Friday night, Katie and I headed out to the suburbs to visit my sister (Jill) and her husband (Rob) and the cutest baby in the world, as aforementioned. This was my second Metra experience and...wow. What a mess. You have to wait in a huge line for tickets - they can not be printed online and they don't have kiosks for purchasing. It's like 1950 in Union Station. Katie and I (read: impatient) just opted to pay $3 more to purchase on the train - which I swear is the reason why they make it a pain to get the tickets. We immediately unload our bags, start chatting and get shushed by the lady in front of us because we were in the quiet car. Of course we moved....there's no way we were could be quiet if we tried.
Jill and Rob were there to see Rob's extended family and upon arrival, we were greeted by many relatives and HOMEADE PIZZA. I'm pretty sure I ate 10 pieces....I'm going to say it's in celebration of Annabelle's rapid weight gain since that baby is HUGE: 3 months and 15 POUNDS. She's pretty and gigantic.
Katie, Jill, Annabelle and I also took some family pictures but since I'm new to the Ipad movement, only pieces of us made the photo.
It was so nice to see family - one huge advantage to living here is I'm much closer to my sister and parents. And the cutest niece in the world.
She is adorable! Glad you get to see family more often...that's great!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you and Kate made it out to see us...it was so much fun! Still sinking in that yet another person I love is now living in Chicago. I'm going to have to start coming out for weeks at a time now. So happy we live close enough to come in whenever we get the chance. Love you girls!
