T&T's move in Chicago 8-11

I went to Chicago to help care for Emma while Tara & Tim moved to another apartment on the other side of Oz Park in Lincoln Park.  We got up early on "move day" to take our personal belongings over to the new place before the movers came, then went to McD's for breakfast.  Everyone walks "everywhere" in Chicago!!

Walked back over to bring the guys pizza for lunch and see how far they had gotten. Emma couldn't believe that all their "stuff" was on the front sidewalk at the old place : }

 Showing off the living room at the new place before ALL the boxes arrive.  This place has so much natural light coming through ALL the windows allowing the sun to shine right in.  Such a HAPPY HOME!!  : }

Kitchen going into the storage room that allows you to pass through to another deck area.

Emma took the pics of me...pretty good!

Emma's new bedroom that has 3 huge windows and enough room to hold her bed, school desk and all her "stuff".  This child has a lot of STUFF!!  : }   Such a HAPPY room!
                                   
                                    


The back deck going into the kitchen

I was coming out of the kitchen onto the deck to kill wasps, and this view caught my eye.  I loved it and it made me think that no matter where you go, He is right there!

T got to spend the day with Emma and me instead of helping with the initial packing of the truck.  We visited 2 parks, had lunch at a Mexican place and ice cream at Mandi B's.  We were exhausted!!  : }

I love these statues in Oz Park.  There is also one of Dorothy and Toto

 Mandi B's ice cream parlor - Oprah's favorite : }
