Ahhh, if Dr. Seuss only knew




This is usually how pictures go. Thing 1 is wild and Thing 2 I have a feeling will be following in his brother's footsteps. These adorable shirts are from Chris and Erik Madsen (Scott and Jude's friends from CR). They got these for the boys when they were in Florida watching their daughter audition for American Idol.

So Sweet

I captured this picture yesterday of the boys. Zack loves his little brother and he is such a good helper. We are so lucky!

Finally... a family picture!




Yes, we're Vikings fans. I'm hoping my boys don't get beat up sporting their purple jerseys here in Bears country. We had a wonderful weekend. We had friends over to grill on Saturday and Sunday. We are working on recruiting friends to the suburbs.

From the city to the burbs

Alex (9weeks) is so alert now and talking to us. He is such a sweet baby!

Zack's first day of preschool.

Well we are finally getting settled in our new house. We made the move to the suburbs (Wilmette) over a week ago. It will be an adjustment for all of us. We love having a playroom, yard and laundry room. Zack starts at his new preschool in a week. We have a ton of kids on our block and are meeting lots of nice neighbors. I'll post pictures of our new house in a couple days.

5 week and getting BIG!




Our big boy is getting bigger. He weighed in at 12 pounds 2 ounces at his one month appointment! Zack continues to love his baby brother and wants to shower him with kisses all the time. Life with two boys is always exciting. Matt and I are so lucky to have our boys.

Happy 3rd Birthday Zack!




Zack had a wonderful 3rd birthday! We had a pool party with his friends and after swimming we had a picnic lunch in the park. The kiddos all seemed to have a great time. Everyone enjoyed the cupcakes after lunch. Looking back, blue icing probably wasn't the best choice for a bunch of 3 year olds. For dinner Zack got to go to his favorite burger joint, Five Guys and custard at Scooters. It was a fun and food filled day.

What an easy baby!

Alex taking it easy in his swing.

Working hard at tummy time.

Future hockey player.

Very calm for his first bath - no tears.

All warm after his bath.

Alex is a very good baby. He is pretty low maintenance. All he wants right now is a clean diaper and to be fed. Zack is in Iowa at Grandma Jude and Grandpa Scott's house. We miss him, but I know he is having a blast ruling the roost at Grandma's house.
