the last of Chicago & family photos

now that we're settled in Colorado, I have a whole lot to catch up on. as usual, lots of photos with few words. it's the only way I'll ever get around to posting. 

first, some family photos taken in June by our friend-photographer Amy Jo Royall. taken in Lincoln Park. 

the rest of these are not even in chronological order, but I'll provide some descriptions. 

park date with Lincoln (best friend/neighbor). she misses him dearly. it breaks my heart to hear her talk about or ask to play with him.

taken by grandpa when they watched Clara for us

lots of visitors! first Brooke.

then Dustin's parents came for his graduation dinner

we finally made it to the Chicago temple

and had an all-night date downtown...

saying goodbye to Linc

last photo taken in Chicago, on our way out

and one last visit to our fire-station

Clara's first dental visit 

Dustin and I took a weekend trip to Colorado Springs to find a house to rent. My parents stayed with Clara in Chicago. It was our first time apart and she did so well. Except she wanted nothing to do with me upon my return. 

first of many visits to Garden of the Gods

and we'll finish with this one- Dustin's last visit to the children's museum...

Chicago, we miss you. Sort of. :)
