ahhh, a weekend at home with no plans. there were lots of naps taken, beers drank, sauerkraut eaten and new playgrounds explored.
silas helps sam install my birthday present - a bike seat for the boy.

taking pictures seemed like a better activitity than chewing on the screwdriver.

we're hoping he enjoys the ride better once his head grows a bit.

they didn't offer child sized beer steins. lame.

i do my best sam impersonation.

in the midst of baby's first official chicken dance.

washing down all that lager with some seaweed salad.

celebrating charlie's first birthday by banging on his toys.

claire and silas give sharing their best attempts.

the birthday boy puts in an appearance. happy birthday, charlie!!

Beer, bicycles, more beer, chicken dances, more beer. You really know how to have a good time in Chicago.

Glad to see Silas celebrating Baron Von Steuben! I have one of those mugs in my cupboard.

Do you think he could tell the bike helmet is for girls? Sure the Cubs stickers are nice, but really, is pink floral? :)

thanks for calling us out, kimberly. it was the only baby bike helmet the store had in stock. we'd figure we'd rather our baby be safe than picky.
