Chicago


Andy finished his internship on Friday and started his post-doc position today at Wright State. We decided for the long weekend (it's the first vacation day he has had in a year) that we would go back to Chicago. We had such a great time last year that we wanted to enjoy the big city feel once again, especially since Chicago has so much to offer in terms of entertainment.

I will be posting pictures, but I wanted to post this video of Maggie at Shedd Aquarium. The excitement she exhibited during the show, as well as throughout our entire vacation, warms our heart. We both continued to think during our trip how 6 months ago we weren't sure we'd ever be able to do anything like this with Maggie ever again. We've come a long way and we're not ever going to stop.

Whitney and Andy,
It has been so long since I have written, but it brings joy and tears to my eyes to see all of you enjoy summer time that most of us take for granted. All of you look great and we could not be happy for you.
Whitney, you look great and enjoy your last month, I know for our second how much more I was looking forward to things.
Miss you,
Stacey (Tomas, Ben and Emily - maggie continues in Em's prayers nightly, she is a very special little girl)

So glad you were able to take this vacation before Andy digs in at Wright State. And Whitney holds up while waiting for the new one in October. And of course Maggie continues to enjoy the normal life denied her for so long. Thanks for sharing all these pictures!

Love and prayers always.
Great Aunt Phyllis
