Sweet Home, Chicago.

Hi, family! Starting in October you'll have seven fewer hours to drive to see yours truly. 

This morning I accepted a job with The Urban Network at the University of Chicago and am moving back to the windiest of cities! (I also thought it would be good to prepare for Shopping Weekend 2012 and set up camp early.)

Happy Birthday, Daddy Dave!

Steve Owens... hatching the plan for David's 53rd birthday celebration....

Hey, family!

I can't make it in person for Megan's coming nuptials, so I'm looking for volunteers to facetime me in for the ceremony. Hannah thought she might need an internet connection for the program; can anyone do it on 3G? I'd love to be able to attend from DC!

Welcome, Baby Emma!!

Istanbul!

Some teaser photos from my trip. It was completely awesome and you all are lucky that I managed to come back. Or not, because then you'd have a great excuse to visit Istanbul (not that its existence isn't enough). In any case, if you'd like to see more, check these out.
