Introducing Peyton!
This is our beautiful nephew, Peyton! We met him yesterday as Sissy and Steve were on their way home! Samantha and Steve are doing well and Peyton is healthy and beautiful. We are headed to their house on Wednesday to spend more time with him. I'll post more pictures then.

Christmas 2010
We had a fantastic Christmas at the lake house in North Carolina. We got snowed in! It was a tremendous amount of snow, which we are used to, but it was so peaceful and quiet that it felt like a completely different experience. We built a snowman and went sledding down the driveway. We got to spend lots of time with Gram and Papa and Aunt Julie and Uncle Gus, as well as Savannah and McColl. And Aunt Betsy and Uncle Ryan visited for several days too! It was so great to see everyone. Lily had a ball with her cousins and her new Elmo, her books, and her horn!

The Carousel
Here's Lily on the carousel at the Lincoln Park Zoo. It may be her favorite place on Earth!
Lily's Second Birthday
I am so sorry it's taken so long to post these photos of Lily's second birthday. She had a ball.

Happy Halloween from Mike Ditka
Please note that the mustache is secured to the pacifier.
Also pictured is the totally rad Elmo pumpkin that Joe carved.

Lily at the Lake
We hope everyone had a great 4th! We had a blast at the lake in North Carolina. It always flies by. Lily went tubing and canoeing for the first time. Papa will have her up on skis by the time she's six, we have no doubt.

We are still here...
I'm so sorry about the lack of posts. I promise, I'm back. We've started the summer with the stomach flu and then a virus that has made every one of us sick, so there hasn't been a lot of extra time. But, everyone is better now and we are excited about getting some new pictures of the peep up.
These are from Mother's Day. Please forgive the shot of my chest. We weren't situated before the machine started snapping photos!
More to come soon.

Happy Birthday Gramps
Happy Birthday Butch!
It is a great joy to watch you with Lily.
Don't worry, I won't tell everyone that when you are with her you melt into a pile of gooey, heart shaped, puppy love.
I won't tell everyone that you aren't as tough as you look and that all it takes is one smile from your granddaughter to make you float on air.
And I won't tell Lily that she has you completely and utterly wrapped around her finger. (Something tells me that she'll figure that out on her own).
You are a wonderful grandpa and we love you!
