Independence weekend
We had an entire weekend together as a family this holiday. Saturday we spent the day enjoying music and a picnic in Millennium Park, playing in the Crown Fountain, and shopping...
And today we spent the day relaxing, taking a lazy stroll along the boulevard in the heat, enjoying Miko's Italian ice, and now we are packing up to head to Florida (well Jagger and I--daddy will join us in 4 days) to spend sometime with the whole Smith clan for the next 10 days!
Ahhh, summertime!

Happy Birthday Jagger Saint!!
Our baby is ONE!
There were cupcakes and ice cream, singing cards, sunshine, dancing, great gifts (books, legos, magna doodle, tool set, clothes and more!) and mostly, lots of laughter. A perfect end to a perfect year!

First Father's Day
"Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father!" -- Lydia M. Child
This last year I have been blessed to watch my husband turn into a father. His adoring words and playful ways have drawn our son into a deep love and bond that only a father and son could understand. From hearing Jagger's first words "Dada" and watching his face light up and hands raise everytime Jacob walks in the door and so much more; my witness to this has been, truly, beautiful.
Jacob only had a two hour layover between flights this Father's Day. So Jag and I picked him up from the airport, drove to a local flea market, grabbed some lunch and relaxed at a little lake and park near-by. It was perfect.
To my amazing Father. You have brought joy and sunshine and laughter into my life; and helped mold me into the woman I am today. I love you Daddy. Watching you with Jagger is a special gift that I am blessed to be a part of. He already loves you as much as I do--if not more! Happy First Grandfather's Day to you!

(These pics were taken the last week of May at my parents country home. Jagger loved relaxing and soaking up the rays with Grandpa.)

Oh blogger, I'm behind.
Here is a quick recap of what has happened in the last three weeks...and why I am so far behind!
Catching up...we MOVED! Jagger helped daddy out quite a bit!

We moved to a fab new place in Chicago. Thrice the size of our last place, it finally feels like home!We have 3 bedrooms, sunroom, living, dining kitchen, pantry and garage! Heaven! So come visit! Here are a few shots of our new place...I am only now starting to decorate, so don't judge by these shots! 
We then had company in town (pics later), and then my sweet baby boy fought off Roseola for the next week.
It was awful, but we are healed and well and back to our adorable, happy self!
