Chicagoland Trip!

What a great, full weekend we had! We have been wanting to head up to Chicagoland since Elijah was born because there are just so many people there to love him! We were waiting until Mason Brooke was born (Kirk's roommate from college, Jeff's son) and wanting to give them a few weeks before we overwhelmed them with our presence.  So, we chose this weekend and got to see so many people and introduced Elijah to a lot of important people.  Unfortunately, I neglected to take a few pictures of some people, but here is what I did get :).


I did not get any pictures of Uncle Keith and Aunt Teresa with Elijah, but I did get one of Tim, their son-in-law with him.  I guess I just feel a connection to the other in-law in the family!! We were especially happy that Tim and his wife Kim could meet Elijah because they are moving to the Philippines in July to teach!
On Saturday afternoon we got the chance to introduce Elijah to his Great Grandpa Duncan! Grandpa was so happy to meet him and we had a really nice time hanging out with him for a few hours.  He was very proud of Elijah and showed him off to the other residents in his building!
Elijah really enjoyed sitting with Great Grandpa for a while.
It was so cute watching Elijah stare at Grandpa.  He was so intrigued by him!


On Saturday evening we headed over to the Brookes and got to meet their new little guy Mason! He is just four weeks old  and Kirk and I were bursting at the seams to visit with the new (and improved!) Brooke family.  We are so excited to have sons so close in age.  Mason is so sweet.  He is a very expressive little guy and makes all kinds of cute faces and noises.  Congrats, Jeff and Rach...he is a precious little man!

Mason looks just like his daddy!
