Weeeeeeee
Jack got a new Plasma car and he loves it! The technology is really cool because it distributes his weight in order to make the car propel forward.

To Infinity And Beyond!
Jack found last year's Halloween costume in the closet and immediately transformed into Buzz Lightyear. Keep your eyes peeled because you may see him flying by your house :)

Go Cubs Go!
Just because we don't live in Chicago anymore doesn't mean that our heart isn't still there. One of the things we miss the most in the summer is going to Wrigley Field to watch our beloved Cubbies lose game after game. It was such a special experience to take Jack to his first Cubs game and we really hope to do the same thing with the twins this summer.
For nostalgia's sake, here is a vintage pic of Daddy and Jack before his first Cubs game in May 2007.
If we can't actually be in Chicago, we will just pretend here in Virginia.

Family Field Day
Jack took a sports class at school at school this year and Saturday was the end of the year Family Field Day. The kids got to demonstrate some of the skills they learned and Jack was beyond excited to show us his "athletic" abilities ;) In all seriousness, he does seem to be athletic like his Daddy and loves golf like the rest of his extended family! He is so eager to play team sports and we are planning on getting him signed up for soccer and t-ball this fall.
The day wouldn't have been complete without The Trophy. Jack's name was engraved on it and it quickly became Jack's most prized possession :)
As a super surprise for the kids, Spiderman showed up. Could this day have been any better for Jack??!! He is still talking about meeting him!

What Are YOU Looking At?
Bumbos are great for twins because they can entertain each other and make each other laugh. Plus a baby in a Bumbo is just plain cute. Two babies in two Bumbos is exponentially cuter!

Tummy Time! Excellent!
Did you enjoy the baby version of the Bill and Ted's reference? Haha!
Anyhoo, look how big these boys are! The recently started rolling over which means my world is about to be altered in ways that can't even be described!
Notice the action shot of Henry's drool :)

Beach Babes
Beach weather is finally here! We headed to the bay with all 3 babes and Nana in tow (yes, we are adventurous!) and had such a great time. We were unsure how well the twins would do because it was 95 degrees outside but they loved it. In fact, we stayed for 3 hours!!
Jack had a blast and played the entire time. He and Nana captured sand crabs (which he insisted on bringing home in his bucket), played in the sand, and splashed in the water.
The twins took a nap
Will in the tent
Henry in Daddy's arms.
The twins were unsure of the water and wet sand at first but after a few minutes, they were splashing around and loving every second of it.
I think we have some beach babes on our hands!

God Bless Henry and William
Henry Bernard and William Gray were baptized on Sunday April 25th. We had such a great weekend celebrating with family and friends and feel so blessed to have these amazing boys in our lives.

Unfortunately the camera was set to manual when we first started using it at the church so the pictures of the twins with their godparents weren't focused. We managed to capture a few at the house afterward.
Will with his godparents Alison and Brendan. Don't worry, he really does like them. He just doesn't like cameras!!
Henry with his godparents Rick and Christy.
Thanks to all our friends and family for making it such a special weekend!

Will.I.Am
He doesn't always smile for the camera but we can occasionally capture it. His smile will literally brighten your day!

Who Needs to Hire a Gardener?
We don't need to hire gardeners or landscapers--we have Nana and Jack. Of course right after this picture was taken, Nana sprayed herself in the face with the hose and Jack ate dirt. We'll see if the flowers survive the summer ;)

Triplets?
Haha! That would be crazy!!! Our good friends from Chicago Matt and Meghan came to visit and brought their sweet baby boy Conor. He is only 7 weeks younger than Will and Henry and it is so fun to know that they will grow up being the best of friends. Check out all that red hair. Its AMAZING!
