Elkhorn, Wisconsin

We went to Elkhorn, Wisconsin to visit Craig's friend Brian and also got to stop by my client's new house.  We did a sparkling rose toast to celebrate their new place.  We had dinner with Dom and JoAnn Sergi and Brian at our favorite place in WI - Holi Cannoli.  They have the best pasta with vodka sauce and crumbled sausage.  We went on Brian's boat and had a great time.  The next day we had Mexican in town before heading home.  We love spending time in Wisconsin. 

Vegas Trip

We went to Las Vegas to visit Mimi and Papa right after school got out.  We stayed at the Wynn Hotel and love all the amenities there.  We were so happy to see Mimi and Papa and love spending time with them.  It was the perfect mix of fun, relaxation, and quality time together in Vegas.  We spent our days swimming, exploring, and enjoying some of the best food Vegas has to offer.  We had dinner at Casa Playa (Mexican restaurant) in the Encore Hotel.  The boys had fun taking picutres by the Michael Jackson backdrop, but we didn't see the show.  Craig and I saw Adele and it was the most amazing concert.  She is so talented!  We had such a great trip and can't wait to come back. 

 

Last Day of School - 2nd & 5th Grade & Liam's End of Year Play Date

And just like that, another school year is inn the books!  Today, we celebrated the boys' last day of 2nd and 5th grade - one step closer to new adventures, bigger challenges, and (hopefully) a summer filled with fun!

This year brought so much grwoth - new friendships, favorite teachers, and plenty of learning (even if they wont' admit it).  Our 2nd grader mastered reading bigger books, while our 5th grader wrapped up his last year of elementary school, ready to take on middle school in the fall. 

We're so proud of them both and can't wait to see what next year brings.  But for now...SUMMER MODE ON!

Liam's class did an end of year party at the park so I met him and got to hang out for a little while.  

I love seeing the difference in the first day of school compared to the last day of school pictures.  They've grown up so much!

 

Cubs game with the Cosics

We went to the Cubs game with Katie Cosic & her husband Dario.  We had great seats from her boss, but it was raining so that has not too fun.  We made the best of it it and had a great time!.    

Tim McGraw Concert with Swanson's

We went to the Tim McGraw concert and sat in the PNC box with the Swansons.  We had a great time.

Here are some photos from May...

Grayson's Clement Soccer team

Craig decided to do our flowers this year and not hire a professional.  The boys helped him and they did a great job.  Next year I'll remember to take a picture of the finished product.

Liam and Daddy with their funny tooth...like father like son

Grayson and Alex on the school field trip that I got to chaperone.

We went to my client's house with the kids and took some really cool city sky line photos with the fireworks.

Clement Get Together

We had some Clement families over for dinner with the kids.  We always have fun and it's great to get the kids together.  We were able to use our outdoor space so that was nice.
