Hello from IL!

Well, I'm now staying with my dear college friend, Kristy and her family. They live just north of Chicago. We arrived Tuesday evening after a long drive from MO. Today, Wednesday we went to downtown Chicago, saw some sights, took Russell to the airport and then spent 3 hours in traffic! It's a good thing that everyone took a nap. :) Tomorrow I make the drive to MN.

We went to Navy Pier, which is where you can see Lake Michigan. We took an archetectual boat tour on the river that runs through the town. It was really neat to see all of the cool old buildings and to hear their stories. We got some hot dogs to eat on the boat. Russell of course got the "Chicago Style" dog.

After the boat tour we walked around Navy Pier for a little bit and then headed off to the airport. It was really fun to see the Chicago skyline.

I can't wait to see the pictures. Sounds like a great time. Ronnie would have loved to have been there, not for the dog but to catch a Cubs game.

Sleep? Oh, Sleep! Where are you?

Once I realized that I was going to have snore free nights, I was overjoyed! What I didn't count on though was my children. On Sunday Night (Mon. morning) all three of them decided that 4 AM would be a great time to wake up. Monday night, Hunter snuck into our bed for half the night until I took him back to his bed. The other half of the night Cannon was up every two hours until I let him sleep with us. Audrey actually stayed in her bed and only cried once. This brings me to last night. 11:00 PM I turn out the lights and go to bed, thinking to myself that Cannon will probably be up in an hour. 12:00 AM Cannon wakes up. I feed him. 1:00 AM I wake up, slumped over with Cannon still in my arms to Audrey screaming. I quickly put Cannon back in his bed and go see Audrey. She is standing up with her blanket and sippy, has already said "good bye" to binky and is ready to get out of bed. I bring her back to bed with me. 2:00 AM Fight with Audrey about the covers (she...
