We have a full schedule of visitors and family coming to stay with us this fall. We have put out the welcome mat, and we are keeping the guest bed ready.
Grandpa Utah was the first of many guests. Grandpa came to Chicago on business and spent a bonus day with us. Alli was so happy to see him. Ruby was shy at first. Grandpa was amused that Ruby was so friendly with unfamiliar dogs, yet she was shy with Grandpa. By the time he left, she was sitting in his lap and playing with him.
As soon as Grandpa Utah left, Jen arrived from New York. She was here for a gorgeous, warm Chicago weekend. Jen watched Alli and Ruby so Andy and I could go out. We took her to a festival at the zoo and to the Navy Pier. She played ponies, Memory, and dress-up with Alli and Ruby. They love their Aunt Jen. Alli keeps reminding me that she has never been to Jen's house in New York. I think she is planning a trip.
Before Thanksgiving we are expecting at least seven more guests (not all at the same time). The Nicoll Hotel is cheap... yet very exclusive. :)

I am really glad Jen came. I know that Alli wanted to play dress-up with Grandpa Utah, but somehow that did not ever happen. Jen was a good substitute. But it looks like Grandpa Utah will be around next week, so with a little luck next weeks blog should have a nice picture of two beautiful ballerinas.
