Brady's 9 month pics!

I've been lagging in my updates lately and I do have some great pics of Brady eating, crawling and doing other silly business that I need to get up here... but I just couldn't wait to upload these great pics we got today of Brady for his 9 month "birthday". He's such a handsome little man- he'll be 1 before we know it!

NBA in Vegas

We were out in Vegas over Labor Day for Heather's brother's 21st bday. While we were out there, Mike, his buddy Adam, and myself jumped in a cab and headed over to a local gym where my cousin works. He trains NBA players in the off-season...rough life, huh?

We sat and watched a casual game of 5-on-5...all 10 guys are NBA players. It ranged from guys like Tayshaun Prince to Austin Daye to Rudy Gay. Sorry, I'm a terrible photog and didn't get many good pics.

My cousin Andrew is the red-haired guy sitting on the bench next to the guy in the Pirates hat. On the court, that's Tayshaun Prince with the left hand in the air, Tyronn Lue with the ball, guarded by Rudy Gay:


J.R. Smith (he didn't miss many shots) is in red shorts on the far right and Tayshaun again in the foreground:


Mike, Adam, and myself outside the gym:

Getting into the groove... sort of!

Three weeks ago I said "so long" to the only job I've ever known... to work for the toughest boss I've ever had! Brady and I are testing each other's boundaries and so far, I think he's ahead :) But I'm happy to be home to see him learn and grow; truly an opportunity of a lifetime.

It was hard to say good-bye to Leo Burnett and the co-workers I've spent so much time with over the last 9 years. Who knows... I may be back :)

Smoochin' the fridge!

Check out the mullet!

First Sox Game

Just like the zoo and the map (see prior post), we think Brady had a better time playing with the ticket stub, than he did with the game entertainment. We got to the game during the 5th inning and left in the 7th inning. Oh well...still some great pics from our first trip to the park...many more to come.

Lions, Tigers, and Bears...

We got a bit adventurous this weekend and took a quick trip to the Brookfield Zoo. Weather was nice and cool...so we avoided heat induced temper tantrums. Mom and Dad had a good time reliving our junior high field trips....and got some good pics for Brady to remember this fun day.

We're pretty sure Brady had more fun with the map, than anything else...

We think he saw a monkey!
