So much sun, so much to do!

Here's a snapshot of our fun week so far. The weather has been great and having a blast with the kids at home. Stay tuned for a busy summer!

Pirate Colin


Finally warm and sunny! Time to play outside!

Emily's new companion, the scooter


Colin's new uniform. Not sure why we have the backpack? Big adventures I guess...at least he has snacks if he gets lost

Fun at the park


Love this picture. I take pictures of Colin in this same spot every year


Time for swimming!

Emily already has a love for flowers like her mommy ;)

Colin and playmate Isabella

Given that he hasn't had swim lessons yet, Colin is doing great in the water. He can get around pretty good with just floaties and determination.

Summer days are here again

Libertyville carnival. Last year Colin was too overwhelmed and had an epic meltdown, but this year he had a blast and went on all the rides. What a difference a year makes!




Emily had a good time watching and cheering on her big brother



To celebrate our return to potty training, we went to the local bounce house gym


Miserable with 4 new teeth coming in right now, Emily still tried to have a good time...for a few minutes


First time rock climbing...Colin loved it. After he got the hang of it he climbed almost to the top! So proud of him!


Out of shear frustration and misery, Emily literally got up and started walking on her own. She wanted to go home......ahhh just like her mommy.

This is our first official day of potty training (attempt # 3) and no preschool for the summer. Colin had a blast and played dress up all morning


Roland dressed Emily up like..... a flapper?? Love and peace child?
