A big adventure

We have a good excuse for not posting cute baby pictures... our power went out! No - not a flicker... or a shutter... but OUT. For 3 days. Katie's thoughts - "Changing newborn diapers by candlelight is kind of romantic". Here's the good sports (my parents) washing our dishes in the dark.


Despite the darkness, and even because of it, a great week was had by all including a trip to the Lincoln Park Zoo....


... and pancakes...


... and cookies!


Thanks also to friends who stopped by! Just clarify - the "well behaved" ones in the middle are ours. What a Supermom.

It was an adventure - but a fun one! I can't think of anyone else I'd rather be stranded without electricity with:)

This MUST be your second child...I have yet to see a picture of Isabel by herself! But at least it looks like she's having fun!
