Lincoln Park Zoo 9-20-09

YAY the Zoo!!

We went to the zoo yesterday on Jeremy's day off. The Lincoln Park Zoo is one of the last zoos in the country that is free to the public. And though it was cloudy the rain stayed away until we left. Though Lawson did manage to sleep almost the entire time, Jeremy and I had fun. We realized that Hoss is not only part Lama, and part deer but he must have a little Kangaroo in him as well, making him a Kangalamadeer Chihuahua. We had a nice time walking around, we were going to visit the Botanical Gardens but alas it started to rain. Maybe another day.
Here are some pics from our day-

Chicago Week 1

Hello all, well we have survived week 1 in Chicago. We are 95% settled. We went to a Cubs game the other night. Lawson's first baseball game. And needless to say he did not have fun. He spent the whole night like this:

He cried and cried and cried. We think he was upset because he wanted to see the Yankees but ended up seeing the Cubs.
Our Condo is coming along. It is still small but we have managed to be a little creative, and it is pretty livable. Here are the views from the condo:
Wrigley Field

Sears Tower


The weather is starting to turn to fall here, which is nice. There is a nice park very close to the condo which I will try to take Lawson to often.

We are going to go to the Lake this weekend so there will be some new photos after that. Otherwise here are some photos of Lawson from our going away BBQ and his new high chair.

Chicago Here We Are

Well we have made to Chicago safe and sound and...tired. Not Lawson, he slept for 14 hours. Jeremy and I are running on fumes. He did so great on the drive. Mostly because we drove overnight to not screw up his sleeping schedule. It worked, he is sleeping soundly in his pack and play. We are getting settled into our very small condo. The whole place is the size of our living room in Maplewood, but we will manage just fine. We have a view of Wrigley Stadium and we can also see the Sear's tower. I will post photos soon of our great neighborhood and our little place.
