Scorchio

Last sunday was hot and sunny. Millie enjoyed her first trip to the beach, making sandcastles and finding things. Turns out there are lots of choking hazards on the beach so finding them before Millie did kept Matt and I pretty busy.


Pefect day.

Picnic in the Park

Last weekend we started our week long staycation. For the uninitiated it's a vacation where you stay put, thereby avoiding pesky packing sessions and airport stress. We kicked off by taking the beach towels down to the park and had a picnic.

Open wide!



Delicious!

Matt's 2nd Father's Day

Millie was only 3 days old for Matt's 1st Father's Day and apart from a card there wasn't much fanfare. She made up for it this year though. First she took Daddy to the Drake for brunch...


Then we went for a stroll...


After naps (Millie and Daddy!) we went to the Beachstro and Millie fed Matt some cheerios - lucky Daddy!

Something Fishy

Free entrance at the Shedd Aquarium every day last week was too good to pass up. Millie and I headed down there on the bus on Friday and spent a few hours looking at beluga whales, sharks and otters among other things. We caught the water taxi back to Navy Pier on the way home. Here we are on the boat waiting for anchors away!

Feeling hot, hot, hot!

Looks like summer finally came to Chicago this week. Millie found the air conditioning switch and not a moment too soon! Seems like she'll get a chance to wear her summer clothes at last.

Millie and Rebecca

It was just last weekend that Rebecca, Auntie Susan and Uncle Jeremy were in Chicago with us. The cousins are getting a hug from Auntie Susan and look super cute in their matching outfits!


We hope it's not too long before we can all hang out again.

Dinner and Dancing

When it comes to dancing I have two left feet, but Millie shows some early promise. Here she is bopping along to some music at brunch last weekend. Girl's got rhythm!
