Andrew had is first school performance and Sydney and I were able to attend. This is the raw, uncut footage of what I recorded, so it’s pretty bad. It was hard keeping track of Sydney while holding the camera steady in the other hand. But Andrew did a awesome job and we could not be […]

The kids first official trip to see Santa. I’m not sure they really knew what to make of it, but Andrew managed to ask for “a car”. I’m not sure if he was talking about a matchbox car or one that he can drive around the block.

For awhile I was taking more photos than I had time to process, and I’m still getting caught up. These photos are from back in June when I spent the day with Andrew in Chicago at Navy Pier. It was part of the new “one-on-one” program we’ve been trying to institute with each child. So […]

This Sunday was my day with the kids, and we just had a blast. We ran some errands, went to the airport to watch a few plans take off, went to Whole Foods where they each had their own mini shopping cart, and ended the day with playing at our favorite park. Having them all […]

We spent a few hours Saturday afternoon in Millennium park. I’m always amazed at how beautiful Chicago is in the summer and how much it has to offer. We had a impromptu picnic on the lawn, let the kids roam free and had a great time. A few photos are here, the rest are on […]
