Big Shoulders Ball

Craig and I went to the Big Shoulders Gala.  They raised a lot of money for the charity so it was nice to be a part of it.  

Grayson & Liam ~ September Photos

We had a fun September with the boys.  Craig's friend gave us tickets to the Cubs game so we took the boys out of school early on Friday and went to the game.  It was a little cold, but we had a great time.  We went to the Sergi benefit for Nick in Wisconsin.  It was great seeing everyone, but always such a hard time.  Our au pair Jaz is always sending pictures of the boys at the park after school, which they love.  One night during Grayson's football practice Craig and Liam left and found a burger place and had dinner.  Another night Liam had a high temperature and was not feeling well.  They've had a lot of colds since school started.  I took some funny pictures of the boys sleeping in our room with Liam's mouth open, Grayson's mouth and Liam in our bathtub taking a bubble bath.  These boys are the best and we are so lucky to call them ours!

Our 18th Anniversary

We celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary at Adalina.  Our friend Dave is friend's with one of the owners so we got free appetizers, champaign, dessert and a great table.  I was not feeling the best so it was a quick dinner and we went home.  I can't believe it's been 18 years.  Time flies!  We've made so many amazing memories over the years and I can't wait to see what the next 18 years bring.  

Beurskens Family Girls Weekend

We had our 14th annual girls weekend in Chicago.  The first night we ordered food, played chicken foot, talked all night and drank lots of wine.  We also celebrated Mary's 70th birthday with a cake from Sweet Mandy B's.  The next day we went to Willis Tower and went on the sky deck and then had appetizers and drinks at The Metropolitan Club, then went to Giordano's for lunch.  Craig met us for lunch and we had so much food we were in a food coma.  ha!  Afterwards we had drinks at Nobu and then dinner at Riccardo Osteria.  Of course we played chicken foot when we got home.  The next day we had brunch at Hampton Social then went on the architecture boat tour followed by dinner at Frontera Grill.  We had the best weekend catching up and playing chicken foot and yahtzee.  I made gift bags for the ladies with cozy socks that said if you can read this get me wine and a shirt that said Apparently we're trouble when we're together Girl's Weekend 2022.  I also made photo collages of old family photos.  It was fun reliving the memories. We decided on the next year's destination and it will definitely be a great time.  We can't wait for New Orelans.
