Make it two years in a row now that it has snowed Easter weekend. Last year we were living in Denver and this year we went to visit Ben’s sister Sara (“the parakeet” to some of you) and her husband John in Chicago. Don’t get me wrong, even though I grew up in Florida, nothing beats an afternoon watching the snowfall or the look of a tree lined street with fresh snow perfectly perched on its branches. However, when I place this image in my brain I imagine it to be around the months of December through February and NOT the middle of March let alone Easter weekend! To quote my ever-witty sister-in-law, “Oh snow, I could just punch you!” Well said Sara, well said.
Don’t fret! We did not let the weather hamper our Easter fun. It was too cold and windy to spend too much time outside (let me tell you, they don’t call it the “windy city” for nothing-actually it’s called the “windy city” for another reason that has nothing to do with the weather but that is another blog-it was windy nevertheless). We went to the Field Museum, ate some deep dish, and even got to see one of our favorite people, Mr. Stephan Monteserin. A fun time was had by all.
Now we’re home and counting the days until Ben’s graduation. The cold weather seems to have passed but the rainy season is here. Sigh. I know one day soon Wes will get to see the outside of the “hobbit hole” on a daily basis.
Here are some pics from the trip and some other fun ones. Of course Wesley is in all of them. He’s growing up so fast. He even got his first tooth a couple of weeks ago.
