Sunday Night in Chicago

We have two new Chicago Bears fans in the area! I don't know who's cuter? We've had a busy week traveling to Wisconsin and D.C. , but it is so great to be back in Chicago. We had a great pot roast dinner, went for a beautiful fall walk, caught a few fish, and are know enjoying the Bears Sunday night football game with the company of Nana, Pa, Aunt KK and Uh-Beh (Uncle Ben). KK is teaching Kate to shout, "Go, Go, Bears!" as I type. It's a great Sunday! Brian is having fun sporting his new Cutler jersey. The board of elders at Lord of Glory gave it to him at the beginning of the service last week to help his allegiance along. It is a very nice jersey and he loves sporting it.

On Friday and Saturday Brian, Kate, and I traveled to D.C. for Brian's grandfather's memorial service. Brian's grandfather Roy Sr. passed away at the age of 94 a few weeks ago. Losing someone is always sad but Roy Sr. certainly led a full life. It was a nice service that honored his memory and celebrated his rich life. Brian was able to preach and we were able to visit with many relatives, which was certainly a positive of the weekend. Though Kate was tough to keep occupied on the flight, it was really nice to have the opportunity to be there. Unfortunately, I dropped the ball on the picture front and do not have any of our D.C. family. The only pictures I have are below of Kate playing with two straw hats after the church service.

Kate is certainly making her desires known. She insisted that I wear a hat as well.

"Hat Kate, hat Mommy!"she told me.

It's fun how silly your kids can make you, and how rewarding their smile of accomplishment can be.
