we're back

we're back. what a fun time. a little wet in chicago, but fun just the same. i wish we would have had a few more days to explore. the girls really did do well, but with airport security it was a pain in the butt! kylee got so mad at them when they made her take off her shoes. kylee was so funny this trip. she was all about daddy! poor guy had to sleep on a fold out sofa bed while i enjoyed an entire bed to myself. i was able to stretch out, alan just got a couple of knees in the groin, and fingers in the face. as you'll see below alaina got her own drawer to sleep in. i tried to put her in bed with me, but she just couldn't do it...she needs the boundaries. another classic kylee story....we were at panera's getting lunch, everyone was in line except mom and i, kylee comes up to our table and clearly asks, "ohie, what in the hell are you doing in my seat?" ohie started laughing and i just looked at kylee and told her it was not nice to talk to ohie with that tone....completely oblivious to what was really said. the "hell" word went right over my head, i didn't get the real version of what she said for two more hours. i couldn't help but laugh.

the rest of the trip to michigan for brian and nikki's wedding was great. congratulations guys. we are so happy for you. it was great to see everybody, and reminisce. i have to say it wasn't too much fun getting up at 4 o'clock in the morning the next day to drive back to chicago. we were absolutely exhausted, but well rested now! thanks so much mom and dad for coming with us, we couldn't have survived with out you.
