Daddy's 55th Birthday

Daddy turned 55 ~ we celebrated with balloons, cake, homemade cards and dinner.  Ethan and Julia came over to celebrate with us so it was so nice to have everyone together.  Daddy made his famous ribs and we had corn and caprese salad with Sweet Mandy B's cake and cookies.  We are so lucky to have such a loving, fun, cool, hands on Daddy.  We love you so much!  Thanks for being the best DADDY in the world!

Ethan Graduates from DePaul

Ethan graduated from DePaul University in June of 2020.  Unfortunately, they did not have a normal ceremony because of covid, but at least he got his diploma.  We are so proud of him!  He is now working with Advocate Commercial Real Estate Advisors as an analyst.  We can't wait to see what he does from here - we know he will do big things.  We love you so much, Ethan.   

Sophie's new winter clothes

Sophie got some new winter clothes.  She wasn't too sure about it, but doesn't realize how cold it's going to get so we wanted to be ready. 

Halloween

Halloween was definitely different this year.  Daddy had covid so we all had to quarantine and make the best of it.  The boys had costumes so we decided to dress up and do a candy scavenger hunt around the house.  The boys picked out Mario (Grayson) and Luigi (Liam) this year while Sophie dressed up as Princess Peach.  Daddy watched from afar, but got to see the boys dressed up in their costumes.  We have such nice neighbors and they all gathered candy for the boys and dropped it off in our garage.   

Kohler, Wisconsin Trip

We went to Kohler, Wisconsin for less than 24 hours and had a great time!  Daddy accidentally told his friend and another family overheard we were going to WI for the night so the soccer club made Grayson quarantine for 14 days. It was a total joke because the guy that told on us was the same guy who did not make his son wear a mask.  What a joke!  Grayson had so much fun playing with Chicago City Soccer, even though they singled him out.  He has improved so much in soccer and absolutely

 loves it.  We took the boys to Wisconsin and had fun hanging out the hotel and the surrounding pumpkin patch.  The next day we hung out at the pool.  They boys had fun diving for pool toys as well as jumping into the pool and catching the many balls.  The boys had such a fun time!
