Moments 04 19 :: Week 04

Look at us! Out on a Friday night. Double date at Birch + Butcher with Scott & Ali, and ran into some other friends who happened to find themselves without their little kids that night.


Evening #2 -- in a row! C'viche with Jesse & Angie, then to watch Goran play.


Tennis season started. C and his friend played #1 doubles -- and got creamed. Needless to say, they are moved down to #2 next week. Ha!


This one has decided she's petrified of thunderstorms. It's so weird! She ended up sleeping in our bed that night. She usually doesn't even come upstairs! She's something.

Easter

Such a full, fun Easter. It started with the boys waking up to an Easter egg hunt. Yeah, it's not the same, but it's still fun. Early in the afternoon, we swung by Scott & Ali's for a few minutes on our way to meet Grandma at Lake Park Bistro for brunch ... which was amazing. Seriously, it's so good, and such a great treat for a special day. We also scored with a table overlooking the lake on this gorgeous day. Yay! After stopping home for a few minutes, it was time to head out to Justin & Amy's. It really was a perfect day.

In honor of Prom this weekend, thought I'd pull up my old Prom pictures. LOL!


This is better! Are they so cute? His date is a good friend of H's. (She's actually dating our next door neighbor who is in college).


Proud parents.


The Grand March. Kind of a funny (to me) tradition at their school. But I loved getting to see where prom was and hear their names announced. H had a great time. I really don't think it could have been better, to be honest.


The day after. Haha! It was a late, fun night. That's for sure.


Then this nonsense happened. C was in a soccer tournament in Rockford over the weekend. We were 15 minutes away from the fields when the rest of the tournament got cancelled. Grrrr.. Nothing like spending 3 hours in the car for no reason.


And then the snow melted. I love spring!

Bliss. A scene from last weekend when H got his hair cut.


It's absolutely disgusting out right now, but there were a few gorgeous days this week, and this one took full advantage of it to sun herself.

Moments 04 19 :: Week 01

Arrived home from Spring Break in the nick of time to wish this crazy girl a very happy 5th birthday!


Felt great to get out and about on Sunday. So lucky to have the Schlitz Audubon nearly in our back yard.


As a last Spring Break hurrah, we went out for pizza.


In case you were wondering.... (an awesome gift from Brian).


Super snuggles all the time. I've been a little worried about Storm lately. It's hard watching our pets grow old, and he's kind of my guy....


S E V E N T E E N ! That just sounds old.


For the most part, it was a regular day. Had to wait for C to get home from soccer practice then celebrated with his traditional steak, french fries and Greek salad. This year's cake was a S'more Icebox Cake. I have to admit, I wasn't sold on his pick this year, but it turned out ridiculously good.


As I was taking C to the mall this afternoon, he said he liked my outfit. I'll take it!
