Firstly, I apologize for posting a day late. Yesterday, Lindsey's grandpa graduated from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology with a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology. The ceremony itself was held at The Civic Opera House on LaSalle Street. Absolutely beautiful theatre. Their guest speaker, Joe Mantegna, is an actor (and Chicago native) and has appeared in films such as Baby's Day Out, The Godfather III, The Simpson's as "Fat Tony" (and a whole bunch of others that I haven't seen) but is also on the show Criminal minds, and spoke about his experiences with Forensic Psychology while also throwing in some funny anecdotes. Very funny speech.
While William and I spent a wonderful day in downtown Chi-town, Lindsey spent the day with Grandma Bower. It really would have been a verrrrryyyyyy long day for her to just sit and watch, or sit in a car, or walk long Chicago blocks. I know she had a very fun day with Grandma, which included a lot of outside time, playing with Auntie Julie and Uncle Jesse, and her first Relay for Life with them! She even got to walk the track several times with Grandma and Auntie and Uncle. Very busy Friday the 13th for everyone.
William mid morning--pre-lunch at Portillo's Restaurant. Afterwards he said he had the best hot dog ever!!
