Trinity Weekend

Last weekend Troy, Gracie and I headed to Chicago for a long weekend.  We got in super late but the drive went well.  Friday, morning a took stroll thru my alma mater, Trinity (TIU), and that although most of the campus has changed significantly some of it was still the same.  I also did not feel so bad the about the years between my visits when I found that most people that are 45 minutes to an hour had been there for years either.  Life is busy no matter where you are.  Friday, had lunch with my friend Lisa, spent some time with the Long Family and then headed the the Hoesch's.  Saturday, I met up with my girls from the college days, Julie, Lily and there families for lunch & then headed to the game.  Although, I did not watch much of the game we had a great time letting the kids play and the girls got to catch up. Malone had a the victory over Trinity and I was glad to see Malone put another win on the board.

While in Chicago we stayed with the Hoesch's, one of Troy very 

good friends from College.  It was very nice to be able to spend 

time with them.  Haley & Gracie seemed to have blast playing 

together.  Gracie took her first double bath Saturday night 

with Haley.  She loved.  I think she thought is was the best 

thing ever.  She really does need a sister.

Haley & Gracie

Gracie is such a ham I am not sure Haley knew what to think.
