Kevin, David and a bunch of fools in Lake Michigan. (David insists on wearing his hats backwards.)
Poor Alma got stuck in the Seattle airport for 36 hours due to storms in Chicago and United's incompetence, so we were nanny-less on Monday. Kevin stayed home with David in the morning, and then took him in to the 'flex until I could get there. David was very very happy to see her back on Tuesday and is completely enamoured with the toy school bus and t-shirt she brought him.
Thursday Alma had jury duty, so Grandma Maas spent the day with David. They hung out at GG's house, ate a lot (that is probably implied given that they were with Lil) and played hockey.
Friday we had a play date with my friend Dalia and her son Gabe. That evening we did family haircuts (David still requires a straight jacket for haircuts) and dinner with Grandma and Grandpa.
As usual, David stayed busy over the weekend. After taking a dive off the kitchen counter in the morning (he's fine...Kevin still hasn't recovered), he rebounded for a trip to the Field Museum.

Last night we went to the White Sox game and had a great time. Not only did the Sox win, but David selected a new hat and shirt for himself. He also really enjoyed their FUNdamentals area where kids can practice throwing, hitting, fielding and running. His favorite by far was racing a cutout of Scott Podsednik to first base. We waited in a very long line and thought for sure he would refuse to run when he realized he had to do it by himself, but as soon as I told him he was next, he was off like a shot. He didn't actually wait for the kid in front of him to finish or for cardboard Pods to be ready to race, but he had a huge smile on his face the entire 90 feet. We wrapped it up with fireworks after the game and a nice trip home on the green line during which David entertained his fellow passengers with grins and sideways glances.
The 3 of us at the game (please note our autumn-like attire). David two fisting ballpark food.
David practicing his swing in kids area and sound asleep (finally!) on the way home from the green line.
Today we went to church and ran some errands in the morning. After David's nap we went (where else?) to the zoo. Today's highlights were a gorilla eating its own poop and a couple of camels wrestling. We stopped at Oberweis on the way home and finished off the weekend with David's first bath since Wednesday. (I wish I was kidding.)
David checking out the zebras and showing off his mad climbing skills. Watching the camels with Kevin.

So where's the green polar bear cap? Has it been retired and the White Sox cap taken its place? Nahnee and Rama are crushed!!!
Last time I checked, he's wearing the green polar bear cap in the first picture. Also, when we went to the zoo and asked him what color the polar bear was, he said "green and white." Indeed.
David looks so grown up in his 2 1/2 year old picture. Emily did a double take as she glanced his picture on the computer. Hope you all are doing well. We all go back to school tomorrow. There's a lot of excitement in my house right now. Hopefully the same will be true early tomorrow morning! :)

He is a hat man after his Great-uncle Bruce's heart. Love the green one. The white sox hat is just so-so. a hat should have some pizazzzz! Think we will need to send him a special one from Bruce's collection.
Hugs and love, Great-aunt Judy
seeing David with the drums made me think to ask -- do you still play the violin?
