It has been three weeks since we "relocated" to the Windy City. Some days it seems like we've been here for months. Kade and I are definitely missing home, and looking forward to when we get to do all those seemingly mundane things that, truthfully, we took for granted before all of this. Things like mowing the lawn, cooking real meals (including eating with real utensils!) and sleeping in our own bed. Honestly, I can't wait to get home and spend just a few peaceful minutes on our porch swing taking in a summer sunset. But in the meantime, we are truly trying to make the most of our city living….knowing we'll look back on this time some day and smile at the memories we made. One of the things we are trying to do is take in as much of the "local" scene as we can – little places to eat, city events, etc. And to help us remember these things I am, of course, taking pictures of everything. So here's a look back at Week 3 captured through the lens of my iPhone...
And that's pretty much a wrap! Of course, there are a lot of hours between these snapshots that are a lot more...ordinary. But, those moments are wonderful too. Because we're here together, waiting on the two most precious little gifts. And they are busy teaching us the patience I'm only sure we'll need during their teenage years...
With Grace,
Jen
