The last time I met little Brooke she was a newborn babe, all soft skin and sleepy eyes. Now, six months later she’s still in possession of that cashmere-soft skin, but her eyes are as bright, blue and inquisitive as can be. On a crisp fall day in Chicago’s Lincoln Park she showed them off for me, along with her delightful smile. We meandered along the sentimental paths that Chicagoans love, reminiscing about the time her dad asked her mom to marry him in this very park. And so: Brooke discovered leaves for the first time and the city & Jean Gang’s pavilion played the parts of perfect photography backgrounds. Mom & Dad told their engagement story and cuddled their sweet baby girl. And all the while all I could think was well isn’t this the most perfect morning in Chicago with the most lovely little family?
