thursday night amtrak offload

micah had to work gourmet chicago again this year. he asked gramee to come up and babysit. SHE DID! big feat for linda- we are so proud of her!!! (sorry linda- we REALLY are so happy you came!) she rode the train up and left butch at home. (that part was bittersweet. I'm sure he enjoyed the quiet weekend but I know he missed his littlest grandson.) we met gramee at the train station on thursday night, where, one of the conductors let emmit try on his hat. (now emmit wants to be a "policeman.") gramee kept emmit home on friday (cupcake day) and then, on saturday, had a picnic in the park with our neighbor, grace, for 3 hours!  sunday, I joined them for brunch prior to heading off to the park followed by a costco warehouse trip all before, finally, visiting micah in millenium park. great. weekend. (as said by mommy and emmit)
