I picked out my Halloween costume this year, and decided I would be a pumpkin.

Long Time No See

I heart Guitar Center.


Summer BBQ with friends.


Throwing rocks at Lake Michigan.

Austin, TX

Playing Chris's drums, and scaring Chris and Lisa's dog Wilson.

Hard at work at the Austin Children's Museum.

Kurt and Noah were there, too.

My dad and Chris managed to replicate Godfather's taco pizza!

At the Austin Zoo.

My favorite animal at the Austin Zoo: the prairie dog.

I fell asleep on the plane ride home, and didn't wake up until half-way through our cab ride home. Had a great trip. Thanks Chris, Lisa and Wilson and Kurt, Meredith, Noah and Ruby!

Picture Day

Asleep at the Wheel

My refusals to take a nap earlier in the day made me so tired that I couldn't make it through the grocery store Saturday afternoon.

Ghostbusties

My dad makes me do the dumbest things.

Rolling in the Chi

We Expect Big Things

Our Little Cutie-Pie

Going down the slide at the Garfield Park Conservatory.




A day at the Chicago Children's Museum with Ila girl.




Me and mommy at Navy Pier.

Christmas '08 and Beyond

Been pretty busy lately; here's what I've been up to:

Shoveling lots of snow.

Visits with Santa.


Decorating the Christmas tree.


Hanging out with my new pet dinosaur, Juniper. (Courtesy of the Volks. Thanks, dudes.)

Frigid visits to the park. Brrr. But we had fun.

Santa brought me, among countless other things, a cool firetruck on Christmas.



And my Aunt Tisha, Uncle Jeff and cousin Sophie got me this super awesome guitar!



And, then, almost immediately, I was able to adeptly play VU songs!



And spinning!



Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Nice Weekend

Yummy Sultan's Market.


Ride 'em cowboy.

My Summer Vacation by Mascis Jaybird

Here are some pictures from my summer vacation 2008. Check out my Thomas tattoo.


Hi Nana and Papa. This is after I was throwing a fit.


Check out Thomas in the background.


Here I am in my stylin' hat and T-shirt. Check in tomorrow for a picture of my "back-to-school" haircut.

-love, Jaybird
