Traveling Man

Last weekend, we took quite a trip with our little man. We had a whirlwind of a weekend with a trip to Chicago and Indiana. It was Michael's first flight! Sam and I were both surprised at how well he did on the plane! The portable DVD player was a must-have. Elmo helped him through the whole experience. He didn't even notice his ears popping!

Sam's brother and his wife live right in the heart of Chi-town, so it's always nice to stay with them when we visit! I mean, they're looking at the Sears tower from their living room. Of course we had to see a few places in the short time we were in the city. We made sure that Michael saw the beloved statue of Michael Jordan at the United Center. We also went to the Lincoln Park Zoo and enjoyed some deep-dish pizza!

We also had the opportunity to attend a wedding of some good friends of ours in Indiana. We were able to stay in a really nice house on the lake. It was such a blessing to be there and relax. Definitely a mini-vacation for us! Thanks Cindi, Kathy, and the Yoder family!

Michael had never been to a wedding before, so we didn't know what to expect. We thought Elmo might help him get through it as well. However, Michael was done with Elmo. He wanted to roam around the church. Sam got to see the whole wedding and I got to listen to it while Michael and I were climbing stairs in the lobby. Nonetheless, it was a beautiful ceremony! God is going to bless this marriage and use them for His glory. What a fun thing to be a part of!

It was soooo warm in Georgia a week ago and now Fall has definitely made it's debut. Night time is pretty chilly, but the days have been feeling wonderful! We made our annual trip to Burt's Pumpkin Farm today, so those pictures will be coming soon! Happy fall, y'all!
