Oscar's first digs

So the flurry of nesting that should have followed a 7-month pregnant Kristie moving into a new place complete with a nursery took a little detour. We moved in on March 15th, and despite the landlord's assurances, we found the bathroom floors undone, no working shower, no kitchen sink, and the contractor's equipment still on the back porch.





There is a happy ending, though, as all of the undone work was finished fairly quickly, and Kristie has been able to concentrate on filling the apartment with new things. The smallest room in the house has also started to come together (after a couple of thrilling trips to Baby's R Us), and some of the gear is already getting test driven by our current residents.

Future Soccer Fan?



Mike and I spent a night at the Chicago Fire's new stadium, Toyota Park (although the picture looks fake). I know he was hoping that it would ensure his son's future love of soccer. We got to tour the park and locker rooms, meet some of the Chicago sports writers, and have our picture taken in one of the boxes. I am sure that we will be back to the stadium in the future to watch some games!
