Chillin' at our loft in the Pearl District. We had views of Mount Hood and Mount St. Helens. It was beautiful...

Chicago Air & Water Show

We had a great time at the Chicago Air & Water Show today. Emerson LOVED the planes!! He didn't mind the ear plugs, but he DID NOT like it when I covered his ears with my hands!!

New Wheels

I'm no sure which Emerson likes better...his new wagon or the box in which it came???

10 months...

Muddy Buddy

Boys will be boys, huh??

Summer in the City

We've spent the last couple of weekends at various Chicago festivals. Will and Yates came up for the Roscoe Village Burger Fest which was in our front yard (literally). And, last weekend we went with Mindy and Rich to a nearby festival where Emerson rode his first kiddie "roller coaster" (if you can call it that)!
