Daddy's finally home!

After a VERY long week, of playing doctor, taxi, counselor, tutor, chef, coach, maid, garbage technician, ...etc.) all by myself, it was so nice to get my best friend back! He had a hard work week mixed with fun evenings. He enjoyed seeing the sights around Chicago, caught a movie, went to the famous Harry Caray's steakhouse, and even dodged his first Tornado! Ok, maybe there wasn't one that actually touched down, but he was on the "Navy Pier" in Chicago when the loud sirens went off, (the same one that evacuated Wrigley Field) Monday night. He said that Police men had to escort them all off the pier and into some type of shopping mall area. He said it was just sprinkling when they put him into this building and locked the doors, but within minutes the building was flooded with 4 inches of water and the winds outside were crazy! He made fun of Arizona Monsoon winds compared to this! I would have been freaked out of my mind, but he was just on the phone with me trying to pick out Souvenir's for the kids!!! He was mad because the whole ordeal lasted about an hour and a half and he was about a mile and a half from his hotel! We had fun later that night, me on my laptop, he in his hotel, watching the huge cell move east above Chicago! He got some super sweet lightning shots too!
His flight was delayed, so we picked him up around 8pm! The kids had a blast opening their gifts from dad, and we all had fun trying on the Harry Caray glasses he brought home! Seattle and Madison didn't get to show off their gifts, but Seattle had the cutest teddy bear that says "chicago princess" and Madison got a Chicago Tee!





Yeah, I know, some serious powder was necessary here, but in my defense it was muggy outside! I told Phil I only wanted a crossword puzzle for my present, so he got me one! ( I really do love crossword puzzles!)
