Coffee Break/Nap Time

The life of a stay-at-home-mom. And I LOVE it!!!

Blackhawks Parade/Rally

I just happened to take a walk. I put Scarlet in the stroller and leashed up Titus. I decided I'd walk around Soldier Field to see the hubub. I strolled around the backside of the field and happened upon a spot nobody had thought about! So I stuck around for the parade. Titus, of course, got the most attention INCLUDING the assistant coach (Kitchen) from the first video. He pointed to me and says, "NICE DOG!" in which I reply, "THANK YOU." Because I had not planned this, I had to get video on only 10% battery. This is why the videos are so short.

Big Enough

to walk a good and tired dog.

Titus has a cone (again) and someone is trying to figure this out.

sunday morning walk

this winter was so cold that 80% of the great lakes froze. now they're saying the lake temperature at the beaches is 15º cooler than it was this time last year which is creating our usual morning fog. I took a video of the fog moving up the side of a highrise...

we went up to uncle greg and aunt diane's cabin up in the U.P. last weekend for a long weekend. it's about a 6.5 hr drive from chicago. we did a lot of hanging out and it was GREAT! there were 4 adults, 1 kid and 4 dogs- a full house. or cabin. surprisingly, everyone behaved themselves. we even brought home our dog, which we thought for sure, would loose him in the wilderness. these photos are all unedited. I would love to edit them, but I'm just lucky to have them. micah is working on my iphoto and... let's just leave it at that :)
