Back from the Windy City

Hi everyone. We're all back home-- even Lily is back from camp. We had a fun time in Chicago at Mom's friend Tina's Big Fat Greek Wedding-- and it was very Greek. Most of the ceremony was in Greek and there was a lot of Greek dancing at the reception. I was great traveling there and adapted to the hotel room just fine. I made Mommy very happy by sleeping in until 10 am (our time) on Saturday morning-- I think she and her friends went to have a few "juicy cups" at the hotel bar just after we arrived, so she was grateful for a little extra sleep. I loved meeting all of the girls and picked up lots of gossip about everyone from ND. Before we left Chicago I got to visit with Uncle Dave at his hotel before his game. It's been a long time since I have seen him! We also had a great visit with Aunt Jen and Uncle Billy on our way through Indianapolis.

Mom and Dad were so busy keeping me contained at the hotel, wedding etc. that they didn't get any pictures of me-- Mom's friends have lots of pictures of me, though so maybe they will send some later this week!

I did get my school pictures back on Friday. As my teacher had predicted, they didn't turn out so well. I didn't like going to the other room for the pictures and I cried before they took them, so here is a picture of me in the role of "saddest little girl in America." I also scanned in my class picture. You'll see that the cool girls knew to where denim and pink. My best friend Ashli is the third from the left. On Friday when Mom and Dad picked me up early from school to leave for Chicago my group was sitting down having snack (Cheerios on Fridays). They witnessed how I kept my eight Cheerios in front of me and started eating Ashli's. It's a good trick if you can get away with it! Perhaps this is why we are best friends?

I am looking forward to my visit from Grampy and Grammy Pammy and Aunt Suzie this weekend!
