leave it to the hippie to get silas to the mall in a snowstorm.

a bit of a push to the tush.

silas tries out an orange glow.

sprinting in a food court will wear a girl out.

watching said sprinting is also exhausting.

on saturday, we picked up the neighbors and hightailed it to the western suburbs to celebrate todd's birthday. at audrey's house.

silas enlists holmes to hold that note.

audrey's parents completely rock out and render silas speechless.

on sunday, we met out of towners at the field museum.

skunk on the loose! clear the play lab!

silas needs his reading glasses to properly find our next vacation destination on the globe.

those two attempt to kiss the stuffed bison in hopes of giving the sabres luck for the new year's day winter classic.

celebrating new years eve with friends. taking some time out to reflect on 2007.

getting in some last minute construction.

the party only got crazier after this photo.

silas silently pleads to be put to bed.

And I just love the orange glow shot.

the skunk vest was in the family play lab at the field museum. they had a whole variety of chicago wildlife costumes to choose from, but i felt the skunk was the quite sgt. pepper's era ringo and therefore well suited.

Hey these are nice! Poor Silas...he was so thwarted with the staying up late and the millions and millions of things he wasn't supposed to touch...
