Oma's Birthday

We celebrated Oma's birthday at RPM Steakhouse.  We had the usual dishes we like to share...steak, french fries, brussel sprouts, beet salad and 24k chocolate cake.  It was so nice we were able to celebrate her birthday as the last year has been so crazy.  We had a great time.  Happy Birthday to the best Mom and Oma in the world!  We love you so much!    

Grayson & Liam Artwork ~ June Pictures

The boys had some artwork this month from school.  Grayson did a really cool wood project.  Liam also completed a really cool project called the "I Am Ready for Kindergarten" booklet.  We are so proud of them.  We also got their report cards and the did great!  The boys have been sneaking in our rooms in the middle of the night or early in the morning so we've had some extra snuggle time.  We are such lucky parents.  

 

Mom & Daughter Weekend

My BFF from college, Christy (Kracht) Hild, and I decided after spending the weekend together with our kids that we should do this again with our moms (without kids).  We planned a fun weekend including the Van Gogh Immersive Museum (amazing!), shopping at Water Tower Place, dinner at RPM Seafood, Chicago Architectural Tour (with a crazy storm), lunch at Gibson's Italia and ordering in food from Crosby's Kitchen.  We had so much fun playing the domino game chicken foot.  The moms opened gifts from us that included cute pajamas from Christy and little goodies from me (face mask, body wash, candy, etc).  We had the best weekend!  We hope to make this an annual event.
