Sugar cookies and lemonade for breakfast at Barnes and Nobles.

New McDonalds have free game kiosks instead of playgrounds.

She really likes Daddy to pick her up!

I like the beach on Lake Michigan. My baby and me walked on the sand in Michigan City, IN last month. You can see Mt. Baldy and the Chicago skyline from there. When we were leaving, two surfers got into the water. They must have been cold. The wind was blowing hard and sand would sting us as it hit. The birds were flying forward, but remained stationary in the wind. Magdalena loved watching them and so did I.

This is my baby and me, hanging out in the dining room. She is almost two and may be two and a half when she becomes a big sister. We asked her if she wanted a little brother and she said, “uhn uh”. So then we asked if she wanted a little sister and again she said, “uhn uh.” We thought she might have just been on a roll so we began asking her more yes and no questions which all resulted in the same answer so it is hard to say how she really feels about a sibling or if she even understands. I like her innocence.
