Valentines day

I don't always know what gabe looked like or what he was doing a year ago, but I do remember last year at this time. He was an adorably juicy baby.










It used to be so easy. Just prop him up and shoot.

Now, I had to face tears and put on spongebob just to get and ok shot.










HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Museum time!

I love that I live in such a great city. There is so much to do! Today was another trip to the museum of science and industry. Gabe loves it because there are a lot of things to touch and interact with. We went with jorges sisters and Sidney.




Sidney and jasmin became clowns....




Gabe got to drive a tractor....




And he loved this cow. He kept walking around it saying "cow, cow, cow". So cute! I didn't even know that he could say cow.




We also stopped by the submarine. I wonder what is going thru his mind when he sees something like that. He kept getting closer and closer to the glass. Was it because he wondered if there was something between him and the ground? Or was it because he wanted to touch the boat? Who knows? I'm glad he looked like he was enjoying himself.



So much fun that he passed out before we were even on lake shore drive!

.....gabe loves chocolate just like his mommy.....

It's going around....

I haven't really posted anything in quite some time. If you really think about it, Wednesday was a blow off because it was just pictures. Let me tell you why I have been m.i.a.


I'm depressed. I'm sad. And I am not the only one. I have had some time today to go and check out some other blogs that I like, and surprisingly I was not the only one feeling this way. Now, don't get too worried. I'm not going to harm myself depressed, I'm not even gotta see a dr depressed. I'm just emotionally and physically tired depressed.


Last week was LONG. Conor and Jorge were both sick. I had gabe 24/7 (literally, since he still sleeps with us for a bit). I was looking forward to a weekend away with Jorge, a break from the world. I got sick. It's just a cold, but I felt like crap. All I wanted to do was lay in bed with some tea. Instead I got to go to galena. Now I sound like a brat, but I wanted to relax and recover like Jorge did.



Gabe while we were away...


Galena was nice, but we returned to some unfortunate news (that I knew was coming). Over the weekend two people had passed away. My dance teachers husband and my friends grandpa. So I came back and had a wake to go to on Monday and Tuesday. I think this also has alot to do with feeling sad. I cannot imagine losing jorge and we've only been together 12 years. Imagine spending over half of your life with someone and now they aren't there....


Ok, so now that I have bummed everyone else out, I feel a little better. Not because I bummed you out, but because I let it out. Maybe tomorrow I will do a little (and I'm talking little) retail therapy. Jorge does need a valentines day gift!



I watched my friends son yesterday so that she could be at the wake and these pictures are of gabe and Kyle. Too cute those two!
