We have been in Chicago for four days and are leaving in the morning. It has been a whirlwind trip with lots happening back home, but we have been able to stay the course in spite of it all. We thank God for His watchful care. I will share some highlights with you, though the best ones can't be captured on camera. If you are a 'Grammy', you know what I mean.

| Matt, Jana, TJ, Addie, Levi, and Ricky |
 |
| Ricky loves piano lessons. |
 |
| Levi's serenade. |
 |
| Dinner out. |
 |
Jana and Matt took us on a crime tour bus where we learned about the gangsters of yesteryear.
(I am a mystery and crime buff, so this was really fun.) |
 |
| Harry Carey's (take me out to the ballgame) restaurant was built over the hideout of Frank Nitty. We went into the basement to view his 'shrine'. |
 |
| Frank Nitty's safe |
 |
| These were tunnels that the bad guys used to escape. |
 |
| This caught my eye on one of the old newspapers. |
 |
| Movie night |
 |
| Ricky Ryan |
 |
| Thomas James - TJ |
 |
| This is the reason for visiting at this particular time. We sat through a four hour recital to see this little girl. It was worth it...and we are really good grandparents. |
 |
| Sunday night walk to the park. |
 |
| We stopped for tacos on the way home. |
 |
| I found these guys in my bed to keep me company while I write. |
So fun!! So glad you are enjoying this time with your family. I visited Chicago back in 2011 and had so much fun. I loved all of the history in the city; we did all of the touristy things!
