New Post

Dylan hasn't had new post on her blog for a long time now... but its not her fault. Her parents have been really busy trying to buy a house and haven't been documenting enough of her.

So, on the eve of her birthday, here is a picture from the lost month of August 2009.

Dylan's Future Cousin Has a Blog

Dylan's Uncle Kevin and Aunt Kate are having a baby and have a new blog to document all the baby things. It was just one year ago that Dylan's dad went to their wedding while Emily was at home 8 months pregnant. When asked to comment... Dylan contemplated the meaning of another cousin and said "da"... which of course means she's really excited.

Dylan Goes to Practice

Dylan went to watch the Chargers practice this weekend at the Fan Fest. Like usual, she was more interested in waiving to everyone sitting around us than in watching the game. Oh well... here is a pic...

Dylan Visits Zoo, Gets Attacked by Animal!!

Dylan got to go to the zoo today.. but unfortunately she got picked up by one of the animals. She's lucky to have made it out alive. Here is a picture of the dangerous encounter..



This is the rare Ursus Gradius (or "Grady Bear") a large hairy bear of slightly Irish persuasion, known to inhabit the South Side of Chicago. According to eyewitness accounts, the Grady Bear swooped in and grabbed little Dylan while she was snacking on a yogurt bite. Luckily Dylan is ok. The status of the bear is unknown.

Uncle Eddie Returns from Deployment

Dylan celebrated the return of her Uncle Eddie from the coasts of Somalia on Monday night. Fun was had by all and Dylan even got the chance to see her cousin Arabella walk around. Dylan was very jealous.

Here are a couple of pictures of Dylan, Eddie, and Arabella, in various stages of excitement.
