It was great that my Sister and my Mom could take the time to drive up from Chicago and visit with us for a bit. They had never been up to see Craig and Amy's new house and if the rain hadn't been so bad, it might have been a better drive.
Mom always finds the way to the kitchen..I think she feels the most comfortable hanging out there!
Craig had a few projects that Jack could help him with. Getting the gazebo top on was one...it's good to have some help from someone around the same height!
As always, I had to take the usual food shot..and as always, the food was great. Nice grilling Craig and Amy!
Mom sat with Taylor and looked at all his books he did in school this year. It was very sweet to see him reading to her and showing all his hard work.
Midge and Mom had to head back to Chicago, but we had a great time just sitting and talking and enjoying the day. I'm so glad they braved the storms and drove up.
Sophie is ready to take a road trip with her scooter...I like the little backpack on the front of the scooter. Just like her, cute!
Katie the birthday girl, takes a minute to enjoy a yummy icecream cone..hey, it's your birthday, so you can do what ever you want!
Before we hit the road for home, Taylor had to show us his awesome karate moves that he's learning..he's a tough cookie!
Thanks Craig and Amy for a fun and very quick getaway!

Those kids are lucky to have all of you in their lives. Birthdays are for family reunions for sure.
I love even those quick trips. I'm going to take one myself this coming weekend for my granddaughter's 5th birthday - and to see them all before they move to Boston!
The moments that your Mom and Taylor are having together are priceless.
Look at those golden curls, she does not even have to pose and she is gorgeous!
Happy Birthday Katie!
It looks like you had a marvelous time. I'm glad you got to visit family and returned home safely!
Have a great week!
Sometimes the short trips are the best! I think you get to see everyone you love, make some sweet memories and go before everyone gets on each others nerves...ha! I always loved weekend trips to Chicago, short but fun.
How great that your mom and sister took the time to come too! It's good to see you all together. The pic of your mom with Taylor is so touching!
Love the pic of Sophie...you could just eat her up! Love the pic of Amy and Craig...what a couple! Happy birthday Katie!
This was so much fun, seeing your family photos from the trip. And your mother looks GREAT. (Love that she found her way to the ktichen...)
