We were so excited to be able to take a 3-day trip to the windy city last week...the weather was supposed to be cold and snowy, and God blessed with sunny and 50's...we were so thankful. We showed Oak our old neighborhoods and small and exactly the same restaurants that we loved when we lived there 10 years ago, and we got to walk all over the city and go to the zoo, children's museum, parks, Navy Pier, the history museum and many of our favorite places. We love every place we have lived because of the people, culture, food, and memories...but Chicago will always be our favorite BIG CITY! And Oak is definitely our boy...he took note of every bus, truck, and train he saw. He loved walking down the sidewalks hand in hand with us amidst the traffic, big buildings and throngs of people. It was such a great respit for us as a family during a very busy season in our lives...what a joy!
We thoroughly enjoyed Easter with Oak this year...We tried explaining to Oak the true meaning of Easter, and we are not sure he got it yet;)...but he does understand the candy this year...he was able to participate in 2 Easter egg hunts (and now knows how to run and grab multiple eggs at once, although mommy made him share his stash afterwards with other friends:) We were able to spend most of Easter weekend as a family and with my parents and brother and his wife. It was relaxing, fun, and a joyous time to celebrate the gift of our Savior and His amazing love for us!
