Dress Up

This week Emily has a new found love of playing dress up. I just love opening the door after "naptime" to see what outfits she has come up with!

Sox Fan

Brian and Andrew had the opportunity to go to a White Sox game this past Sunday....It's a good thing he is so cute, other wise this cubs fan would have a hard time loving this picture! More pictures from the game to come...

Our Young Author

We were so excited when Kelli was selected as one of the Young Author winners at her school earlier this year.






As a winner, Kelli was invited to read her story at our annual Book Fair this past Thursday. We made a family event out of it and we were so proud of our shy little girl! Each day amazes us as she continues to come out of her shell and excel in so many different arenas.

Anxiously awaiting for her turn to read!

If you know Kelli, you know that reading in front of a crowd is a huge thing for her, and with a microphone no less!!

Her classmate and friend and fellow Young Author winner!

Kindergarten and 1st grade winners

Brian took us to McDonald's for celebratory ice cream sundaes. I was one proud momma!

It cannot be true!

Today is April 14th (well it was when I started this!!), and that means Nathan is 10 months old today. It seems as if I blinked the moment he was born and BOOM now here we are 10 months later. I have said it before, but I am in love with this boy! He has me wrapped around his chubby little fingers. I cannot believe that we will soon be planning his 1st birthday party....oh my gosh, no it cannot be true! Where is the pause button...

Here is a glimpse of his yumminess...

















Kelli has become my little photographer in training...She took this one for me...turned out to be one of my favorites of the day!

What happens when you try to force an 8 year old boy to take pictures with his mom...
