Isaacisms

Favorite Isaac Moments of Late (I recognize that these things are only really entertaining and amusing to me, Dan, and maybe our parents):

1. In the mall the other day him and Lily were at the top of a “scary slide” and Isaac looks over at lily before she was about to go down for her first time and says, “It’s scary Babe, It’s scary.”

2. He woke up from his nap yesterday and Lily and I were on a walk so he looks over at Dan and says, “Where’s Meghan?” When I get home, the first thing he says is, “Can I have a cookie Meghan?”

3. Last time my mom was in town she brought Isaac a Mr. Potato Head. He continually refers to him as “tato man”. This morning, first thing, he is eating breakfast and points over to the shelf and says in a very relieved tone, “OH, there’s my tato man.”

4. Just about every day when I try to put his clothes on he screams, “GAME BALL SHIRT….GAME BALL SHIRT”, then if I pull one out that isn’t the official Bears Matt Forte jersey he yells, “NOOOOOOO…Matt Torte one!”

5. The other day I put on Isaac’s Chicago Blackhawks jersey on him for the first time. Right on the front there is a picture of an Indian chief. He looks down at his shirt and points to the chief and says, “how bout this guy??”


I’m sure there are so many more, but that is all that I can think of off the top of my head at the moment. I need to get better about recording these as they happen.

apple picking

We have had a VERY COLD and DREARY October here in Chicago. We did manage to get out to the apple orchard. It was FREEZING!!! We went the same time last year and I was VERY pregnant with lily and it was probably 30-40 degrees warmer.

HAPPY HALOWEEEEEEN!!!!!!!!!

Old Summer Favs

Below are some pictures from this summer that I just never got around to posting and I thought were so cute!!

Saying Goodbye

I recently had to say good bye to my first house. The house was filled with memories and warmth. There are so many times when I would just stop and look around and just soak in the beauty of our old little house. I already miss 417 S. Summit St. On our last morning there, just a few hours before the house officially no longer belonged to us, I snapped a few pictures of some of my favorite places around the house.

BEACH TODAY

About a month ago, my friend nicole and I decided to throw caution to the wind (not worry about things like naps, screaming babies, etc.) and head into the city with our kids and spend a day at the beach. It ended up being wonderful!! Well, today was the beach part II. Above are a few pics from our adventure. It was kind of cold, hence then jeans. :) Isaac's favorite part of the beach was chasing what he called ducks...most people refer to them as sea gulls, but whatever.
