It seems like we've had so few opportunities to spend with family in the past few years. But for the last few days we've had the privilege of having my sister and her family stay with us here in Chicago. They said that they came to visit the Brazilian consulate and a school south of Chicago, but I like to think that they came to spend time in the girls' dorm. One of the greatest things is that we've got to spend time with our nephew Sam Jr.. It has been a blast getting to know the little guy. He has got to be on
e of the most ridiculously, jovial children I've come across, but of course, who wouldn't laugh their head off if they had an uncle like me. A few notes to make about their visit:1. We ate some of the best pizza in town.
2. We played Killer Bunnies.
3. We visited a new church, which we incidentally loved and plan on going back (this is good news if you are familiar with our woes of finding a ch
urch).4. We drank a lot of Starbucks.
5. Sam and I had hours of discussion on theology, church, and Christianity, which I'm pretty sure was a ton-o-fun for both of us.
6. We ate Thai food, which didn't give us diarrhea. Sam Jr. didn't have the Thai food but had diarrhea all the way up to his chubby, little shoulders and had to have a bath in our kitchen sink.

i am delighted you guys found a church that you want to go back to. i am even more delighted that it's called "church of wrigleyville".
Your beard is flowing! I am sure you heard that Matt Mayse and I went to game 4 of the World Series only to be rained out. I am glad your team won, although I was hoping that the entire team world be struck by lightning. If you come back into town I want to make you some of my beef stew. I have a new recipe and it rocks!
We had a wonderful weekend! It was great to be able to spend some time with the two of you and Sam Jr. loved getting to know his aunt and uncle better! We love you guys and can't wait for our next visit! Thank you for everything!
