We made a couple of great trips downtown this summer. Cubs games, Aquarium, Beach, China Town, etc.... All were fun. But as each day of the summer passed, the excitement increased. Not because we love the onset of winter - OH NO, not me! The excitement of knowing that at the end of the summer, not too long into Fall, we would be going to China to get Danielle!! The time is quickly approaching and the fun events of the summer are now fading into the more exciting events coming up in China and being home with Danielle.
