Chicago Bits and Pieces

We had a great vacation to Chicago this summer. This post is dedicated to lots of bits and pieces of our trip. 

The boys were so excited to fly this time! No 15 hour road trip for us! They love flying and are quite the experts at it! 

Of course one of our first stops in Chicago is Portillos! 

The boys chowed down! Simply the best! 

Mallory and Bob opening up some shower gifts that were delivered. So excited for them. 

Two cool dudes rockin' some Ortho Swag from Titi! 

Waiting for Daddy to get fitted for his tux for Auntie's wedding. 

Celebrating my Mom & Dad's 40th Anniversary! 

Congratulations to these two love birds! 

We had dinner at Moretti's where Mallory and Bob will be having their rehearsal dinner. 

We had yummy drinks and a delicious dinner! We are all so thankful for the example of a loving and lasting marriage that my parents have set for us. They're the best! 

We also got to spend a little time with this pretty lady. The boys love Lauren and she always brings them such fun gifts to play with! 

On a Starbucks run one morning! Bringing coffee to Kerri. 

We were so happy to meet the one and only Oliver Gregory Liu! Isn't he such a cutie?! Love him to pieces! 

The boys had a great time playing at Kerri and Joe's house. And they LOVED Lucy Liu! She is such a chill and loving dog! 

We went to downtown Elgin to play and have lunch. 

2 friends since Kindergarten, 4 boys between us (well, really 6), a somewhat chaotic lunch, but an AWESOME day together! It's amazing to see how far we've come. And I'm so glad that she's been by my side through it all! She is an amazing mom and I love seeing her in this new role. She's a natural! And Ollie is one lucky boy! 

We were sad to say goodbye to this cutie, but we are hoping they'll come visit us in Colorado soon! 

Next up…our Whitehall Weekend, the Wisconsin Dells, and Wedding Showers!
