Christmas Morning!

Princess dresses are a little prohibitive while riding a scooter--but riding while wishing Grampa and Grandma a Merry Christmas is a piece of cake!

And THEN...

Christmas Dinner! A special thanks to Aunt Peg who not only prepared a Christmas feast...but managed to be quite the chaffeur and hostess for this wonderful visit!


Awww! Miss you!

And then...

I got to welcome S&K&A home!
This is one good looking dude!!
Baby Cousins!

To The Hospital...SURPRISE!

Beanerstitchel has arrived! Congratulations S& K!

What a blessing to have shared in this wonderful joy!
Did I say hospital? Wait a minute...are we in a hotel?

Winter's Redeeming Quality

A little bit of winter wonderland--even in an industrial park...

And on the road home...

Breakfast With Santa

Emma shows off her wonderful bag of treats and gifts that she won in a random drawing!

Any Given Sunday

Parade of Lights

Silly Chicagoans! Parades are for WARM weather!

Deck The Halls!

Pictures courtesy of E.F. Photography! Emily joined us for a Post-Thanksgiving Feast, breaking out the decorations, and a hometown Parade of Lights!

New Window Treatment

Some of you are thinking...."My, what lovely privacy glass you had installed!" But you would be wrong...because that's ICE covering our windows. Now you're thinking, "Wow, I wish I lived in Chicagoland."

Sunward Bound!

SURPRISE! Some of you may remember the surprise visit to Phoenix in November... What a WONDERFUL BLESSING it was to spend time with family!


Hey, Mitch--I think we're wearing the same pants?!?

My Kind of Town...

Our Christmas photo outtake... (No, we don't have a dog.)

Here it is! The backdrop to our Christmas photo! We had a wonderful time visiting the city in Mid-November just after Chicago had donned its gay apparel.

Turns out Mid-November is the best time to visit Macy's (formerly Marshall Fields) to see the windows! (Note: we have a full view of the window)
