Grandma and Grandpa Shimkus head back to Chicago tomorrow after a nice visit. Nate will miss all their cuddles and kisses, Cinnamon will miss their constant pets and belly rubs and Mommy and Daddy will miss their babysitting and home-cooked meals!

"There's no crying in baseball!"
Every Shimkus man must learn to love their Chicago sports teams like the Cubbies at a young age so they can learn to deal with disappointment and manage expectations—"it keeps you humble," says Grandpa Shimkus. Daddy even likens being a Cubs fan to a lycanthropic/werewolf curse, handed down from generation to generation. Still, win or lose, they all proudly love their Cubbies. Here is Nate watching his very first Cubs game with Grandpa ... "Hey, Nate: what do you say? The Cubs are gonna win today!"

Enter the Reinforcements
Grandma and Grandpa Shimkus arrived today at long last and got to meet Nate and give him lots of hugs and kisses. The first grandchild on the Shimkus side, he's getting lots of love - and so is Cinnamon!

Happy 4th!
We didn't mean to name our son after a hotdog (even though our nephew Liam suggested Hotdog as a name), but that didn't mean we would skip a 4th of July tradition and not watch the hot dog eating contest. And it was a record-breaker! What better way for Nathan to show his love for America? Thanks Grandma Perell for participating in our inaugural Google Hangout video chat and the patriotic onesie to celebrate.

Taste so Neat
A fun gift for Nate from our friend, Matt. Amazingly, Daddy hasn't broken into these yet and they remain (like his action figures and collectibles) MIB.*
