Chicago

We travelled to Chicago for Genie and Derek's wedding.

Clara's first plane ride.  We were asked "Did you sedate her or are you just lucky?".
We're just lucky that she's a great traveller!

We got to Chicago, checked into our hotel downtown... and took a nap!



Clara got to see Chiana, Dave, Genie and Derek.


Millenium Park

She loved spending time with Grandma and Grandpa Flash.

Our outdoorsy girl

I took Clara out on the deck for 3 minutes and while holding her in my arms a bird pooped on her head!!



Protecting her eyes from the sun… and travelling in style!

Her first ride in the Nautique, in her baby Ray"bands".

Enough with the pictures already! I'm hungry!

Clara's nursery

Clara's safari nursery, with some treasures we found for her in Kenya and Tanzania including the mosquito net, baskets, mobile.  The photos on the wall are ones that Andy took over the years.  Grandpa Flash made the rocking horse.

Lala salama is Swahili for "sleep peacefully".
