Gianni's first day of preschool - He went for a trial. He literally ran in....without saying Goodbye...And he did great!

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?

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

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.

Out to eat Texas BBQ with Secret Colours.

I found out on Facebook that Jenny Heal (Mom used to babysit her) lives in Austin. So, I contacted her and we made arrangements for Eric and I go to visit her (and her sister, Sara) while we were in Austin. I was SO happy to see her. FYI-in case you didn't know Jenny has MS.

The Girl Scout 100th anniversary event we went to was meant to be a surprise/flash mob kind of thing, where everyone was just shopping at the mall until a few minutes before we all took off our coats & showed ourselves to be Girl Scouts. Annie wanted to be really undercover, so she disguised herself as a boy before we left.

Miranda March 12, 2012

Come walk with us!

Marla-March 12, 2012
