Chicago: Maya Loves Her Cuzzies

Maya had a wonderful time with Grammy and Papa, but she also loved spending time with her cousins and their wonderful parents, Aunt Shelly and Uncle Mike. Our visit wasn't long enough, but it was very fun.

Sweet treats for everyone at Grammy and Papa's house.

One more hug for Matthew. We'll miss you!

Chicago: Maya Loves Grammy and Papa

Maya loves Grammy and Papa (big surprise). Maya especially loves making baked treats with them. Here are a few cute shots of the little lady with her grandparents!

"Let's make cookies!"

Grammy and her eager student.

Papa demonstrates proper stirring technique to Maya.

Maya shows us her stirring skill. Excellent.

I'll say it again...Maya loves Grammy and Papa.

Chicago: Downtown Reunion

Lucky for us, we were able to make a quick trip to Chicago for Memorial Day weekend. On Saturday, we took the train into the city with Grammy and got to spend a little time in the heart of Chicago. We also got to meet up with the lovely Mele and her boyfriend, Marty.

The town where we met...nearly 18 years ago.

City girl.

Mommy, Mele, and Marty. Awesome!
