We are the Bears Shufflin' Crew

Chicago is going to the Superbowl!

In other sports news, Jude hits a homerun, rounds the bases, and slides into home...

You may think we are conscientious parents and that thing on Jude’s head is a protective helmet he wears while playing baseball. But you would be mistaken… that is his hair. You might then think we are terribly neglectful parents for allowing our son to walk in public with such a mop in which case you are still mistaken. As much as we like his head shaved, we are purposely growing his hair out. Only problem is, Jude’s hair defies gravity. So unfortunately at this length, it continues to reach for the sky in classic chia pet fashion. If it doesn't go down, we will stage an intervention. But on the upside, the bedhead it produces every morning is fabulous.

I love playing with my boys and admit I am not a typical girl who loves make-up or buys lots of shoes and nice purses to change with my outfit. But as I was sliding into an imaginary home base while playing with Jude the other day, I commented to Kwang that it would be nice to have a daughter simply because if we don’t, I may be in danger of losing all the femininity in me. So the next day I had Jude sit with me during lunch as I perused my latest In Style magazine. Unfortunately, that didn’t make me feel much better. I suddenly felt very old when he pointed to a picture of Avril Lavigne and called her an ah-ju-mah.

As we sign off, Eli would like to bid you a fond farewell. It may not be the prettiest or most heartfelt wave, but our little pumpkin gets it.

dang, i can't believe you guys play baseball INSIDE your home!  your boys are so incredibly cute.  you do such a good job of being equal in the distribution of your love and affection for both of your boys, always.  i love eli's wave and praying hands.  =)  you may be "rough and tough" like your boys but you're still feminine and look it!!  umm, please do not subject jude to reading your in style magazines.  =P

oh my... how cute was that wave good bye, especially when mid-wave he looks at his hand and wonders what he's doing, then decides that it's better to chew on said hand than wave it... thanks for the laugh!!!
