We caved

I seem to remember a conversation many years ago that went something like this...

Jen: I will NEVER get a mini-van.
Lee: Yeah, they suck.
Jen: Why bother...just get an SUV or station wagon or something.
Lee: Just shoot me if I ever suggest getting one of those hideous things.

Now,

Lee: Yeah! It fits in the garage!
Jen: It's got like 15 cupholders!
Lee: You can order pizza from a Zagat's rated restaurant in Toronto by voice command.
Jen: Dude!

Hutch: A van! I don't beyeev it! Yeah! Magic doors! Ina watch a moooovie. Ina watch Nemo.
Maggie: Ppffffftttt

We've come for your daughter, Chuck......

 

Aaarrrrghhhh!!!

In honor of Clare & Joel's new site, I give you.............Lazytown.



If you're in Chicago, or are visiting Chicago, or care about Chicago, or just want to see why I put this awesome video of awesomeness that is overflowing with awesomeness up, go to Chiclarego and Joelumbus' Epicurian Adventure

Maggie went too!

 

Maggie was a real trooper throughout our travels. She was a little cranky during transit, but aren't we all?

Keep on Truckin'

 

We went to Andrew's birthday party and Hutch got to skate for the first time! He caught on quickly and loved every minute!

Guitar Hero RULES!

 

Thanks to Clare's boyfriend for bringing along his Playstation and Guitar Hero stuff. We rocked.

Pay No Attention to the Dog...

 

This picture sums it up...

 

We traveled and traveled over the holidays. We began with a pilgrimmage to Ky-In to see relatives on both sides of the family. Much to Hutch's delight, at every stop there were gifts! This picture was taken at great-aunt Mida's house after the openings had wound down. Hutch slept for about an hour and a half on the floor.
