Cheerio Angels?

This is what happens when 2 mischievious toddlers spill a Costco size box of Cherrios on the floor. They, along with 2 dogs, gorge themselves and proceed to make Cherrio Angels. Ahh, a day in the life!

Kids, Get Back in Your Cell!

When the babies escape their confinement (outsmart the babyproofing!) they make a beeline for the usually restricted dining room and run into the dog kennels! Sound like child abuse?? HA! Look at the pure joy on their faces!!!

The Simple Life

Our summer would not be complete with a visit to Uncle Bob and Aunt Mary's farm in northern Michigan. Mommy's grandfather passed away when she was 6 and his brother has been a surrogate since then. What a special man.

Namesakes

At the end of our trip this summer, we went to Michigan to say goodbye to Mommy's grandmother who passed away in January. Because the ground was frozen in northern Michigan when she died, the funeral was postponed until Memorial Day. Unfortunately, the weather and air traffic controllers decided Mommy didn't really need to get there for the actual funeral in May and she was unable to say goodbye in person. Daddy, being the amazing person he is, took it upon himself to tack a few extra days onto the trip to Chicago to drive to Michigan so that Mommy could say her goodbyes.

It was heart wrenching and yet so poetic to see the boys gently touch the gravestone, even though they had no idea was it was.

Henry seemed fascinated by his great grandfathers grave markings. The ironic thing was that Henry Bernard is named after Mommy's grandfather, Bernard...

It was the perfect way to say goodbye to 2 grandparents who had such a profound impact on Mommy's life.

Saturday Mornings

Soccer season has started again so for the next 2 months we'll be spending our Saturday mornings cheering on Jack Jack. This year he has two more very interested spectators!

Perfect Summer Evening

What could be more perfect than playing at the beach after work/school?
Well the weather was sunny and 75 and we went to Waterman's for dinner that included smoothies for the boys and orange crushes for Mommy and Daddy...PERFECTION!
