Rosie’s birthday interview
It’s become traditional to hold a video interview over the breakfast table with the birthday girl. Today, Rosie is two, and here’s what she had to say about it.
“Two, yah.”
If you ask Rosie how old she is today, she’ll probably say, “Two, yah.” (She’s taken to adding an affirmative “yah” at the end of many observations and answers.) Happy birthday, little girl! We love you dearly. more »

Rosie (here on March 6, 2010) is pleased about something, too. more »

On board the Santa train
Lucy loves trains, Christmas, and Kris Kringle — so the CTA’s “Santa Train” is just about as special as it can get. We rode it December 12, 2009. more »

The best possible motive

A “touch” of pneumonia
We’ve all been a little sick with colds this week, but poor Lucy has had it the worst with a persistent cough, which turned out to be something to take more seriously — and with her first-ever round of antibiotics. more »

Days gone by
We’re feeling a little nostalgic, what with a fresh post up about Lucy’s old nap routine and being stuck in a Midwestern midwinter here — so coming across this summertime shot of Lucy struck a chord. It was taken June 18, 2009 (seven months ago today), in the warmth of summer inside the North Park University Gazebo (itself a thing of the past as of this fall). more »
