After visiting my parents in central Illinois (i.e. the big town of Hartsburg) we headed up to Chicago where Scott had a conference for work. Gavin's first trip to the big city (although it was pretty quick trip).
Then Gavin and I picked up my cousin, Andrea and drove out to my aunt's place in Naperville for the rest of the week. We had such a great time - great dinner on Sunday night (Gavin finally fell asleep in his carseat over dinner), early morning risers (5:30 a.m. central time - usually 6:30 eastern time) - with my 1 cup of coffee with this fabulous coffee maker. Mary Ann - how efficient and just perfect to have a cup of coffee each morning! It makes 1 cup at a time - love it!
Then - out to breakfast, a little shopping at Borders and then back in to watch Charlotte's Web (which by the way if you haven't seen it - definitely a must! - so cute). Gavin didn't make the movie premier though... he was pooped and already in bed.
Gavin got lots of quality time with both Andrea and Mary Ann - and we enjoyed every minute of it! I enjoyed all of our great talks and Gavin enjoyed ALL of the special attention of course.
Thanks for letting us call your place home for a few days - we just loved it. AND - after we dropped off Scott in the city I realized he had the camera - therefore, I was unable to take any good photos of us all together.... next time for sure!
Congrats to Andrea - as she graduates from college this weekend.... way to go!
