Move to Chicago

The family and I arrived last Monday (22) to Chicago.   Tanya's sister, Monica, also flew in that day from Mexico.  It was really great having her with us in Chicago.   I hope that she returns for another visit very soon.   I felt bad that we did not do a lot of sightseeing due to the move.   We did try to make the best of the situation and show her the highlights of Chicago during her stay.

I begin my first CLS assignment this coming Monday (29).
