I’m exhausted but the great kind of exhausted that comes from spending a few days with family, squeezed in our place, non stop activity, seeing the sights, showing them around our city and neighborhood, and spending time as a family.

Two little girls sobbed as we walked to church and had to say goodbye to their cousins. Hearts full and grateful for family that we would want to hang with even if we were not related. I married into an amazing family and watching the cousins together is pure blessing. My nephew Joel asked, “when are moving back to Africa or somewhere else?” I answered probably not for a while since we have this surprise baby and he sighed in relief and said “YES! thank you baby boy!!” So sweet. We missed Jason but had a great few days.  We did up Chicago right yo!

Taking them to our fav ice cream shop right behind our house for some quality cousin bonding and sugar highs was a must our last night together.

    Awesome pictures that perfectly captured the highlights of our weekend together. We love you guys and had the best time doing all the fun Chicago stuff and neighborhood things with you. Since we didn't make it to Africa, a visit to your home was long over-due. Much love!!!
