Showing off in Atlanta : April 30 2010

Showing off Mae's new tshirt and yes, that IS a banana on William's head... :)

SPRING in Chicago...

So why are we still wearing jackets? Oh yeah, we live in Chicago!! :) Having fun at the park and the beach nonetheless. April 20, 2010

some fun pics...

Not sure if you can tell to much from these couple of photos, but we went to Chicago to see the river dyed GREEN! It was really green too! Kind of a cold, windy day in March, but still fun to walk a little down the Magnificent Mile and view the green river. They really pull out all the stops in Chicago for St. Patty's Day!

Once warmer weather hit, we hit the road exploring outside, swinging at the park, etc.

William's favorite rock

Happy Easter from Evanston! : 2010

Easter Eve - dyeing Easter eggs...

He wants the eggs, not his mom... :)

HAPPY EASTER!

After church and brunch with our friends Cara and Brian.

enjoying the spoils of his basket!

Off to find eggs!

Yum- I think there's something in here!

A beautiful yet windy Easter Day allowed us to fly William's new kite that the Easter Bunny left him.

We also got to play in the sand.

He is not so sure about the water just yet. All in due time! :)

football golf anyone?

these galoshes are becoming a habit!

meaning, William wants to wear them all the time! :)

Taking a Walk...

It was 40 (!!!!) degrees last Sunday, so we decided to try out William's new galoshes that he had been wearing around the house a good bit. First, we tried the balcony, which worked well. Then - the hall. Then - we went for a walk. It was great to get outside! William even found a ROCK :). Actually several that he really liked!

Mastering the art of "Cheese!"

I think I see a pattern emerging! :) No matter the mood, say "Cheese!" and we get a huge smile!!

Christmas 2009

Christmas was a whirlwind!! Our visit to GA and FLA was tiring, but it was great to see everyone and hang out in some warm weather for a little while. Early Christmas with Lindy, Wyc, Aunt Kris, Uncle Dave, Caroline and Jacqueline and Uncle Robert. Then it was a brief stop in Columbus where I finally got to meet my pal Morgan Wynne and hang out with Weezie Turner, McCall Gregory, and Sally & Wynne Beck. Then.... then we rode down to Florida with Annie and Rob for Christmas with May, Gordy, Alex, Emily, Annie and Rob, MomMom and Papo. Whew! Fun.

This is the first hat William actually put on his head himself, and kept it there for more than 30 seconds!

He is showing off his new skill of sticking out his tongue!
He LOVES his new juke box! Thanks Mary and Barry!

Morgan and William


William - more concerned with shiny silver string than the presents themselves - at least for the moment.
Hugging Penny, the shitzu.
Showing off his new Air Jordans and slightly too big vest from Annie and Rob - priceless pic.
