September in Chicago

Aunt Amy came to visit...



...and yes, a couple days have been cold enough for Emerson to wear a toboggan! CRAZY!!!

A Daddy and his Boy...

Go White Sox!!

Emerson attended his first Chicago White Sox game yesterday. He loved it! His favorite part of the day was the ice cream cone his daddy shared with him!

11 Months

I can't believe Emerson turned 11 months on the 6th! And even more, I can't believe he is WALKING!!! Little E took his first steps in early August, and now...he is cruising halfway across the room!! Fun times!!

Labor Day in the City

We had a great time in Chicago over the Labor Day weekend. Emerson's grandparents and aunt were in town, and we did lots of fun things...including a boat trip of the city!

Yummmmmm.......

Emerson didn't really eat the corn, but he l-o-v-e-d acting like it!!

Portland, Oregon

We had a great time and stayed very busy during our family vacation to Portland!!
