First Day of School!



School started! Mom was sad to see the summer end. Isabelle and Jack are off to a great start and thrilled to be in 3rd and 1st grades. Patrick had a hard time starting pre-school (so did I), but after a few days he did great (I'm still adjusting)!

Patrick Turned 3!!




Hard to believe our little guy is 3! We had a great day. Patrick had a Thomas the Train Cake.

Birthday Girl!


Papa and Ella Jane celebrated their birthday together




We then celebrated with a big first birthday party. Lots of friends came for a cookout and cake in the backyard.


Oh Isabelle!


Isabelle broke her foot. It hasn't slowed her down, she's still running and riding her bike.

Michigan Fun

We had fun playing with our cousins in Michigan!

Summer Fun!

We had a great summer. Here are a few highlights.

Happy Fourth of July!


We celebrated the 4th of July, watching the fireworks from the roof of our car. Patrick decided he liked the quiet view from inside the car much better.


Water Baby!



Ella Jane loves the water!

Go Cubs Go!



Jack and Daddy had a tour of Wrigley field. They went with our good friends, Tom and Jacob Martin. It was a special day for everyone!

Great America



We had a great time at Great America! Even Patrick enjoyed the rides.
