The Windy City.

My mom, my sister Emily, and I all took a trip to Chicago to see my brother David and his family who are living there while David is in podiatry school. We had the best time! No kids were allowed... only babies! Emily has Abigail (8m), I brought June (8m) and David has Addie (6m). The girls were awesome, they loved rolling around on the floor together and we just drug them from place to place and they did not mind it one bit.
These pictures crack me up! So my mom wanted a "kids shot" at the Botanical Gardens so we smiled nicely for the first picture. Then, I tried to pull David's shirt down to show off his manly hairs. He was all squirmy and embarrassed. Well, looks like the joke was really on me, check out the SERIOUS double chin!

We had so many photo sessions with the babies. I love this picture above, it totally looks like Addie and June are holding hands.
How cute are they? Splashing in the tub together and chewing on their foamy letters.

My favorite day by far was taking the train into the city. We got up early, dressed the girls like triplets (many asked if they were), and we loaded onto the train for a 1 hour ride to Chicago. It was awesome visiting with the people on the train and just getting the full Chicago experience.




The Bean. (David was our photographer for the week. He has a sweet camera and some mean editing skills. Thanks Ding-Dong!)

Between shopping, eating, and seeing all the sites we probably walked over 5 miles.

This place had the best pizza EVER! As David described it, "Each bite has a thick layer of cheese on it, it's like you are biting into a big piece of melted string cheese."

Our "hosts," the Graham's, at the Jelly Belly factory tour.

The fun had to eventually come to an end and the girls were not happy about it... it's so hard to say goodbye!

Chicago looks like so much fun. It's on my list of places to go for sure!

I'm so glad you have a blog. Its so fun to look at all your pictures and see what you've been up to these past 7+ years!

I actually wondered if you kept in touch with Desiree! I'll have to check out her blog.

You look just the same...so beautiful! And I can't believe how many "babies" are in your family! Crazy I'm sure, but so neat!

I am jealous because I love Chicago so much but I am most jealous you got to go to Giordano's. Kevin and I LOVE that place. Everytime we go to Chi-town we go there like once a day. My sis was out there for the USC/Notre Dame game and brought us back a frozen pizza. It was delicious but not as good as being there.

What a great trip!! I often lament that all the Terrill cousins can't spend more time together!!

Maybe the girls can all room together at BYU in a few years!!

Your babies are so adorable!!! How fun to have those cousins so close in age. They really do look like triplets. I really need to see you guys sometime. Tell all your family I said hi and that I miss you all.
