Well, here we are on our last day of our five concerts in Chicago. What an amazing time it has been. Tonight we will be at St Norbert Parish in Northbrook, then on to our last show of the Emmanuel tour in Matthew's hometown of Kokomo, Indiana on Monday evening.

I especially want to thank the Croation Community in Chicago, they made me feel so welcome-- especially Father Jozo who let our entourage take over his household. I am grateful also to the large numbers of Croatians who turned out-- and helped make my mom feel right at home.

Last night was a magical concert. The church was beautiful, the audience was wonderful, and when we walked out, there was a blanket of fresh snow waiting for us. A beautiful Christmas memory of Chicago!
