This week has been another busy one. We spent the first part of the week in Bourbonnais visiting with parents and grandparents. We stayed out at the Simmon's house and got to spend an afternoon relaxing there. I took a nap in the hammock, it was bliss. We also had a barbacue at the Billadeau's with burgers, brats, beers, and swimming. On Monday we had a wonderful lunch at the country club with Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Strand. That night we went to Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Serve's house for dinner. It was Jia's birthday on Wednesday and Grandma baked her a cake and we she opened presents. Grant and I got her a "band in a bucket" with several instruments in it. She loved it because she can now hear the music!

We have decided to buy another condo unit in the building we live in now. Our neighbor is moving out of the country and we were able to make a deal with him before he put his unit on the market. His unit is almost the same as the one we are in now, but it is a little bigger. He has the unfinished basement space below his unit that he has not started work on yet, so once we close we will begin the renovation project. We are excited to get started!
