Your Wonderful Daddy... July 05, 2008

We're in the middle of enjoying a long family weekend together.  I'm listening to some of the most precious sounds right now.  Daddy has done so much to take care of you and us today.  I'm sitting here listening to him cheerfully and happily giving you a bath upstairs.  He's having fun with you and you are with him.  I can hear both of you talking, playing in the tub, talking about all the fun things we've been doing this weekend and the "choo-choo" we're going to ride today.  He's such a good dad, and such a fun person.  I'm glad he's yours...and mine.

Chicago (Part Two)... March 30, 2008

The second day we were there Chris spent the whole morning and until 3:00 in interviews for the White House Fellowship.  He said they went pretty well and that he felt good about them.  I was just praying for him that his personality would come across because really, who could not love him?  I spent the morning having an expensive taxi fiasco and ending up at a really cool natural history museum.  (Let's just say, cabbis don't really care about you.  They just care that you can pay them - and no, they don't want to take the time to have you pay by credit card.)  But let's just focus on the cool museum part. At the Field Museum they have the largest and most complete T-Rex ever found.  It's head alone was 5 feet long.  Reading that helped me put into perspective how big dinosaurs really were and made me realize why my 5 year old nephew Mason is obsessed with them.  I'm only 5'4".  I guess knowing that a huge, biting, fightin...

My Little Sickie... July 12, 2008

My poor little Noah, you've been so sick the past two days.  It makes me so grateful for doctors and medicine.  We think you've had pneumonia or croup.  It's such a strange time of year for you to get sick like this and it came on so suddenly, that it really took me by surprise.  You've only been this sick one other time in your life, and maybe not even then.  You've been running a fever, you have a cough that sounds like a dog, and every time you cough, you cry because it hurts so bad.  All you want to do is have me hold you...We've even been sleeping together on the floor of your room at night.  It's been a long couple of days and I'm so hoping you feel all better soon. 3 cute stories from this: We took you to the Dr. and they did an x-ray of your chest.  It was basically impossible for you to hold still like they needed to, so we ended up having to take them twice.  They gave us the extra one to take home as a souvenir, so we have a l...

Chicago... March 29, 2008

It was really fun to have a "date" with my lovey, to explore one of America's biggest cities, and to have some time all to myself to do things mommies never get to.  I slept in, spent hours reading my latest book (an autobiography of George Stephanopoulos about his time during the Clinton years), and watched American Idol with the volume up loud and no interruptions!  It was so fun!  I missed Noah, but not too much until we were on the plane home and then I couldn't wait to be mommy again.  Noah had a lot of fun with Grammie Parker while we were gone too.  They went to the zoo and the Treehouse Museum.  When we got back and picked him up I could tell it was a really good experience for both of them because Noah didn't want to say goodbye to them. The first day we got there Chris and I walked the "Magnificent Mile" which is a downtown street lined with famous and super expensive stores like Cartier and Tiffanny's.  We went inside Tiffany's just...
