Field Trip to the Shedd

Wearing the 3D glasses for the Happy Feet movie

The boys and I met Grandma Galiher at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago for a fun day to check out the sharks and fish. We met our all of our little cousins there to add to the fun. Keeping track of 5 little wandering kiddos and 2 babies was a bit hectic...but we made it out alive!

Backyard Picnic

More gorgeous weather. My friend Kim, and her two girls joined us one day this week to enjoy the sunshine. One of Thomas' favorite things to do is have a picnic...so we did. PBJ sandwiches, fruit and pretzels and friends. Does it get any better than that?

Annie and Thomas

(Benjamin is not pictured because he was in Griffith having Grandma time with Sean's mom before she makes the final move to Texas in April. And Andrew is snoozing in the house.)

Chowtime

Time is flying by this spring...the weather has been unusually warm, and we have been enjoying moments outside. The boys have been playing in the sandbox again, and attempting to bust out the water hose too. They love the sand and water! It is so nice for them to be able to burn off some energy outdoors and go exploring. W even made it to the park for the first time since all the snow has melted. More big news is that Andrew has started eating oatmeal from a spoon...this is the earliest I have ever introduced solids with my babies. He did great...we couldn't spoon it in fast enough! Happy 5 months baby Drew!
