as a kid,
on one or two of my less than stellar days,
my nana used to say to me:
"Dear, Dear, Dear,
you Wear Me OUT!"
it was always said in her gentle Nana way,
but as a parent now...well...
let's just say i appreciate her restraint.
chicago can be similar.
though, instead of being less than stellar,
it is Very, Very Stellar.
particularly now that we have 2 family units to visit.
so many pictures, people. so many.
several posts are in your future.
this time round, we went to the north household first.
cue: stevie, LaLa and the ever-present Logie.
as my somewhat L-less son says,
"yots and yots of fun!"
