it's just funny to watch people fall down.....

Mom & JR playing around!

Chicago Marathon 26.3

We didn't even know the Chicago Marathon was being held this weekend,

but we had the perfect view from our room!

This was taken with my right hand, while in my PJ's, holding a cup of Coffee and talking to JR!

45,000 runners......It looked like this for over an hour & this is mile 1.5!

After a shower and another cup of coffee, we headed out to watch the Pro's run!

Momma & Joseph hitt'n' the streets to get a little shopping in!

You can't spend alot of money, shopping in 2hr incriments.....

Everywhere we went, Joseph was the center of attention.......

I'm the King of the WORLD!!!

We took a Family trip to Chicago this last weekend.

Joseph Loved the View from our room--

"Dad, all those people down there, look smaller than me!"

"OK, Hurry dad--I don't want to miss anything."

Yep- Looks the same, only darker....

A great Babysitter= Big window, 35 stories up!

Nana' reads BROWN BEAR BROWN BEAR to JR...........

A children's light hearted comedy about colored animals and "WHAT THEY SEE"

U FUN'E DAD'E

My sweet little girl, I mean boy......His laugh now has a "girlish" scream mixed in.....

He is so easily entertained. Everything I do seems to be funny. I was actually sweeping off the outdoor rug and he thought is was hilarious.........

Viewers choice!

We can't decide, so we're turning to the people for help........

I know I had way more fun doing this than JR did!!

Two of these will be going back and one will make the rounds for Halloween!!!!
