A Beautiful Mind

He seems fine. Really.

Portrait of a four-year-old boy. Two sticks; rusty screw. Summer.

Where we read

Anywhere we want to, that's where.

Fun with water

With little exaggeration, we believe it has rained every day since we moved to Naperville.  That did not stop us from playing with water one day.  We think perhaps we have seen one too many ice bucket challenge videos.

Learning days

The road to Prairie School.

First day of school!

We are first graders!

Anna went happily off to Mrs. Hatfield's class, and Julia went merrily off to Mrs. Dunlap's class.  

Hardly a glance back on our first day at Prairie School.

Kane County Cougars game

We have also been to our second lifetime Kane County Cougars game.  We tried hard not to rub it in, but it was only John's first.

His favorite part was the giant foam finger.

Tuesday

Naperville, day3. Sitting the in the driveway, painting our nails and blasting Irish folk punk 

We're not sure how well we'll fit in, but we feel very much at home here.

Moving day

Big news over the weekend.  We finished packing our boxes and suitcases and said a final, sad farewell to Hyde Park.  Then we got in the car and said a happy hello to Naperville!

We've been hard at work making our new house liveable

but we finally feel right at home here! 

Field Museum therapods

We have seen Sue.

High two!

Screentime

Relax and watch some Dino Train with us.

Haircut

We have had a haircut.

Adorable before. Adorable after.

Johnlights

John's preschool has asked for a picture of John (no bigger than 4x6).  A brief scan of the photo software turns up these recent Johnlights.

He is our best boy.

Lunch Bunch

On second thought, maybe we fit in just fine at that McDonald's inside that Walmart on the way to Grand Rapids.
