Wallace's Wonderful Adventure: Meeting Emory

Up and at it early...as usual. We left the house at 8:40. I dropped Todd off at his doctor appointment and I ran out to get Cameron from McGuire's. Ran back in town, stopped at Walgreens, then back to the doctors office to wait for Todd to finish. We were on the road to Chicago fianlly.

We went to Huntley, Illinois to meet up with Breanne, Dustin, their new baby Emory, and Brett. We met them at Jill and Chuck's house even though they had already left to go downtown Chicago. Luckily they let us invade their house to spend time with the kids. I finally got to see Emory. He is 7 weeks old and just the cutest little thing. I held him a lot. I only gave him up so Cameron could hold him a couple of times. I needed my baby fix.

Cameron had to have a turn holding Emory.

He's so cute.

We ordered pizza and caught up. It has been awhile since we had seen any of them. I'm so glad we could make this visit happen. Love those kids. At 1:40 Todd started saying it was time to go. We were out the door by 1:55 and on the road to downtown. We were cruising along pretty well until we hit a big traffic jam. Slow moving for a little bit.This reminded me why I wouldn't live downtown.

So glad to catch up and meet Emory.

We checked into the hotel and then went walking around. We hit the Marble store. Cameron found a couple of things he might like to have. Probably going back tomorrow but we shall see. Continued walking around Michigan Avenue. Tons of people carrying all kinds of shopping bags.

Michigan Avenue.

Texas de Brazil was for dinner. It is an all you can eat meat restaurant. The servers walk around with big sticks with meat on them. Delicious. We ran into Jill and Chuck there. It was good chatting with them for a few minutes. We were going to meet them for a drink somewhere but we were stuffed and Cameron was ready to go back to the hotel.
