Winter in the Midwest

Thanksgiving in Chicago. Our first trip and it was COLD. Bitter COLD. No snow yet though. We had a great time with the Kolenda Family. It's going to become a tradition - we are heading back there for Thanksgiving again this year. Plus, Suzanne + Allison will be joining us. Good times!

We had a good amount of snow in Bloomington 09-10 winter. Sebastian and I spent all of December and some of January in Houston so we missed a lot of the storms. I was impressed with the snow plows, the snow would hit and they would start their work. Our little Texas cars and lack of snow driving experience didn't keep us grounded.

More Chicago! During our first trip I made Felipe take us to see Oprah! We didn't exactly watch a show (she was off) but it was great to see Harpo Studios. I've been a fan since I was 16. The studio is a lot smaller than I though and it's a few minutes outside of downtown. The area has been built up recently and is surrounded by cute condos, restaurants and shops. Wonder what they will do with Harpo Studios when the show ends??

The second picture was taken downtown Chicago during our trip in March. It was still VERY COLD. Look at the picture and stick your head in the freezer. Ok, now you know how we felt. =)
