some last Chicago moments

Pictures from some last outings around town -- the Brookfield Zoo with Grandpa and Grandma Wood and our family outing to the Garfield Park conservatory, one of our favorite places around here:

Car Show

This is not your father's car show. Well, actually, I guess it is your father's car show. But there are very few pictures of cars in it! I went to Autorama Saturday because my colleague -- "Dale" -- was invited to show his Super Stock Dodge -- "Rampage" -- alongside Don Garlits' car and other drag racing esoterica. I took my long lens, so I couldn't fit cars in my viewfinder, but I found some fun and colorful images anyway, and decided to post them for your viewing pleasure, and to spare you having to actually attend a Hot Rod show of your own.
love,
Dad

Fort Casey

Usually don't post this often. (Okay let's be honest we've been barely posting the past few months). :-P But we just came home from a GORGEOUS day out in the sun & couldn't wait to look at our pictures. We meant to hit Ebey's Landing National Historial Reserve for a kid friendly hike (been working our way through a list of short hikes that are recommended for toddlers). However we got a wee bit lost so we decided to hit up Fort Casey. It turned into a perfect day & we can't wait to get back. Maybe someday we'll hit the hike (however Ian wants to get back so he can climb on more military structures). ;) Enjoy the pictures! :)

funny videos

Here's a few funny videos for you all. The first is Evangeline cleaning the scuzz off our floors. She also likes folding laundry, sweeping, vacuuming, you name it. Don't know where she gets it from!




The second is from this morning, when Evangeline found a small bit of spring amidst the winter that's still all around us!



Another video to add: Playing tot soccer! A new game around here...

Random Pics from Feb 2010

Here are some random pics from the last month or so. We'll post some more pics of Molly's room once I finish all of the sewing projects (still picking out fabrics). I knew Mom wanted to see the paint color though so here is the unfinished room.

a few almost spring photos!

A few photos from last week: We went for a walk on a warm day after the big snow (about 10", nothing like the East Coast!). Then, we played with puppets inside.
