Met New Nephew Szymon...

On Wednesday, July 22nd, Kevin, Gabriella, and I drove down for the night to Springfield to visit my older sister, Danuta, who had a newborn son named Szymon L. Dynda. Szymon was born on Friday July 17th. Once we arrived we met our Nephew/Cousin Szymon for the first time. He was so cute and so small and is still handsome but grew big already! I forgot how small a baby was when I held Gabriella. We spent time with them. Gabby loved to play with her cousin Tomasz. We helped Danuta with whatever she needed us to do, and we especially loved to hold Szymon and spend time with him.

The next day, we visited them again after staying at a hotel for the night. We helped them around a little and checked whatever Danuta needed from us before we headed up to Peoria for the weekend. The reason we headed up to see my parents was to celebrate my mom's birthday on July 24th.

We had a great time in Springfield, especially seeing Szymon, and visiting family in Peoria before heading back home to Bolingbrook.
