Adventures in Chicagoland: February 2010
http://da-rew.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 3, 2010. No, I don't know why the videos keep getting messed up. I just fixed the one of him walking last night, and it's already broken again. Grrr. Tuesday, February 2, 2010. Riley got a fabulous box-o-gifts from his Uncle Dane and Stacey [living in Taipei] today. Upon opening we found a great hat [see below] and a funny squid puppet! We had a bit of a hat event! He's wearing my winter hat underneath this fancy straw hat that came in the box. He's also clutching the photos here.

Adventures in Chicagoland: June 2011
http://da-rew.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 22, 2011. Here's a shot of the B-17 in flight, over the back of the P-40. And here's the Liberty Bell pouring jet fuel on this nice man. The fire department was called. One house had 4 big trees topped off in it's front yard. Here's two topped trees. The evergreens seemed to take it especially hard. We got lucky that the two in the neighbor's yard didn't come down on us too. Every yard in the block had branches if not full trees down. The curb was a levee of broken limbs.

Adventures in Chicagoland: January 2010
http://da-rew.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 12, 2010. We're Doomed.part 2. Yesterday, Riley took his first few tentative steps between a table and the baby gate, without any suggestion from us. Today, he's walking a good 10ft with confidence. How does that happen so fast? It's actually a little strange to see him moving this way, I'm so used to seeing him crawling and cruising. And now I leave you with this parting shot, of mischief in action. Saturday, January 2, 2010. Sleep is for the healthy. Rew put him to work right away.

Monday, June 21, 2010. We've had a couple of nice culinary adventures as well. The food here is basically your typical Mediterranean style food. The real fun is in the deserts and sweets! Yesterday, we chanced upon a great find down a side street where there weren't any tourists. Riley made fast friends with a little girl who came over to our table to visit. They ran up and down the street together. I think he was glad for some littler person companionship! Saturday, June 19, 2010. Well, this is our firs...

Adventures in Chicagoland: August 2010
http://da-rew.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 16, 2010. Home Again and Last Good Summer Getaway. Wow, how the summer flies by! That probably has something to do with the fact that I spend most of it doing field work! We're back from our Yellowstone adventure, all in one piece and I even managed to get some great samples! When we would unite at the end of the day, he would be full of excitement chattering up a storm, so he clearly had a great time. School starts Monday. Woe is we. Now doesn't that look like fun? Riley and Abi playing c...

Adventures in Chicagoland: July 2011
http://da-rew.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 24, 2011. Back from the field. We've been trying to catch up all week. We took Riley to school on Weds, our first full day home, and we played hookey to grocery shop, do laundry, and see Harry Potter. Have to say, it's a little strange that those movies are over. Andrew and I have been watching them on the big screen for nearly all of our relationship! I mean really, who keeps a 2 year old in suspense with commercials like that? Do they think they have their own wallets? View my complete pro...

Adventures in Chicagoland: May 2010
http://da-rew.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 30, 2010. Riley's First Camping Trip! As the title implies, we went camping yesterday! This was Riley's first time in a tent [outside of me, that is]. It was a raging success. We went to White Pines State Park here in IL, and just stayed one night but met several of Riley's friends [and their assorted parents] there. Yesterday, we went on a short hike with the kids, which involved fording several small streams. The kiddos loved that part! Best part: there was a doggie at our campsite. We're a...

Adventures in Chicagoland: October 2010
http://da-rew.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 19, 2010. Well, it's been so long since my last update that it's nearly pointless to try and play catch up. I'll just sum up by saying, the semester began, we're busy as usual, and yay happy autumn! We've had several fun trips to St. Louis and Philadelphia [last free airplane trip! Been to the zoo and Arboretum a gazillion times, and have in general been trying to enjoy the outdoors before it gets cold! Here are some pictures of adventures since the last post, plus birthday stuff! For th...
