The Leaper

This will have to end soon. The boy feels like he's made of stone lately.

The Holiday Season continues to ramp up.

Cruised downtown to enjoy sunny, slightly less cold weather. Hit the Christkindlmarket. Then headed over to Millennium Park and the Modern wing of the Art Institute.

We ended the adventure with a stop at La Pasadita for tacos.

Highlights: our thermos of hot chocolate, horsies, getting to look out of the front window of the El train headed downtown.

Thanksgiving #2 - Chez Schuerr

Nata helped Grandma Sue make cranberry relish. Then, the cousins and their kids came over. It was a fun crazy zoo.

Elliot had his first pistachio, Cool Whip, Jello salad. It was HUGE hit. Nata, as always, crushed the ham.

The basement was home to lots of art projects, soccer games, foosball matches, etc. Fiddler on the Roof was sung and Elliot made his musical debut playing a couple of songs in the traditional family performance-fest that is Thanksgiving dinner.

Thanksgiving

It ends with the traditional Feats of Strength contest pitting E.B. against Grandpa.

Nata's First School pic

Some shoddy Photoshop work by Dad and the photo company's watermark vanishes (sort of).

Natter Batter takes a mean pic regardless.

Nov thunderstorms.

Cats at Wrigley

The game went badly but the event was awesome. We brought the kids to check out some of the pre-game stuff. Then Grandma Bonnie took them and we got to hang out with adults (sort of) for 10 straight hours.

Lots of friends came in from all over the country. Fun.

Go cats!

Elliot school pic

Not sure what happened with Natalie's school picture. The boy looks sharp though.

Garfield park - new path

Zoo goofs

Lincoln Park Zoo. We've missed you.

More smores

Owie and Sue got the soccer Saturday indoctrination today. We finished up the day with smores in the back garden.

The Schuerrs are PI boosters too!
