April visitors

We've had a wonderful month of visitors from all corners of the continent... and globe! We shared meals and playtime (and adult conversation during naptimes) with both friends and family over the course of the last four weeks.

Karen came up from Gainesville, FL to take a break from her grueling PhD program and our highlight of the weekend was a trip to the Field Museum where we saw the brand new Mammoths & Mastadons exhibit. The Pecan Sticky Buns on Easter morning were also noteworthy, if I do say so myself...

Then Mike's parents joined us for a weekend and we went down to the Magnificent Mile for a so-clear-you-could-see-forever view from the Hancock Observatory and a short tour of some shops along the strip.

Earlier this week we welcomed Keith, Kate and Elijah and introduced them to Evanston. The highlight for me was watching the babies interact and have a full blown squawk-fest over lunch with each other. I really think they hit it off. :)

And, we just bid our dear friend Vince (C's godfather) goodbye after a weekend that included a trip to Wrigley Field and Wicker Park for a little architecture exploration on foot and a lot of Evanston-based catching up, beer sipping and baby-adoring.

We loved seeing you, friends! And we miss you already.
