Splish Splash

Here's Millie doing a very wobbly, splashy run through the fountain at Grant Park a few months ago.

Millie Monkey

Today was dress up day at school. Millie and the friends in her class all put their outfits on and walked around the school.


It was hot work in that monkey suit!

Lego with Grandpa Foemmel

Millie showed Grandpa some basic construction techniques with her duplo. Looks like he's getting the hang of it.

Aquarium trip

All ready to go in the lobby...


Family snap outside the aquarium...


Slide, penguin, slide!

Summer day

I found my camera cable! Have some catching up to do.

Here's a few snaps from a trip down to Grant Park on a summer day - seems a long way off now. Walking down Walton with Daddy...


Touching the "bean"...


Up to the ankles...

A picture is worth a thousand words

Well pictures are great, but sadly I have lost the cable to download photos from my camera, so until I find it - or crack and buy another one - we're on photo hiatus. Although there is some truth in the old adage (who doesn't enjoy a photo?) Matt and I have been very much enjoying Millie's new ability to speak. Yes, say actual words. Her repertoire includes (but is not limited to!) shoe, eyes, o's, wow, oh no, chair, go, egg, door and assorted animal noises.

Of course mama and dada are still our favorite ones to hear.

Can you say bears?

Millie is messy-faced and chatting with Daddy.
