Dad & Mom Staddon, Donald and David drove up from West Virginia to surprise Esther for her birthday a few weeks ago…and they succeeded, too! It was so much fun to have them here for five days and we fit a lot into those days together. Thanks to the tip from a grocery bagger, we visited the ice sculpting in Downer’s Grove and despite the nip in the wind, enjoyed the varied and unique sculptures everywhere.
Last week, Robert and I planned a spontaneous trip to Indianapolis to meet the McDowell’s newest little addition and see friends at South Campus. It was a short, full, fun trip indeed!
