Day 40-365: Pedway

Day 40-365: Pedway

I emerge from below ground, called the Pedway System. You'd be amazed at the underground tunnel system in Chicago. Sure does help when temps are below freezing.

Day 39-365: Caution

Day 39-365: Caution

You will find these signs in front of every store on every block in the city. I shake my head every time I see one. How does one walk down the street and avoid falling ice from skyscrapers??

Day 38-365: Celtic Mittens

Latest take-along project are a pair of Celtic Mittens. I've changed the pattern just a bit to have a thumb gusset which fits better on the hand. The numbers work out, so I'm giving it the Thumbs UP!

Soon after these pictures where shot he began to pull and tug the hat off. I forget how quick babies can be and how much they don't understand the need for a great hat photo!!

He is so freakin' adorable it just melts you. The one thing he has inherited is his mother's dimples. I think my camera would have melted too if I actually caught any glimpse of that smile;)
