Day 365: Dads and babies

We were invited to our friends' place for a barbeque. Here are the dads and their babies! From left to right, Joe and Jacob, Brian and Meghan, and S and baby A.

This is the final post of my second 365! Year 3 will begin shortly.

Day 364: New neighbors

We have new neighbors upstairs who have just moved in. They had a very large moving truck with lots of helpful friends bringing it all inside.

Day 363: Happy

Tried taking a few quick photos of baby to send to Daddy while he's on the road.

Day 362: Trip to the library

Even though Daddy is out of town, we still made it to the library and Anand was good enough to let Mommy check out a few books.

Day 361: New wardrobe

Our landlord lent us a vintage wardrobe, which he and his friend moved into our apartment. It's a little big, but I love it!

Day 360: Farewell to my suitcase

I'm really sad about this. My favorite suitcase, a suitcase that has been all around the world and back with me, has finally died for good. I must replace it immediately!

Day 359: First class

Mommy's silly monkey is chilling in first class on the plane ride home!

Day 358: Happy birthday

To my wonderful dad!

Day 357: Ancestors

A photo of my dad's parents. I love this picture.

Day 356: Family

Grandma and her grandkids!

Day 355: Generations

Grandfather, father, and son.

Day 354: My kind of town

And seen by boat, no less! We met a friend of mine for dinner and he kindly took us out on his boat! Gorgeous view from the lake.

Day 353: Cousins

Here are Shanta and Madison, my sister-in-law's daughter and my sister's daughter.

Day 352: The baptism

Baby was christened today at our home parish. He was generally very good with a few minor stressful parts. But we were all very happy he survived the water. Here is the baptismal font.

Day 351: New blanket

Baby has some new blankets and this one is my favorite.

Day 350: Sleeping at 4AM

Daddy's sleeping, baby's sleeping...why isn't mommy sleeping?

Day 349: Home sweet home

We start our first full day at home in the Chicago suburbs. Anand and Daddy are reading a magazine.

Day 348: Airplane ride

Baby's first airplane ride! We made it successfully and even scored an upgrade to first class, but it was only for one of us plus baby, and neither of us were willing to leave the other back in steerage. So we kindly gave back the upgrade...I'm hoping that karma will come back to us!

Day 347: First election

Baby's first election.

Day 346: Smiley

He's finally starting to smile!

Day 345: Politics

We are having a primary election in a couple days, and the mail and telephone calls have been ramping up. It's starting to get annoying, so I'll be quite glad when August 10 is done!

Day 344: Wentworth's

S took me and baby A to Wentworth's for some ice cream. They have the best ice cream of any place around here. Plus, they have a nice backyard seating area where you can relax with your treat.

Day 343: Dreading this

S will be taking a trip when we return from Chicago...which means I will be on my own with baby A. I hope we survive!

Day 342: Laundry

Since having the baby, we now have a permanent pile of laundry located somewhere in the apartment.

Day 341: Poor little one

Today was the day I'd been dreading. Baby received his first set of immunizations (jabs for my UK viewers). He was so brave and only cried when she gave the initial injections, then he quieted right down. I was so proud of him!

Day 340: Working with Dad

Dad had some work to do, and luckily baby A was on hand to help.

Day 339: Closeup

Baby's closeup.

Day 338: Tomatoes

My landlord's growing tomatoes in the backyard and they're just starting to ripen.
