chicago 2010













The girls and I are out in Chicago visiting Kelsey and her kids. We have been having so much fun. The White Sox game, a visit to the American Girl store, a HUGE water fountain, and vacation bible school a.k.a daycare are a few of the things we have done so far. We are going to the beach tomorrow and hanging out the rest of the week. The girls have had so much fun just playing and wearing the twinnies clothes. Kelsey and I have got up on all our smut T.V. We went shopping on Michigan Ave. today and had fun! It is crazy crowded here!

Hannah graduated Kindergarten today. There is nothing like your child's kindergarten year, even if you are doing it again:) It was such a special year for her and she was so blessed to have a wonderful teacher. Today it culminated in a Graduation. I could not stop crying...literally, the entire performance. It was such a nice day. The kids did so great. Each class did a song and then Hannah had the special part in the poem:) She was wonderful! She looked so beautiful in her curls! Nothing will compare to this special day for our little baby girl! We were so proud of her!

Father's Day



Father's Day was a bit stressful for John. Kate took off her vest in the pool and is an official swimmer. Suffice to say, he would be fine if the kids holed up in the house and never did anything that could possibly get them hurt. She is our scaredy cat, so I figured she wouldn't do it. The minute she realized she could, she was everywhere. Jumping off and swimming to a step, playing shark with my dad, and she even tried to backstroke.
