Our Kitchen

For those of you I've talked to about our living arrangements might have felt bad for me because I made it sound bad. Really it's not bad it's just I was thinking I'd have a place more like we did last summer and this place just doesn't compare. To relieve you from any worries take a look at the clip of our kitchen, the worst part of the apartment in my mind. I'll try to get shots or clips of some of our other areas later but for now her is a taste of life in our chicago apartment!

CHICAGO

Wow, life has been flown by since arriving in Chicago. Chris is enjoying the work and the atmosphere of the big firm and Jared and I are enjoying our days having a daily outing to the park or beach for both of us to keep our sanity. The only hard part about Chicago is not having the friends we left behind. When Jared and I are at the park and I'm talking to another mom I'm half tempted ask if she'd be my friend! But really it's not bad it just makes you appreciate the friends you do have.

This last week started off on Monday Chris emailing me asking if I wanted to go to a White Sox Yankee game that evening. I was a little hesitant since we'd just been to the cubs and braves game the Saturday before but decided it's not every day you get to see the Yankees play for a good price. So Jared and I set off to meet Chris downtown for our rainy, fun filled evening where we sat so high we were covered from the downpour. Our seats were good though and we actually enjoyed the game a little more than our beloved braves game due to the fact we weren't in the heat! Both games came out for a win for us. The Braves beat the Cubs and the White Sox beat the Yankees. Sorry Jim I'm not much of a Yankee fan...

Later on Saturday we were off to visit Millenium Park where we saw the gian t mirrored bean and played awhile in the 1/2 inch wading pool. Then we went to Sears Tower and saw Chicago "from above". It was all fun and Jared was ready for his nice three hour nap when we finally got home a little after 2:00.

Finals Season

Doesn't Jared look great with his new style?? Currently, I am very busy studying for finals. I have four finals and this semster 3 of the 4 are closed book, so it will be stressful. I still have been able to make some time and follow the Braves. It seems like this season they will be put back in their right spot as National League East Division Champs. Besides following the braves we went and watched teh Blue and White Scrimmage. The best part was when Naomi and Jared fell asleep on the way home. Kenya shorly followed after. Marjorie was busy because she had watch Kenya and Naomi this past weekend.

I have made an exectuvie decision: in a small aparment you can never have more than 2 kids under the age of 5 at a time or you will go crazy. I was lucky I escaoed o the law school Marjorie was at home the whole time.

Jared has been great. He is saying more words each day. His best phrase is probably "up please", meaing pick me up and set me down when you are already holding him. Also, Jared has learned how to throw.

Things Jared threw today at Church:

A turtle (twice to the people in front of us)

A container of crakers (just over the head of the baby sitting next to us

A diaper (a new diaper and to the 3 couples sitting behind us who all laughed)

I am sure that will not be last action by Jared.

Finally I guess I should mention the Outcome of the tourney Challenge IV.

Jared and Grace Playing in Crib

Jared's Mini Easter Egg Hunt

Jared's Breakfast

Ducks and BYU basketball, what more could you want?

Before the BYU v. Utah game we took Jared to see the ducks at the botany pond. Little did we know that every chance he got he ran straight for the water and would have went in if it wasn't for us. At the game BYU dominated Utah. It was fun game and BYU clinched the outright MWC championship. It makes me excited for "Meservy Challenge IV". I hope everyone will be prepared to finish behind me this year!!!

Parking Lot Playground

Here is Marjorie and Jared outside in our parking lot. He would be outside most of the day if he could.

On February 23rd Grandma Bingham shares her birthday with Jared's newest cousin, Megan Cook. Jared was the youngest grandbaby for more than 14 months before being knocked out of his rank. But he doesn't seem to mind too much. In fact he yelled and cried when we took Megan away. He is quite fond of babies!

Jared is the center of our world
