Summer '08

The summer isn't nearly over and it has already been a busy summer for us. In order to keep family and friends up to date on what we have been up to we decided to start a blog.

Here are some recent photos of the family detailing what we have been doing....

Maddy with Daddy on Father's day.

Trying to get these three to sit still for a pic is pretty hard these days...

Music time.


Mommy's birthday.


Gee and Ree came in for a visit.



Maddy in her 'Big Girl' chair! She loves it. Thanks Gee & Ree for her birthday gift a little early :)


Then we headed off to the Akron area to visit Mike's family for the 4th of July. We were there for about 10 days and had a nice visit. Mikey LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the pool at Papa & TT's house.

Mikey in the pool. By the end of the week he was jumping in and swimming around all by himself.


Maddy waiting for food. She LOVES to eat!

Mikey with Papa and their new Ohio State hats.

A rare family photo...not to mention everyone was actually looking at the camera.

Maddy on the move...there is no stopping her now.

The kids with GoGo.

Back in Chicago. Maddy is pulling herself up onto everything and crawling all around.

Maddy trying to get to the TV by standing on her chair...nothing is safe.


Mikey sitting still for a few minutes...

Last week we headed to the Shedd Aquarium for a visit. Here is a photo of Mikey outside with Sears Tower in the background.

The kids outside Shedd.

Did we mention Maddy LOVES food?! Here she is convinced there is more food in her shirt! She kept pulling it to try and find something else in there somewhere.

Well, that's all for now. We will be trying to post here as often as we can to keep you in the loop!

You should tell people about how Maddy crawls under the dinner table to find scraps :)

There are some great pictures out there. I'm excited to follow along and maybe even be a feature guest.
