Week 8: Landscape

There is something really beautiful about Chicago at Dusk. This time of year the lack of sunlight starts to really bring me down but lately the days have been staying lighter a little longer. When I leave the office in the evening I get to enjoy the last bit of sun reminding me that the warmer weather is coming.

6+7/52

So I know that I missed the past two weeks of photos but in my defense my computer charger stopped working and I didn't have a way to charge it for awhile. I know that this is week 8 so I'll have to post another photo in the next couple days to fully catch up. With spring around the corner I hope I get myself out and about with my camera more. I say this as I check the 10 day weather forecast that shows below 20 degrees and snow coming our way...

Week 6: "Baby" hands

Week 7: My Favorite "red" head perfecting her duck face

I Gotta Get Out of Here

My cousin Kevin and I exchanged texts last night expressing our need to get out of the city we live in and go on vacation. He live in Boston so neither of us have had a good winter.

Thankfully my family is headed to San Francisco this weekend for my cousin John's wedding. It is suppose to rain the whole time we are there but its also going to be in the upper 50s and for  us midwesterners this is basically a heat wave. I am crossing my fingers and toes that the weather doesn't impact us getting out because I really really need to get out of here these days.

Dreaming of warmer days....

She Just Needs To Cry

My mom lost a good friend this weekend and I don't think I have ever seen her so sad. My mom is a tough lady.  She is someone who has the "get over it" and "keep going attitude." That is not to say that she wasn't also a loving, compassionate and empathetic mother. Simply put, my mom is strong.

When I called her after I heard the news she started crying on the phone. It hurt to hear her cry. As my siblings all text back and forth worried about my mom my brother Michael put it simply by saying "She just needs to cry." He was right, she really did just need to cry.

Love, love, love
