Kevykins Comes Home!

Forgive my absence, but after 11 long weeks of being a single wife, Kevin and I finally reunited and got to enjoy the last bits of summer together.  We tried to jam as much as we could into a few weeks, and we did a pretty good job. 
First on our list of activities was to finally take Kevin out on a river/lake architecture tour since Chicago self proclaims itself to be the architecture capital of the world.  I got to go last summer when with some wonderful girlfriends (he left me then too). 
I think I have a dozen pictures of each building in Chicago, but who wants to see those when you could see us!

We were just waiting in the locks to head out onto Lake Michigan.
 It was a beautiful clear day, and we don't get many of those.  I would love one right now!

Kevin was LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVING the trip and just lounging on the boat deck.
There is our skyline. What a great city. We will miss it.


Then, we had to see if we could get tickets to another Cubs game.  I love Wrigley Field. 

Kevin in the "bartman" seat. Actually, they removed it because of its bad luck, but this is the same row.   I will have to watch the ESPN special tomorrow about him "Catching Hell"

Love that old-school scoreboard.  All movable parts!


We also got to spend some time out at the beach, going on picnics at the lake, shopping, museum trips, road trips, and a ton of bike rides.  We attended the BYU season opener at Ole Miss (check back soon for that post).   I highly recommend keeping your husbands around. They are a lot of fun.  I am so happy he is back! We have literally been out and having so much fun trying to take in all Chicago has to offer. Kevin started his final year of law school today and so our time in Chicago may be limited. We have really loved it here and I will be sad when it is time to go. 
I'll leave you with one last shot of Kevin's cute bum (he's gonna kill me!)
