One Big Happy Family

I'm glad to report that we are finally one big happy family again. Inna returned from her stint in Mexico City over the weekend. It turns out to have been a very good experience for her even with all the shortcomings and problems associated with being a tourist in a place like Mexico City. Interestingly, she was the only one in her group not to succumb to Montezuma's Revenge and ironically, she found the smoggy air of the capital a breath of fresh air compared to the allergy-inducing stuff she's forced to breathe in Chicago every day.

As for Danny. The lad has recovered from what turned out to simply be a virus of some sort. Still, after having to take him back to the doctor last Tuesday where I was forced to hold him down while they drew more blood and catheterized him ... twice, I felt like a terrible father. I was in pain, never mind what he must have gone through. All the tests came back completely normal; a huge relief for us all.

And finally; I sincerely hope I'm not talking about this too soon, but things are moving ahead with the new home. We finally found a place that transitioned beyond the inspection and appears to be moving full steam ahead towards the closing which should take place on July 25th. Definitely a step up from where we are now and we're looking forward to hosting all of you at some point when you decide to visit us in Chicago ;-)
