Hello from the Windy City! I am only here for 24-ish hrs, but that’s ok because I am ready to make the most of it!
I flew into Chicago on Wednesday in the 90 degree weather. It was not great timing to arrive at 4pm. We spent a solid hour sitting in grid-lock traffic with a cabbie that didn’t seem to have AC.
But once we got moving, I got myself settled for work and headed over to my favorite place.
My sister, brother-in-law and neice Natalie live in Chicago and I had big plans to visit for the evening! I can hardly believe I haven’t been back since Natalie was born in September!
Hard to see, but her shirt say, “I love my auntie.” Ah! Break my heart. 
We played, ate (we’re onto Cheerios), talked (seriously, this child said some of her first words yesterday) and I saw that she actually doesn’t hate the bath – despite what we saw when she visited our house last month.
After Natalie hit the hay, the three of us sat outside on their cute porch to visit over a few glasses of wine. It was such an amazing trip – I adore Natalie and Linds is by far my favorite person to talk to and hang out with. Thanks again to the Sheridans for the hospitality!!
I was up and out the door early this morning for my work event.
But, my time is almost up and then I head back to the Mitten.
Luckily it won’t be long before I see everyone again – my family is coming tonight to stay for the weekend. We have six people, three dogs and a baby coming to stay…whoa! Should be a good time!
Catch you all back in the Eastern Time Zone.
