The Boys Are Back In Town

The house is full again! Brad, Mary, and I drove to O'Hare last night to pick up the boys. Both of their flights arrived early, so it was easy. Mary was so happy to see her brothers! On the way home we stopped at Panda Express for dinner at the Lake Forest Oasis -- a request of all three kids! They are nothing if not gourmet eaters. (haha) On the way down to the airport, Brad, Mary, and I had a fun shopping trip at Mitsuwa Marketplace. It's a Japanese grocery store chain in Arlington Heights, which is just a few miles from the airport. The only other locations for this store are in New Jersey or California. For Mary and Brad, it was a trip down memory lane. (For me too, but I'd been there before and they hadn't.) We stocked up on some old favorites and tried some new things. Mary was so excited to have some new and crazy Japanese drinks waiting for the boys in the car when we picked them up. So now that we're all home, we're looking forward to a nice weekend together.
