And when this baby and future children are old enough, I'll look forward to showing them Chicago too.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431706155081017734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-64145056831170029972009-12-09T01:58:30.380-06:002009-12-09T01:58:30.380-06:00I was born abroad and raised in the USA.

I consider myself a full blown American; all of my schooling was here, the media I consumed, the friends I made throughout my life, my perception of the world completely molded by being in this nation. <br /><br />That being said, I'm not of the mindset that where your child is born determines whether he's a Texan or Chicagoan. He's being raised in Texas and Texas is the state he'll remember attending elementary school in and being forced to learn Texas history. Kind of have to admit that he's bound to be a Texan unless you move him anytime soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-38613072650479827152009-12-08T21:49:52.143-06:002009-12-08T21:49:52.143-06:00"I can't wait to bring my little Chicagoa..."I can't wait to bring my little Chicagoan to visit his birthplace one day.

I'm thinking that my charm, as recounted by your deft English touch, could be used to find me a girlfriend. A blog read (one presumes) mostly by new mothers would be a great place to spread the word. Let me know if I should send you my business or personal CV. ~DDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13776707275272082075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-65647496105137415162009-12-08T15:00:44.915-06:002009-12-08T15:00:44.915-06:00That's cute that you will have a "chicago...That's cute that you will have a "chicago baby" and a "Texas baby"- ha ha ha.
