Enjoying Local Fun

Tucker and I went to the nearby Octoberfest so he could learn about his German roots and hear some polka. (It was also because Chad was working a lot and we needed to get out of the house!) He had a late nap so he did fine staying up late and loved seeing so many people and live music. On the way home with his first walk in the dark he was pointing to the street lights with this serious look - his new skill pointing to lights or ceiling fans. It was cute. (No photos though.)

I have found a local Moms group so that is going to be great for us! We went to the park twice and met some really nice moms in the area. Tucker played in the sand for the first time. Kind of made me cringe at first but he seemed to enjoy it so what could I do - just watch and make sure he didn't eat any of it!

Baby Genius

Tucker figured out how to open the buffet, so Libby got out the child locks and put it on. The next morning he noticed the lock, crawled up to it, and in about 20 seconds had it off to play with. He also likes to read, and I approve of his choice of reading material. He did that all on his own, I found him like that and grabbed the camera. Finally a great pic of Libby and Tucker at the park in Oak Park, the day we couldn't get into Kiddieland.

Do you hear that?

While at the photo shoot, I was surprised to see an Avenger, T6 and a Mustang go overhead. A few minutes later when the B-17 went over, I knew something was up. So after the shoot, I stopped by the airport for lunch and some unexpected Mustang oogling. 

Photo Shoot

We had a photo shoot today for Tangerine Scream, but since I was early to the location, I decided to have some fun with my sorely neglected Chevelle. She must have been appreciative, because look how awesome she looks!

All the World's a Stage

We took the wagon to the last Elmhurst cruise night on Wednesday, and as usual, he was hamming it up. It was pretty hilarious. Developed a freeze plug leak on the way home. That was less hilarious.
