A Visit From the Kijanko's

Josh & Nikki came to see us last weekend...we had such a great time together, but sad to admit we don't have any pictures to document their trip :( We crammed a lot in in a short amount of time, but as always, the time went way to fast. They arrived last Friday night and we just stayed up talking until pretty late.

We met up with some of their other friends who live in town at a yummy breakfast joint. Later that afternoon Dave and Josh went to an air show at the air force base (as Dave put it, it was the two of them and a bunch of Dad's with little kids...Dave is kind of a kid himself when it comes to aircraft ;-) ) while Nikki and I came back to the house to nap - as did Will. We had arranged for a babysitter that night to stay with Will so the 4 of us could go out. We went to our favorite restaurant (Mark's, once again, in Old Dundee) and enjoyed dining outside. We then walked down the street to the local homemade creamery to get ice cream - yum!

Sunday morning we went to church and as you might have guessed, went out for lunch...we ate a lot of good food last weekend ;-) The guys returned the favor by taking Will home for his nap so Nikki and I could go shopping. They took off Sunday evening to head home.

Nikki is pregnant and due early January...she's got the cutest little belly and I got to feel their little guy, Kolton move...that never gets old!! So, as I mentioned, we don't have pics to share from last weekend, but here's one from when Dave and I went to visit them in St. Louis in July last year when I was pregnant. Why is this relevant, you ask? This photo was taken after we purchased some fresh produce at a farmer's market and Nikki stuck a watermelon under her shirt to compare our bellies. Picture her with a bump about 1/4 the size of that watermelon - oh, and I guess her belly is more round, not oblong ;-)
