Visit to Yia-Yia's in September
Quinn and Mommy had a lot of fun visiting Yia-Yia on September 24th for a long weekend.
The trip out was great despite a 30 minute delay. Quinn was able to have his own seat and kept everyone around us entertained with his giggles and squeals while we waited to take off. Once we were up in the air he fell asleep and slept the entire flight. Yia-Yia and Jimmy were waiting for us once we landed. We got the car all packed up and headed over to see Chris' new place in the city. We were impressed, he's got a great place (especially compared to the fixer-upper Quinn and I saw when he was still shopping :) and has done a great job decorating. When we finally got to Yia-Yia's there were toys waiting for Quinn and some of my favorite Greek foods (thanks Thia-Roy!).
The next day we did some shopping (Yia-Yia never misses an opportunity to spoil Quinn!) and then went up to Maryann's in the afternoon. We had a great afternoon hanging out with Yia-Yia, Jimmy, Maryann, Margaret, (little) Jimmy, Christina, and Johnny. Margaret took Quinn for his first ride down the slide - it looked like fun but he got a little scared and started crying. And (little) Jimmy setup the baby swing for Quinn which he really enjoyed. Later, Chris, Maria, Penelope, Katie, Jane, and Lewis joined us for dinner. Unfortunately Christopher wasn't feeling well and couldn't come - we really missed not seeing him! After dinner Fotini and Mark got home from the Iowa game. Even though she was exhausted from the trip, Fotini found Quinn and cuddled up with him for the rest of the night. It's so great seeing the kids I love and have watched grow-up show give so much love and attention to my son.
On Sunday we slept in then did some more shopping (this time I got spoiled too!). We had an early dinner before Jimmy had to go back down to U of I. After dinner we headed back into Chicago to visit Katie's new place. Wow - it's awesome. It's a beautiful old building that's been restored. It has the original crown molding and the rooms are painted really cool colors. Quinn even decided to give it a christening (and Katie didn't even get mad)!
The pictures from our trip have been uploaded into Quinn's photo album: http://quinnpeterson.com/gallery/YiaYia9-24to9-27
I thought we took some pictures at Chris' place - maybe they're on his or Jimmy's camera? If so, can one of you upload them? Thanks!
