Brookfield Zoo
We spent a beautiful Sunday at Brookfield Zoo with the Martin’s. Emma and Charlie enjoyed running through the zoo and looking at the lions. Charlie’s favorite part of the zoo was the goats in the petting zoo. We used lots of hand sanitizer yesterday!
Charlie had so much fun, he was out before we made it to the car!

In Memory of Uncle Eddie
Last week we lost someone very special. Uncle Eddie always lived his life to the fullest and was always up for a good laugh. After the blizzard last February, he was at an Italian restaurant enjoying dinner and drinks with his many friends. The restaurant had an original cow statue from the famed Chicago Cows on Parade exhibit. He tried unsuccessfully to get someone to take a picture on the cow.
Six month later, this restaurant happened to be around the corner from where we said good-bye to Uncle Eddie and during his wake last Tuesday we went over there for a drink and Charlie did what no one else could do that night -- he took a picture on the cow. I know Uncle Eddie would be proud!

Five Guys and Charlie
Charlie and I were on our own for dinner last week, so I thought I would treat him to his first Five Guys hamburger. It started out well (as you can see), but ended with him throwing fries!
Charlie in a Box - Part II
Charlie is always ready to pose for the camera-- even while relaxing in a box!
