Chicago - It's our Kind of Town!

Most of you know we're planning to do a team church plant with Will and Rachel P. in the Bucktown/Wicker Park area of Chicago. The area is an artsy, up-and-coming area that desperately needs God's fame to be proclaimed! There are countless details still in the works, but we are making progress. Here are a few pictures of the kids from our Labor Day trip (taken by our then resident photographer Joy M.). Lord willing, we'll be making another trip there next week.

You can't walk behind Stelly w/o her thinking you're chasing her!

Poor Haddon and Stelly both got sick during the trip. Here Haddon is running a fever and not feeling well at all, but is still as cute as can be!

Hee, hee! Do you think I should put the dancing clip back up there? I know that 99% of the people that check out my blog would find it hilarious...it's just that other 1% I was thinking about. I loved it...we'll see. Maybe it will make another appearance! I don't know if you know how or not, but it is really easy to put videos on your blog. I just did it through www.dropshots.com. Excited to hear about the progress with the church plant. Keep us all updated.

Chicago! Isn't it exciting to anticipate what God has in store for you guys? Hope you make even more progress with your upcoming trip. Hope you get to walk around downtown, too...I think Chicago is the best in the fall! -Jessica.
