Matt and Jessica's Wedding

We had a great time last weekend celebrating Matt and Jessica's (Corey's sister) wedding. We left home friday afternoon and headed to Chicago for the weekend.  Friday night the festivities started with the highlight for Micah--the trolley.  We took a trolley from the hotel to the church for the rehearsal and then from the church (St Michaels in Old Town) to the restaurant (Howells and Hoods on Michigan Ave).  The evening went well and after the kids were spent we took a taxi back to the hotel for the night.  We had a bit of a restless night playing "musical beds" (and lets just say whoever slept with Micah got the short stick so to speak) but none the less the kids were still up bright and early.  So we decided to do an early morning walk and started off by a trip to Dunkin Donuts (with a much needed coffee for me!) and then walked around the city a bit.  Micah loved being in a busy city mostly b/c he loved spotting the cars, taxis, buses (which are also Adelyn's favorites), helicopters, street sweepers, etc.  After our walk Corey and Micah went back to the hotel to swim and Adelyn and I went to Jessica's bridal sweet where the girls were getting hair and make up done (and of course Adelyn being the "girly girl" she is needed her nails done as well).  We then ate a great lunch at a local place called Eleven City Diner.  The wedding started at 3 pm so we had a little time to get the kid (short) naps beforehand while Corey and I got ready. We managed to wrestle (literally) Micah and get his tux on him and make it to the wedding with no time to spare (gotta love Chicago traffic). The kids did great walking down the aisle (I held their hand and walked between them) and managed to do pretty well during the ceremony.  Jessica looked beautiful too.  The reception at The Blackstone Hotel followed.  Pretty much by the time we got our dinner the kids were just done.  They (esp Adelyn) just couldn't handle any more.  Corey's mom's neighbor/friend offered to sit with the kids at our hotel room while they slept which was really sweet of her so Corey and I were able to go back to the reception for a bit.  Sunday morning started with Dunkin Donuts (again), church (at Harvest Bible Chapel), lunch (at Portillo's) and then home.  It was a great weekend all around celebrating and spending time with family!  Congrats to Matt and Jess!!!
