Our Toddler in that Toddling Town

Fresh-brewed Dunkin' Donuts coffee with a shot of obscenely fattening cream; lip-numbing, ulcer-inducing Buffalo Joe's hot wings; mozzarella layered with mozzarella and then topped with mozzarella in a scrumptious Chicago stuffed pizza; Whit's first jaunt to the taxidermy wonderland that is the Field Museum, with its 21 million specimens that all smell like they were doused in mothball juice; a visit with my old ortho staff and some of the best nurses with whom I have ever worked; and long chats with the dearest of friends and family. Nothing beats Chicago and the special people in our lives with whom our conversations always pick up right where they left off, as if no time has passed at all.

Great Grandma Jean and Whit get some cuddle time
