Some of you have asked about where we live. This is our building...we are on the second floor. The building is 106 years old and has some great charm like original hardwoods floors, a claw foot tub, and original radiator heat. We do miss some more "modern"
conveniences like central air (thus the picture of the window air conditioning unit that we have yet to remove) and no garbage disposal (the pipes can't handle it). But all in all, it's a great little place.
This is our street. It's a beautiful residential area in Lincoln Park.
Emma wanted me to include a picture of her new dance moves. :)
My sweet cousin
Lerin (or
Laaron as Tim once spelled it) was here over the weekend and so of course Emma had to show her our favorite place...the zoo! Emma convinced me it would be a good idea for her to wear her
Halloween monkey
costume. Here she is looking at the Gibbon monkeys. It was hilarious...after I took this shot, the monkey you see in the back ground actually came right to the window and literally smashed his body against the window next to her face. I so wish I would have been able to get a shot of that.
Here is a picture of us all at Chicago's main brewery, Goose Island. Emma had just consumed her very first Shirley Temple and was totally jacked up on sugar for this picture. She kept pretending to be a goose (they have geese all over the brewery) and spent the next hour flying and honking. Don't think we'll be giving her another Shirley Temple for a while.
Trick or treat everyone! Here's our adorable little monkey.
Emma's scary face, which included shutting her eyes for some reason.
Emma wanted to up to the first house all by herself. When did she get this big and brave????
Isn't this pic too cute? Trying on my glasses.
Here she's getting ready to go on a bike ride. It's already in the 40's (those would the highs people in North Carolina) and although Emma complains about the cold, it hasn't stopped her from going outside yet. It has me though. This bike ride was a "Daddy Daughter" thing. :)
