We’re here in Chicago! I mean – Naperville!
We’re in a house that is definitely the biggest I’ve ever stayed in. Jess and I were given the “master bedroom” of this very giving family, The Swansons.
We met Paul & Susan yesterday when we arrived, as well as two of their three daughters. It is obvious that my sister, their live-in nanny, is VERY loved by this family – and the love she has for their family is absolutely genuine as well.
The family has done everything in their power to ensure that we make ourselves at home here – and boy am I relaxed. The Swansons left yesterday soon after we arrived to go on a vacation of their own to Atlanta – so this Sheets family has truly taken over! My Mom and Dad arrived around 9PM last night and we enjoyed a Sherilyn-made dinner and some “family time” watching Surivor that we taped to enjoy when they arrived.
Yesterday evening, before Mom and Dad arrived, Sherilyn took us to a local pizza-joint where we enjoyed the best Chicago-style deep-dish pizza I’ve ever had. This afternoon our plans include exploring Naperville and all its historic-glory. We’ll head to the River Walk and enjoy window-shopping and coffee-sipping.
We head back to Warsaw as a 2-vehicle caravan tomorrow morning.
Thank you, thank you, thank you….for the update. I am so happy that you all have this wonderful time together. I can just imagine all the attention that Miss Ella is receiving.
Naperville is just about one of the neatest suburbs of Chicago. Sher, I am jealous, you have a neat place to live. Glad to hear you are with a great family and Jess and Stev and Ella are close enough to visit occasionally. If I make my way, and hopefully soon to Chicago, I will look you up. Rita Z
