More Visitors!

My cousin, Jenny, and her husband, Rick, came to visit us this weekend. We had a blast! Rick had never been here, so even though it was bitterly cold, we walked down Michigan Ave. and of course had to go shopping:)

You can tell we're really cold! I love this picture though! It captured the moment really well. We were standing on Michigan before walking over the river just having fun together:)

We of course had to show Rick "The Bean." This is a very large "bean" shaped metal structure in Millenium Park that reflects the skyline really well! Here's Jenny and Rick in front of it.

And here's our reflection in the bean:) We look kind of scary!

After visiting "The Bean" and the Towers with the faces on them, we took pictures together in the park.

As you can see, they are newly married too:) They got married 2 weeks after Jake and I! I love this picture!

What a cute couple.

I am so thankful to have a cousin like Jenny. We have been friends since birth and it was SO fun to have her in town. I've really missed her! Love you Jenny! And you too Rick ;)

A Great Weekend

Max and Rita came to visit us last weekend. We had such a wonderful time with them! Friday we went out for dinner. Saturday we went to Ikea and then had supper at our place. We also went to Target and Chinatown! And Sunday they came to church with us! 

Moody does this great thing and lets parents of students stay in their extra apartments, if they don't have any pastors or missionaries staying there. So, Max and Rita were able to stay in the same building as us! It was great!

I told Max that he would get Continental Breakfast at the Hering's Apartment on Saturday morning. :) So, we had Pancakes, eggs, bacon and lattes (made by Java Jake). Here's a picture of me making the breakfast.

Sorry some of the pictures are blue, there was a setting wrong on the camera:(

Here's us ready to eat our breakfast, of course Jake's being goofy for the picture.

Saturday, we went to Ikea out in the suburbs. It was truly a field trip! We shopped in Ikea forever! It's huge! We ended up buying a book shelf  and ice cube trays! :) Here's Jake putting the book shelf together, what a man:)

Max took this picture of us. I really like it! Thanks Max!

We didn't get any pictures with Max and Rita, I was so bummed when I realized that. I guess its hard to set the timer and take a picture of all of us:) Hope you enjoyed the few pictures we did get! We really had a great time!
