In which life becomes sweet again

Thanks to my mother, the baby genius, John is sleeping through the night:) She suggested letting little John sleep in his car seat and now we are in business! Eight hours of blissful slumber. In other news we blessed John in church and the kids and I flew to Chicago for a visit. Then Neil came up for a few days to help us get home on the plane. It was a great trip. My mom and I shopped til we dropped. We went and had lunch with my dad at his school. Grace somehow knew about snow and started screaming, "Snow, Snow" when we arrived in the windy city. And Grace and "Twoy" and now best friends. Troy kindly shared his room with Grace and he said in the middle of the night Grace would call out. "Twoy"- Troy would respond that he was there and she would go right back to sleep. So here are a million pictures from our recent adventures. Oh, I forgot, the baby has started smiling like a ittle bitty rock star!
