Sunday in the Park

Image TitleEvery now and then we need to get out of Chicago. Don't get me wrong- its a fantastic city, and we really enjoy living here, but sometimes it's necessary to leave the honking horns and throngs of people behind and enjoy some peace and quiet. This summer we discovered the Chicago Botanic Garden and it has become a favorite Sunday afternoon destination for our family. The place is big enough that we can stroll around and admire the gorgeous flowers with other people or meander down some path and listen to the birds chirping and leaves rustling. Ah, we must be getting old....

Another Milestone

Brendan reached another milestone this afternoon- we're proud to announce that he can sit-up unassisted! He's still working on the balancing bit (Read: he does still occasionally fall over face first) but that will come with more practice. In other news there is a new tooth poking through which means that he has been even droolier than usual. (sniff) Our little boy is growing up so fast.

Back from Vacation

Back from Vacation We're back! We had quite an excting month travelling out to the East Coast. Brendan did surprisingly well on the 16 hour drive from Chicago to NY- he actually slept most of the way. He met his extended family in NY when Grandma Toon threw a Red Egg party for him where he got to wear this cute little Chinese outfit. Since then we have called him the Little Emperor (and it may be going to his head). During our trip we also spent some time visiting friends and family in Boston and took in a few Red Sox games. Finally we spent time relaxing in CT- hiking and checking out real estate. We had such a wonderful vacation and it was so nice to see our families. Alas, now we are back in Chicago and back to the daily routine, but we have lots of great pictures to remember our trip.
