The geese are flying!

Yea, finally some pics for all those emailing me! Lots, lots more to follow.

Our favorite season!! The weather here has been fantastic, a mix between summer and fall, and we've been enjoying it as much as possible. I love this time of year, love Chicago weather, and love that we get to enjoy breezy cool, fall-jacket wearing mornings and then play in shorts and polos all afternoon.

This pic melts my heart: last pool-day of the season, and he is ALL ready for the swim.

He became such a water baby. Can't wait for next summer!
This little guy loves the playgrounds, especially the bouncy bridges!

This pic cracks me up: looks who's teething & impatient.

"Enough with the pics, Mom."

Chilly morning busy pushing his truck.
Trucks, rocks, sticks, climbing, dirt, investigating....

He likes to feed the ducks & geese at the pond.

Our newest atrocity: a hand-me-down from a family down the street.

He just loves to climb into it and drive & honk the horn!

Think he'll be outgrowing this quickly- so glad we saved that money for his college!

Teething.

Still loves splashing in the water & the hoses.

Mr. Potato Head.

Oh so cute. I got this from B while we were dating (stored it away for our kids, along with the countless teddy bears and animals).

It was the header to his first email he sent me my first year of college.
And, I've realized that it makes a good body-part learning toy- ha.



In light of the football season starting we've geared E up as well.

B was playing his football video game, I was sitting next to him, E crawling and playing on the couch. We didn't think he was paying any, whatsoever attention to the game. All of a sudden, out of the corner of our eyes we see him, mimicking the refs in the game, shoot his hands up in the air...

Touchdown!
