 1st time. It is a lot like their Church down in Florida. Caleb went to Kids Kingdom and enjoyed himself very much. Met some new friends. The best part is that Nana (Chris and Britt's Mom) bought matching outfits for Brixen and Caleb. TOO CUTE! See a photo below, even though I have already uploaded them onto FB.
Monday, it was suppose to rain but of course, the meteorologists had that forecast wrong! It didn't rain so Brixen, Britt, Caleb, and I tinkered around at Target for awhile. Brixen had to spend some time at our Rehab Project. Since it was their last night in Chicago, we decided to go walk around downtown Evanston and had dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings.
Tuesday was the day they had to get on a flight back home. I decided to take Britt and Caleb to Lincoln Park Zoo... I thought it would be fun for Caleb. He was able to ride a kids train there and see a lot of animals. We only had a couple of hours before we had to leave for the airport but it was still a nice time. Brixen enjoyed himself too... He loves to look at all the people and he bought Daddy a little Lion at the gift shop.
We had a wonderful time when Aunt Britt and Cousin Caleb were visiting. Not sure when we will see them next. We would love to take a trip to Florida soon but thinking it won't be until around Brixen's 1st Birthday... WOW! Time sure does fly by. Next month, Brixen will already be a half-year old. THANKS FOR COMING TO MEET BRIXEN, AUNT BRITT AND COUSIN CALEB! WE LOVE YOU!
