Chi - Town and Funcie

Last weekend was our regional gathering in Chicago! It was so great to see other missionaries from around region.

View from UIC's campus! Beautiful in the Fall!

Ready to go out on the town!

The frog and I at Rainforest Cafe!

We watched Jacob's brother Joe run the marathon. Very impressive. 

 

 

Then we went to Muncie for our Fall break. Kyle and Sebastian came to visit us too! Love that kid!

And of course we saw Ty! I think that shirt might be too small for me.

 

We finished our trip with a visit with Claire and Justin Mc McCullough and 1 year old Grace. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures with them.

Baby Sebastian

Ok I just have to show you how cute my nephew Sebastian is. Cutest baby I have laid eyes on. I know it might change in a few months but I just love this jolly little bundle of joy!

Trip to Madison

I never posted about our trip to Madison. It was great to see Uncle Chris and (Aunt?) Peg. It was Chris' birthday and we celebrated Owen's birthday too! Grandma made a cake and sand in her deep voice to Uncle Chris all by herself and it was so sweet!

Love this selfless woman!

Owen loved his gift!

We pretended for the picture that we had gotten Uncle Chris a gift.

As always, a picture of me and baby. You wouldn't believe it though. In the last week or two I have grown a lot! And I look a lot bigger. A student here, Rose, said that I exploded in the last week! :) I shock myself sometimes walking past reflective windows. Wow she looks big. Oh my gosh that's me! Mom and dad came to visit and she couldn't get over me either. 

Off to Chicago for a regional gathering with missionaries throughout the region. Then to Muncie to see old friends and family for Fall Break!

Sardines and Such

Great news at Bradley. We have been squished like sardines at daily Masses in the chapel here. Especially Tuesday and Wednesday nights. There have been about 40 students there which is reaching the max. There have been discussions about where we could move.

Last weekend we got to visit the great town of Madison Indiana, Jacob's hometown. We went to the Madison Chautauqua (an art festival) and celebrating our nephew Owen's 8th birthday! 

Men's Rosary on Friday mornings has been a hit. Once a month the women are making breakfast for them in thanksgiving for their sacrifices for the women. Today there were 10 men which is about the usual. It is slowly growing!

We went to see Little Shop of Horrors on campus last night. It was cute, great music and one of the girls in my Bible study was in it! She has a great voice. Her name is Hope. Awe. Hope and Joy how cute!

Got to go get ready for our sleepover tonight with the girls. I am going to make Laura's homemade hot chocolate. MMmmmmm can't wait! The guys are having a camping trip.
