This weekend was busy too!

We had a great weekend seeing more friends. First we went to an air show party at a colleague of Chris's home. (But I forgot the camera in the car.) THen we went to Darien (after a really fast stop in the city to see Ana and Matt and their children) to our friends' wedding. Kate and Pete met when they lived in a house in Ann Arbor that Chris lived in for one year along with a few other people. It was a really fun house. All the residents took turns cooking and made great food! Kate was especially good at cooking up yummy vegetarian dishes. I got to eat over there a lot since I was an honorary house member. One of my favorite memories of that house (even though the outcome of this memory was not so great) was watching the 2000 election returns come in. My Chem Eng classmate Chris Brinkerhoff is standing next to Chris (Dunn) on his right. It was so fun to be at the wedding and reconnect with a lot of Michigan friends.

While Chris and I were driving all over Chicagoland, my parents took Eliot to see Thomas the Train at the Illinois Railway Museum. Hopefully I can post some photos from that. On Sunday morning we met them for church and lunch with my Grandpa John. He and Eliot rolled toy cars across the table to each other at IHOP (bottom photo).

We would love to try to see you guys soon! If I don't go into labor this week, we are scheduled to be induced on September 7th (yes, Labor Day!) Maybe sometime near the end of September, we could catch up! Sounds like you guys are terribly busy, but I'm sure it's great to see friends and family!
