Where Life Begins and Love Never Ends!

July 3rd

We took the Train into down town for the "Taste of Chicago" We ate some Yummy Food and enjoyed singing and dancing to the Steve Miller Band! Lucky Millie got to snuggle with Heath as they enjoyed the Good Tunes!

Chicago was so Alive! We Loved People watching... we had some Good Entertainment! Plenty of Teaching Moments: Like, You will never do that will you?
Or Promise me You will never look like that... We Loved being together and so Thankful for the lives we live, the way we have been raised and taught. I hope we can all stay away from the worldly influences and be Strong Together! We are so Lucky to have each other to Lean On and call each other BEST FRIENDS!
  
         We took a Water Taxi through the big buildings.  I Loved this building with the Huge Flag! It was an Eventful Day! Later that evening we boarded the Train and then journeyed back home. Thanks Heath for the Great Day! We LOVE YOU!
                               
                                  We are so Thankful to be living in America!

Happy 4th!!! Looks like you celebrated it up right! The food, steve Miller Band, and the water taxi's sound so much fun. The adventures you will be able to tell. We always miss you a little more on the 4th. My kids need their cousins to play with. The close up pictures are always my favorite! And the one of you and Heath is the cutest. You look beautiful and skinny winnie. WE love you all!

You have such a beautiful family! Hope you all are doing well. Just wanted to comment on your comment on my last post. That wasn't Luke coming home (although 41 days and counting!). That was Zack leaving! He left for the England Leeds Mission, which shares a border with the England Manchester Mission where Luke is serving. The England MTC happens to be in the same mission and exact city where Luke is serving, so the boys got to see each other and be companions for a day before Zack shipped out for Leeds. It was hard to say good-bye to Zack, but we are so excited for this next stage in his life. Take care--
