Upton park playground part 2

Upton Park playground part 1

Nina had a great time in the park playground at the end of our street. We'll be spending a lot of time there this coming spring and summer.




In the swimming pool with daddy

Daddy and Nina are both member of the same fitness club, where they have a great indoor and outdoor pool. To get ready for the summer, they take a dip every week. A first Nina was not so sure about all that water, but now she's splashing around like fish!

Outdoors over the weekend

The weather was good to us over the weekend so finally an opportunity to get some real fresh air. No playing in the grass yet, but on the bike is almost just as much fun.




St. Patrick's Day Chicago 2009

It was not really St. Patrick's Day yet, but here they celebrate it the Saturday before the actual day so off we went downtown Chicago to see the river coloured green, Irish green that is, and people dressed up in green, lines outside pubs, green beer etc. Nina had a great time and even got herself a temporary green tattoo: not bad for a not even 1.5 year old girl!




Nina and her phone

Toy phones are only OK, mama's phone is the real thing and just so much better. Nina can talk for hours to her imaginary friend on the other side of the line in a language only they can understand. She loves it!
