Big Boy

Every day Grady does something that makes him a little boy rather than a baby. Last night, after his bath, he grabbed his DVD player and brought it into the bedroom to watch his favorite movie UP while laying on the comfy bed.

Evanston Park

One of the great things about Chicago is the amount of parks. I feel like we have been to a lot but there are still a ton more that we have yet to visit. Today we went up north a bit to the town of Evanston (Northwestern University is located here). Grady played for a while because the weather was great as the sun was out.

So cold on the beach!

Puddle Stompin

The weather has been getting much nicer and we are not stuck in the house anymore!! YAY! It was in the high 40's yesterday so we went over to the park. The snow is still on the ground but is slowly melting away. I put on Grady's snow boots and he decided to get soaking wet by jumping in the puddles.

I guess stomping in the puddles got old so he decided to run in them


Worn out

The Vintage Bazaar

I have been really busy this past week getting ready for the first annual Vintage Bazaar here in Chicago. I was a vendor with my site finding fabulous and I enlisted my high school friend Anna to help out. We had a great time and sold lots of stuff!! They were expecting 500-1,000 people to attend but there ended up being 3,000 people and a line out the door almost the whole time!!

Children's Museum - Suburbs

Yesterday we went to the suburbs of Chicago (Glenview) to buy a membership at the Children's Museum they recently built. It's not too far away from us since we live in the north part of Chicago and Glenview almost borders the city. We had a ton of fun and it is HUGE!

Playing the drum

Hello? Who's there?

Playing with the solar houses

Knocking on the doors then opening them (That seemed to be his favorite thing)

Always finds the phone

Grady's Half Birthday!

Today Grady is 2 1/2! We bought a bunch of cupcakes from Phoebe's Cupcakes here in Chicago and brought them into class with him on Friday to share with his friends. The teachers loved them and I'm sure the kids did too! Here is Grady eating a leftover chocolate cupcake, yummy!!

Our Woodlands House

I have been thinking about our house in the Woodlands we sold before we moved to Chicago. I really do miss it. So many things I miss about it. I do love it here in Chicago, but the winter really does keep you indoors and this is one thing I loved about Houston, we were able to be outside all of the time. I asked Kris if he would contact our real estate agent and get the professional pictures they took when we put it on the market. I wasn't sure if they still had them but it was our lucky day.

I love the night shots they took, aren't they gorgeous?
