As always, it was hard to leave the kids but I had a great time in Chicago seeing my friends and hanging out with the girls. It was exhausting too but I was very lucky to have wonderful help taking care of the kids for me. Stay posted - pictures of Cecil coming home are coming soon!!

It was so great to see you this weekend! I know that you and Cecil are enjoying the time together as a family finally - I am so glad he is home safe and sound. The kiddos get cuter every day, seriously. I hope our paths will cross again soon.
