Chicago!

L and I travelled to Chicago last month for the weekend for my oldest friend, Jenny's, wedding. After much uncertainty with Glenn's schedule and Lincoln being sick, L came with me and was an absolute angel (heavenly music) on the flights. Glenn wasn't able to make it but we bought travel insurance for his flight and he spent the weekend on the aircraft carrier. We got to see Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Smith on Thursday night as well. A last minute plan that worked out wonderfully!

A wedding isn't quite the same with a sleeping baby strapped to your chest but it was fun to see old friends and neighbors. Plus, Lincoln looked extra cute in his wedding attire. 

Since the wedding was on Friday, we still had time to see my brother and Jen on Saturday. Miss them so much!

Impromptu cocktail hour between the wedding and reception.

It would have been so much more difficult if my parents weren't also attending the wedding. They brought the pack n play and we all shared a hotel room together. We stayed at a Embassy Suites on night and a Springhill Suites the next night. Both perfect for traveling with kids. One room for the baby to sleep in and another to hang out while they are sleeping.

 

We lived next door to the Krema clan for 12 years. What a wonderful family! Miss them!

Me and the Krema girls. Michelle got married last May, Jenny in October and Ali is next June! They are going to keep their dad from retiring for a bit I think! :)

The beautiful bride and our families.

On Saturday we drove down to Naperville and Lincoln got to see his Aunt and Uncle!

 

I'm glad Christmas isn't too far away and we will get to spend more time with them. See you soon family!
