Hey Chicago Whadda Ya Say...

So, after looking at all of our family and friends' beautiful blogs I asked Derek if I could take down the Cubbies paraphernalia. You know I love the Cubs, but it's all just a little too boyish for my (I mean our) blog. He said absolutely not. He then relented, "Okay after October you can take it down." He did insist that the Cubs widget at the bottom of our blog was "girlie enough" because it "sparkles." If there were 24/7 Baseball Tonight live feed that you could embed in a blog, believe me, we would have it.

So come on Cubbies! Let's win the World Series! It's perfect timing...100 years since you last won. Plus you better make it worth it, since I have to keep up the stinking MLB standings until it's all done and over with.

Go Cubs Go!

What's Up With Us

We had a really fun week! Eva has been rolling from tummy to back for a little while, but she perfected the back to tummy roll. She finally got up and over the shoulder. She is really loving to squeal now. Derek was in charge of a ward activity on Saturday morning. There was a really great turn out at the park for grilled burgers, games, and music. That evening we had friends over. Derek's best friend, Tim, his wife, Sarah, and their son, Lewis were visiting from Texas. Plus Ty, Masha and little Petra came over. It's so great our kids are close in age! On labor day Derek and I went up to Park City to see the Parade of Homes. It was amazing and amazingly cold. It snowed! We had a busy weekend, but it was so much fun.

Fun at the park.

Lewis and the Ladies, Petra and Eva.

And here we are enjoying the Parade of Homes with the cutest little girl in the world!
