We went to Jump Zone today with Gianni's preschool classmates. It was Gabriele's first time at a place like this! A bloody nose and a bloody lip (one for each) later, we knew it was time to go home for lunch and naps! But, a good time was had!

My numbers didn't match...how did yours do?

The flowers are blooming on the tree in our front yard. It was already there when we moved in & I don't know what kind of tree it is. One of these years, I'll look it up so that I'll know what it's called.

We celebrated our neighbors birthday tonight!

We went to the Elburn Fire Department today with some of the kids from Gianni's preschool. I belong to a group of moms whose kids are in Early Childhood. So, only some of these kids will be in Gianni's class this year.

We went out to Nelson Lake Marsh to look for some pelicans tonight. There weren't any there today, but there was a beautiful sun setting.

The girl scouts had an ice skating field trip today & I brought the boys along, too. None of us had ever ice skated before and, by the end of the day, we were all able to skate across the ice without holding onto the wall!

Miranda March 26, 2012

Happy Birthday to my sweet little boy whose energy and spirit I adore more than anything...We took the boys on a train ride to Glen Ellyn and ate at Two Toots cafe where they serve your food to you on a train. They loved it!

Marla-March 22, 2012

We will be on spring break next week, so I wanted to get the wintery bulletin board that I had up in the hallway at school taken down before I left work today. This is the new one that I put up...I have used it before but always like to add new movies that have come out. The students like to try to name all of the movies when they pass by the library. Can you name them?

Maureen March 22, 2012

Exploring another forest preserve. We decided that one of our goals for the upcoming months will be to try to walk a trail at each forest preserve in Dupage County before the end of summer.

Gabriele's first hair cut

Marla-March 18, 2012

Since no one would be at Dylan's apartment to take care of the cats, we let them come stay at our house and Cole and Vaughn took care of them. I thought that they looked like they were looking out the window waiting for Dylan and his roommate, Fred, to come back to get them.

Maureen March 18, 2012
