Apple Picking

Technically we didn’t pick any apples today.  The orchard we go to each year had closed their trees for the season, but there were still plenty of apples for sale.  We also picked some raspberries and explored the petting zoo.

My good life

I’m not sure I could wish for more…

I have a kind, loving, thoughtful, handsome husband who is an exceptionally wonderful father.

I have a ridiculously adorable child who is sweet, fun, funny, and happy.

We live in a place we enjoy near beautiful places to walk to.

I’m so thankful.

Family Vacation

We returned Saturday evening from a very peaceful family vacation.  Some generous friends lend us their cottage each summer so we can have uninterrupted time just the three of us.  As you can see, we had a great week.

Beach Trip

It’s hard to believe that we made it to August without a trip to one of our favorite places, the Warren Dunes.  But on Tuesday we did make it and, as you can see, had a great time.

A visit from Ama and Pops

We’ve been enjoying time with my mom and dad this week.  Although my dad had to return to New Jersey on Sunday evening he did get to experience Eliot’s first trip to the bowling alley.

My mom has been here all week and has been a huge help with Eliot while Maggie works for Common Threads’ summer camp.  Tonight we enjoyed a picnic and the Grant Park symphony in Millennium Park.
