UnrealisticExpectations 3.0

It’s a little late, but for Mother’s Day, we took Nicolle to the Morton Arboretum for a brunch and family photos. We became members, which was probably a great deal considering how much they offer for kids and considering how much it actually costs just to park and get in. Not to mention a couple of kids shows and concerts that we’ll get to see for much better prices this summer–in an outdoor, comfortable and fun setting.

Here’s my family, the most recent:

I dig my kid:

And I dig my wife and kid (my two girls, if you’re in to that sorta thing):

I’m pretty proud of my family; on photo paper, we at least appear to be pretty darn happy–and in reality, it takes a lot of courage for me to say this for fear of repercussions just for, well, saying it: We are pretty darn happy.

There, I said it.

I’m looking forward to the shortened work week and to Saturday–we’re taking Sydney to see “Ralph’s World” at the Chicago House of Blues; free Rice Krispies if you get there by 9a! We may enjoy this pretty city for a bit or we may just head back home on the train, but the day’s about the daughter and that’s almost never a bad day.

Then, in just a couple of weeks after that, we’re off to take Sydney to her first ever Cubs game! From the Bleachers! My daughter’s getting exposed to my sort-of-off sense of humor, a wide, wide variety of music (and dancing!) and the Friendly Confines of Wrigley Field. It’s the right way to start off her fun little life, methinks.
