Vacation Day 4: Family Time in Chicago

After getting back to Chicago late last night from the Notre Dame game, we made it to Peggy and JD's(Bill's cousins)house.  We caught up and visited before going to bed.  We were exhausted from a long game day.  After getting to sleep in(my favorite part of the trip), we all got ready for a family afternoon at another cousin's house Theresa.

It was great to get to see everyone, many of the family we hadn't got to see since our wedding and we were able to visit with some that weren't able to make it out for the wedding.  We had a great time catching up with everyone, telling stories and hanging out.  Seeing Theresa's kids running around did make me miss ours.

 We did share our little news that we found out on Friday with Peggy and JD, since I'm sure they were wondering why I wasn't participating in some parts of the party.  I also shared with my friend Kim, and she replied with, "I knew it!"  We will share with the rest of our family and friends in a few weeks.

We wrapped up our family day with a late night trip thru White Castle.  Bill loves White Castle and since we don't have White Castle, we had to stop.  After picking up some grub, we headed back to Peggy and JD's with Katie(another cousin) and her boyfriend for more hanging out and visiting.

We are still up and visiting with everyone! Tomorrow we will head back to Kim and Steve's for our last day and night in Chicago.  I can't believe how fast our trip has gone, I can't wait to see our babies on Tuesday, and we have had a great time between Notre Dame and seeing our friends and family.  If it weren't for Bill, I don't think I would have gotten the nerve to leave the kids and come, but I'm thankful he talked me into it!
