Chicago Brings Smashing Good Times!!!

This blog is really long because we have had quite the adventure the last little while and so have lots to report on. That's right, as of last Monday (the 3rd) we are in the market for a new car. Our poor little car didn't stand a chance against the hit and run SUV.
We feel quite blessed as the injuries could have been much worse. David, who was in the car was perfectly fine. Sue Ann, on the other hand, was not so lucky as she broke her arm and had to have it operated on as well as her wrist.
And if you didn't notice from the picture above she also took quite a blow to her face. (We think that maybe the airbag pushed her arm into her face. Whatever happened it might have been a lot worse if it wasn't for the airbag.)
During the previous week and over Labor Day weekend we had our first out of town visitor. None other then one of David's favorite Aunts, Joanne! We had a lot of fun with her.

She spoiled all three of us as she took us to the sights around town. Here is the Hancock Observatory with the fastest elevator in America, capable of advancing up the 94 floors in just a little over 30 seconds!

The view from the top of the observatory is fantastic, the Sears Tower is the tall building behind us.
David, of course, was the most spoiled of all. Here he is with his new favorite toy, a plastic chicken.
On Labor Day (the third) we celebrated Joanne's birthday. (Actually in usual Salmon fashion we made the cake on Sunday and celebrated it then but it is the thought that counts)
I think both Joanne and David enjoyed each other quite a bit. Considering it was their first time meeting they seemed to get along quite well . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . at least most of the time.
And now, since no blog would be complete without a few pictures of David we will give and update on how he is doing.
He is having a lot of fun out here and is getting acquainted with the neighborhood dog.
Also, David is now able to stand on his own! (I admit that it is only for a split second but you take what you can get)
Here is a video put on based on the request of David's Grandma Salmon who is now here to help out for awhile which we are very grateful for. I am sure our neighbors below us are more than fed up with the constant banging, we try to put blankets under his feet but he just scoots away.

That's all for today. With Sue Ann only having one hand and Scott being back in school we don't know when we will be able to post a blog again but don't stay away for too long.
