Playing Tourist

We had some friends visit from CA this last weekend, so I showed them around town. And even though I've lived here for almost two years, I still feel like a tourist. Here's the Chicago Theatre, GCDs, and a picture of the Wrigley Building (which is across from the Tribune Tower):




Here's Trump Tower and two pictures from the end of the CTA's 147 bus, which goes right by our block. (The Congress Hotel seems to be a historic place as well.)

Airport Trips

We've officially come out of hiding. Tonight we got the girls into our new double stroller and walked down the street for dinner. We're all medicated at the moment, however. The common cold knocked the Chicago Cheneys out this last week, but we're feeling a bit better. Since the last month has been new-baby hard, coupled with blah-sick ick, I'm going to try and document a few moments we might have forgotten about if it weren't for the camera.

In the first week, I went to Midway four times. A couple weeks later, I went to Ohare twice and Midway twice. Here are a few pictures from those various trips.

A New Season

As the weather finally changes here in Chicago (we've now had 4 or 5 warm days), we are entering into a new phase of life. We have two daughters (two!), and when we aren't in a daze, we can't believe we have two daughters. (Note to self: We have two daughters.) Also, we'll be moving to Evanston later this summer, moving a step away from big city life (even though we only live 5 minutes from Evanston right now).
