“Mama GG’s House”

We spent the last week in Grand Rapids Michigan for a reunion of sorts. We got to visit with aunts, uncles, cousins, grandma, grandpa and great grandma (GG). We spent almost every day hanging out at “Mama GG’s House”, as Brock says, and just having a grand old time visiting, eating and capturing MANY pictures. It was a great vacation for us because Brock had lots to do. Besides chasing around his older cousins, the experienced Grandma’s (Cory’s Aunts) had houses stocked with toys for him. Really we got the ROYAL treatment – thank you! We sure wish we lived closer to you all!

The last two days we headed to Chicago for the wedding of Cory’s best buddy from high school and college. We had a blast seeing some old friends and dancing the night away to Arabic music. While we were in Chicago (which is the coolest city!) we taught Brock to say, “I’m in Chicago”, but he said it, “I’m in Cago”. He couldn’t say the “Chi” part. Every time we left the hotel room he would proudly announce, “I’m in Cago”!

At the zoo with Nana. Brock loved the zoo. As you know he can communicate well with all the animals! His favorite was the monkeys.
