B is for Bunso. B is for Bella.

bunso: buns´o' n., youngest in the family

I love this photo of my little Bella. We were at Borders in Uptown when she saw the huge "B" on the building across the street. I love the way she is silhouetted and has her hand on the window, looking out. These small moments with my child seem insignificant, yet they will be the ones that will remain in my memory forever.

Soon, my bunso will be grown up and will leave me to be out on her own. But I will remember her being this small. She is so funny, so sweet, so pretty, so genuine, so happy. It's that magical time in your life when you are truly free. Kids are only young once and if I miss this, I may never have chances like this again with my child.

Thanks Bella. :D

Father's Day 2008

I spent my father's day goofing around with my kids... our favorite thing to do. Bella, Max, Dillon and me were playing Webkinz Olympics in the backyard and making all sorts of silly scenarios while I took photos and video. Chloe did not partake as she is a teenager now and as such, at that age where goofiness with elementary school kids is not her favorite thing to do.
Thanks Bella, Maxwell, Dillon and Chloe. You're the best kids any father could ever have. You make life fun and silly :D I loves ya!

boys day off at the Cubs game

I took my boys to the friendly confines of Wrigley Field to see the Chicago Cubs beat the San Diego Padres 4-0. It was nice to see the Cubs beat those Padres as I will never forget Steve Garvey's game-winning home run in the ninth inning of the decisive Game Five of the 1984 NL Championship Series... killing the hopes of a Cubs world series.
We had a good time despite the cold wind blowing in and the Bob Uecker seating. Of course, all the boys wanted to do was eat cotton candy. Fun times!

Maxwell's 6th Birthday Party

Maxwell is now 6 years old! His Fear Factor birthday party was a ton of fun for all the kids who went through obstacle races, finding an eyeball in a bucket of liquid goo, eating mystery liver and 30 day old moldy cheese, and picking spiders out of a big bowl of worms with your teeth! Alyssa and Aidan were the big winners of the Fear Factor prize! Congratulations!
Maxwell would like to thank all who came and for all the presents.
