Saturday morning we started the day off early. Jackie and I got into our wedding dresses and then headed downtown Chicago to have our pictures taken by Aleks, a Los Angeles based photographer. She was wanting to do a Trash the Dress session while she was in Chicago. We met her at a CTA stop and took pictures on the platform. Then we moved to a near by alley with some neat architural features. We had a great time. Once I get to see some of the pictures next week I will be sure to post them.
When we got home, we had a quick lunch. Adam and Taryn arrived soon after and Jackie and Alex went back home. We had a great visit with the Volbrechts. Taryn is due in a month and we are very excited. We went out to dinner to a restaurant in Joliet called The Department. For desert we came back here and tried my cheesecake. It wasn't as good as I had hoped, but everyone else loved it. Adam and Taryn left mid morning.
Rick and I took a 14 mile bike ride this afternoon and then I did some grocery shopping after I watched the Cubs win! Overall, it was a great weekend!

Alex's birthday balloons are still floating and he is loving chasing it and cathing it before it goes to the ceiling!

While Jackie and I were gone, Pa came over to visit with Alex and Uncle Ricky!
Rick says this is what took place most of the visit!
Playing Tic-Tac-Toe (Easter gift from Grandma Carlo)
Alex was able to convince Pa to give him about 4 popsicles in the 2 hours he was visiting.
