Grayson's First Communion

We celebrated Grayson's First Communion.  His second grade class received their holy communion as a class during mass.  The week before they had a retreat where they learned about God and the meaning of first holy communion.  On the actual day we all met at church and watched Grayson take communion.  He was so excited and practiced many times with regular bread.  We took several picures during the actual mass with family and some friends.  Afterwards we went to brunch at Willow Room with the 4 of us, Oma, Julia, Dan, Reagan, Ethan and Elle.  We are so proud of Grayson and so happy he took this next step in his faith journey.  We love you so much, Grayson.

Dinner with Will & Alex

We went to dinner with our good friends Will and Alex.  We started the night at Soho House for drinks and then had dinner at Lyra, a new Greek restaurant in the West Loop.  We had so much fun with them and decided to get tickets to Bieber the following week.

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.
