The Cloud Gate in Millenium Park in Chicago...is that enough titles in one title? :)
Our friends the Hunzekers came and visited us over Labor Day weekend--we went downtown and saw a few attractions that we hadn't got to yet---it's a pretty awesome view with the skyline reflected as well as those around it. And it's so shiny. I don't know how it stays so clean but it's pretty awesome.
Alex and Savanna have been building and building lately. Alex made 3 "Santa Clause's" and Savanna a castle for Grandma (a lego figure).
Alex and Keith worked together and built this treasure chest. Alex LOVES having a special place for all his special things! It's fun to look inside and see what is valued.
Tall Tower
Cheesy grin
Savanna (as one of our 'girl activities') wanted to have a tea party--we all donned a princess dress and spilled lots of water
Abby thought the tea cups made good slippers--funny girl
Fingerpaints!! (and body too!)
Creating!
Puppets--the kids just like their picture taken and then go back and look through them.

Friends...the kids can't wait for the next time they'll see their friend Ellie. Since we moved here they have done a great job of keeping up a correspondence one with another. They had such a great time together--even if it meant not a lot of sleep. They had so much fun and were so sad to leave!

We went to the park after church and the girls had a fun time playing in the log--though I think they were both happiest swinging for half the time.
We went to a children's museum in Chicago--Ellie and Savanna were great doctor buds taking care of babies
Waiting up late for our friends to arrive!
Working on building the treasure chest
Happy Birthday Keith--I don't remember if I posted these last time..but Keith turned 33 and got 2 cakes!
A snake like his nephew had...and that the kids helped decorate
And a chocolate raspberry cream cheese delicious one too...for mommy and daddy!
