Copperfield

After growing up watching "The Greatest Magician Ever!" on the tele, it was quite the event to see David Copperfield live at Rosemont Theater this weekend. There's no doubt about it, he does put together a very entertaining show even if some of the tricks had been seen before. After seeing him on Friday night and hearing the feedback from in-laws who went on the Saturday night, we were able to figure out (a little) how he pulled of some of his tricks; let's just say that not all the audience participation is off the cuff. Oh well, at least we were mesmerized in the moment.

Still Hunting Houses

The task of looking for a new home is most definitely much harder the second time around. We found our first home on the first day of looking; it was the second condo we looked at and we put in an offer that same day. A little too fast you might think, but we've had no regrets and considering the headache we're enduring this time around I wish we had the same sort of luck. We did put in an offer for a nice place in Deerfield. Amazingly it was accepted pretty fast, but the subsequent inspection turned up a can of worms. I can freely share that homes with EIFS exteriors are best avoided and flat roofs are generally not a good idea in the Midwest (never mind the rest of the country). So of course we withdrew the offer pretty quick.

The past couple of weeks, we've had a reprieve from the hunt thanks to Inna heading off to France for Spring Break. Enjoyed my first ever stint as a single parent and that was a lot easier than everybody had warned. So I guess I should be all prepared for when she goes to Mexico City for three weeks in the summer.

Danny is showing signs of turning two real soon; he's a cranky little bat most of the time! Whatever happened to the little angel we had?
