Chrismas in Chicago

Over the weekend we had the pleasure of spending time with our children, Erika, Richard, Dee and Teddy. So often when we go to Chicago around Christmas time we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of shopping the Miracle Miles and pushing it to the limits. We did a little of that this year but did a lot of our shopping in advance.

This year we spent the majority of our time indoors and just enjoying one another as a family. It is nice to see your children become thoughtful and well rounded adults. It is also nice to know that your children enjoy being around you and sharing things with you. Dee is becoming quite the young man with a lot more insight and understanding than I have given him credit for. Erika and Richard are exceptional parents and Teddy is growing in statue and in intellect. We call him the little professor. Claudette is for ever the set designer who creates the environment for our memories to evolve and become real. And me, I am just the recipient of so much love and gratitude to enjoy another Holiday season with my family.

Claudette always says that "Love is the basis for anything good".
