We have had a very busy couple of weeks. Between work and Ben being sick, we tried to buckle down on packing. I can't say we did a great job, because by the time our parents got to us last week, there was still a ton to do. It's amazing how the little things just accumulate.
So last week we headed down to Chicago for CRC Synod. We arrived Sunday evening and spent time at the Shedd Aquarium and Field Museum. The boys got to ride for the first time on the subway. It brought back a lot of memories for Jon and me: The last time we rode it, we were going downtown to get my passport the day we left for Indonesia 2 years ago. We had a great day and enjoyed some relaxing time in the evening. Tuesday morning was Synod, then we headed back home to pack up the apartment. We have to say a huge THANKS to our parents, who have the experience and just got right to it. We got most of the packing and cleaning done on Wednesday.
We spent Thursday afternoon and Friday driving. And here we are back in Minnesota. We unpacked a few things Saturday, but it was nice just to sit and play with the boys without feeling like I should be packing. We are staying with Jon's parents, so we won't have to be unpacking everything. There are still a few things to do, like find the screws to my desk so we can put it together. We have some adjusting to do, but that will come with time. So begins our summer in Minnesota.
