My Dad

We got very lucky this past week and had a random visit from my Dad! He was actually working in Chicago and so we got to go visit him! It made me wish that family was only a 3 hour drive away all the time. So we headed up to the Windy City and had a short but sweet visit. I wish it could've been longer and I wish it would've been warmer... oh and I wish parking wasn't such a pain in Chicago :) BUT we did have fun! It was so nice seeing my Dad and the kids were SO SO happy to be with him. When Dad first got in the car we were trying to figure out where we were going to park (plan A wasn't working out for us) and so we were just talking. I looked over at Makiah and she had her eye on Grandpa... and she was smiling. When I told my Dad to say "hi" she looked away and became very shy. Haha, it was cute. No worries though, as soon as we got out of the car she was in his arms and good to go. We had a yummy dinner and then hung out at my dad's hotel. Both of the kids LOVED being with Grandpa... no shyness at all. I love that the kids know who family is, even though we only see them once or twice a year :) We did have a ton of fun though and we can't wait to see him and the rest of the family again. 

The next day we got to go to the temple. It was so nice to be there again. We saw some familiar faces and we felt so welcome. It was a nice trip! On the way home I wanted to head back into the city to see Dad again, but unfortunately we couldn't :( Thanks Dad for coming all the way out here just to see us! *wink, wink* Love you!
