Good Night Chicago - Museum Campus

Auntie Liza bought Mia her first books when she was only a few months old, including Goodnight Chicago.   Now Mia enjoys flipping through the pages of her books before bedtime every night.  Since I enjoyed making a book on blurb for our wedding guest book and love taking pictures of our city, I thought, let’s make Mia her very own Goodnight Chicago book!   So in the next few years as we enjoy our city life, I plan to take pictures of Mia at all the landmarks in her book.  Since the weather has been unseasonably warm lately, we had a family day last week to check a few things off our list. 

 

 Hello, great Chicago buildings, reaching up into the sky.

  

 Wow! Look at those dinosaur bones at the Field Museum of Natural History.

Good evening, stargazers at the planetarium.



Good night, Chicago. Sleep tight. I'm pooped.

Can’t wait to take her to more places and to practice shooting!



Can We Keep Her In Her Bubble?

Hearing stories about suicides resulting from bullying in young kids (and apparently college kids too) in articles such as these, makes me realize yet another way technology completely changed social interactions. 

Welcome Home!

My best friend/aspiring gypsy returned home yesterday after wandering Europe for 3+ months.  To show Agatha how much we missed her over the summer, we decided to throw her a rather last minute, surprise welcome home party. 

Weekend Recap

Another Monday morning….first I see the bus pass me by.  So I wait for the next one, with no Red Eye because they moved the newspaper box to a corner where there is no bus stop.  No Red Eye Guy at the train station either, bummer.  I bet he didn’t want to stand out there on this 40 degree October morning. Then I see the train pass me by.  So I get on the next train, which is a stinky one.  Bored, with no reading materials. Oh well, at least it was sunny and we had a good weekend J

Worth Smelling Like Curry For Two Days - Cumin

Since my other world travelling BFF is back for only short periods of time, I make sure I get some quality time penciled in.  This time we chose to try out Cumin in Bucktown/Wicker Park.  It’s a modern Nepalese/Indian restaurant that I heard about through Daily Candy.  We were a little overwhelmed with the curry smell upon entering, but despite still smelling like curry the next day, we loved everything about it.  It was bustling at 7:30 on a Thursday night, but we made a reservation and had no problems with seating.
