Grayson & Liam ~ April Photos

April Photos ~

Grayson always love having his soccer BFF Maddox over to hang out and spend the night.  Maddox's family also comes over and we always have the best time.  I went to college with Maddox's dad at EIU and he was in a fraternity that was close with my sorority.  Grayson lost another tooth.  He recently lost one that my friend (Whitney) helped pull and then lost another one not too long after.  Liam always loves to pose for the camera and he's so darn cute.  This month both boys ended up getting covid, which was such a bummer.  Liam got it first, then 5 days later Craig got it and the next day Grayson got it.  Grayson and Liam started playing Oz Park baseball.  Liam and Grayson had a school program and Liam dressed up as a Lion while Grayson dressed up as a bird.  

Girls Dinner at Coda di Volpe

Kelly, Whitney, Mandy and I went to dinner at Coda di Volpe.  It was so much fun to introduce Kelly to Whitney and Mandy.  It turns out Kelly tried to get on Whitney's show years ago and Whitney turned her down.  Whitney of course felt bad about it, but they became fast friends and all was forgotten.  ha ha!

Girls Dinner

Holly, Stacey and I had dinner at Bar Mar downtown.  It was so nice to have a girls night out and catch up.  I've known them since college so it's always fun hanging out.

Shedd Aquarium with John, Sue and Tommy

We went to the Shedd Aquarium with John, Sue, Tommy, Oma, Liam and mommy.  We had to first get a picture with Tommy and Liam with the city in the backdrop.  It was a very cold day, but we had a lot of fun exploring the Shedd and seeing all of the animals.  We saw whales, dolphins, penguins and lots of fish.  Liam wanted to do a little photo shoot and told me when to take pictures.  It was so cute!  We had a great time at the Shedd! 

Easter

Easter was a little different this year.  John, Sue and Tommy were visiting us from New Jersey, which was a lot of fun, but we had to be careful because Liam tested positive for covid the Tuesday before Easter.  We thought we were in the clear, but then Craig tested positive on Friday and Grayson on Saturday.  We were shocked they got it, but luckily it was only cold symptoms.  It definitely changed our plans, but we made the best of it.  We had fun decorating Easter cookies, playing soccer, going to dinner at Victory Tap followed by Chicago Fire soccer game and then celebrating Easter with brunch.  Daddy and Grayson had to stay home for the soccer game and Easter brunch, but luckily John, Sue and Tommy were not afraid to be around them and never got covid.  The Easter bunny stopped by our house and filled the Easter baskets with candy, clothes and balls for the boys as well as Easter eggs to find.  We had Easter brunch at Summer House with John, Sue, Tommy, Oma, Liam and mommy.  We had a very nice Easter this year.
