We have had a great few weeks visiting family and friends in Chicago and South Bend, IN. Eliot has soaked up all the love and attention from his grandparents, great-grandparents, aunt, and uncles. I got to see my kitties - cute as ever and so content living with Eliot's Aunt Andrea. Chris and I also went to our Chicago offices to say hello. We got to visit some of our favorite spots including Lincoln Park Zoo, our church for the kids' Christmas Eve service, the Botanical Gardens, and several public libraries (libraries aren't the same for us in Belgium because most books are not in English and hours are more limited). We indulged in some foods we only find state-side like sweet potatoes, Mexican food, and Carol's Cincinnati Chili. We also gave some of our Belgian favorites as Christmas gifts including Speculoos paste, syrup waffles, and chocolate. It will be hard to leave our families again in a few days but we are so thankful for this time with them. When we are back in Belgium I will put up a photo album from our visit.

Great photos. I wish we'd been able to see you while you were here. When you are back for good, I'd love to visit and catch up.
