As you may or may not know, I was born and raised in the Chicagoland area. My wife, son and I are visiting my parents (who live in Chicago) for Christmas. Man, I forgot how cold it gets up here! I’m taking lots and lots of pictures that I’ll be able to post as I get the chance. Though I’ll probably not be posting as much as I’d like because I want to spend as much time as possible with my family, I’m sure you understand. But I’m not going to leave without giving you one visual of our 13(!) hour drive from Atlanta to Chicago. Here’s a picture of Thomas after sitting for 10 hours straight in his car seat. I’m amazed he was in such a good mood. Though it does look as if he’s about to throw that sippy cup at my head.
