Chicago 2012

It's the last vacation (lol) of the year. Erin and I dropped the girls off at "Red's" house and off to Chicago with Bill and MyLoan.

It was a great couples weekend with out the kids. But lots of planning into our 2013 family trip up here.

We experienced some new areas of Chicago including Oak Park to see some of the Frank Lloyd Wright homes. Then an adventure to The Gold Coast. A great walking food tour with lots and lots of food.

Not to miss an opportunity, Bill and I ran around the park to Soldier Fields! ( da bears)

Finally, not one but two Cubs' games.... They lost both. :(.

Until next year.

Our August happenings

As our world continues to spin faster and faster we attempt to keep up with our kiddos. Lizzy started 1st grade, she is Mrs. Hoskins class and I'm not kidding has quite a bit of homework, gets graded and has about 8 websites she must visit daily to check for tests and quizzes. I think she's just super happy to be back with her BFF Delaney everyday :) I will catch onto this and keep her on track eventually.
Ak has started dance class and she loves it! She has watched Lizzy go through 3 yrs of dance and just relished the moment she finally got to go. Also apparently we did good getting her shoes. All the shoes are neon colors right now. Ak's are black and green. Her buddies are pink, they are so stinking cute. Lizzy has entered some gymnastics and can do quite the back bend. I'm waiting for flips and what not. Meanwhile I am going to get back on schedule and update our site more :) promise! Enjoy the pictures.
