It was a great time documenting Bridget and Patricks wedding, and I’m not just saying that. They, along with their friends and family, were a dynamic and lively bunch and it shows in the photos. Congratulations to you two!

Chicago Blizzard of 2011

The morning after the blizzard, I grabbed a camera and explored my new, snow-covered (20 inches!) neighborhood and took some photographs. I wasn’t the only one excited to get out and play in the snow, several other people had the same idea. Since majority of the sidewalks were not yet shoveled the best method of travel was by walking down the empty streets. It was surreal.

Adelaide : The Next Evel Knievel : 21-Months-Old

Man, it’s hard to believe my daughter Adelaide is going to turn 2-years-old in three short months. She is growing like a weed, and becoming quite fearless.

I recently gathered some of Adelaide’s outgrown clothes & toys and headed to the nearby Salvation Army to donate them. While we were there, I found this awesome jelly bean covered kid’s helmet made by Nutcase (great name, BTW). Adelaide put the helmet and loved it. $2? SOLD!

No, I don’t make her wear the helmet in the house, she voluntarily put it on before riding (ghost-riding?) her firetruck scouter.icon smile Adelaide : The Next Evel Knievel : 21 Months Old
