Living it up in Illinois!

1.  Here we are standing outside of MONICAL's PIZZA with Uncle Chris and Aunt Steph...

This last weekend we went on a road trip to Champaign, IL to see family. The Lord was kind to us in that no baby was born on the way there or back.  We also had a wonderful time with family and are so thankful for the Lord's blessing in giving us family that we love spending time with.

They were so nice to him and most definitely proved to us all what great parents they are going to be!
