Illinois vacation recap

---

Let's see if I can re-cap one month of vacation is one paragraph!

We had a wonderful time visiting our families and friends in Illinois. Most of our time was spent in Elburn with my family. Lelah and her cousin Hunter played and faught with passion until the moment we left. Both now miss each other a lot. Another special treat was our newest nephew Max. He is such a delight and we miss him so much. Jon's family is doing well and we were so blessed to spend time with them, mainly helping Jon's sis Becky fix up her kitchen and vacation in Wisconsin. Lelah and her cousin Isaac were two peas in a pod. I'm going to let the pics do the talking and save our stressful and amazing trip home for another blog.

We're home so give us a call if you can!

Love,
Jon, Melissa and Lelah
