Happy Birthday GG!

You are truly an inspiration for our family! We are so lucky to have you in our lives!

Claire and her accent!

I don't know where she picked this up, but she says some words with a crazy accent! "Outside" and "On" are the most obvious!

Totally adorable trio!

This is what Claire likes to call "two babies!"

Lincoln Park Zoo

The weather this week has been perfect, so we decided to squeeze in a trip to the zoo! Claire LOVED seeing the animals. She couldn't get enough of the monkeys and kept asking to see more animals. When I asked her what her favorite part of the day was, she told me that it was seeing the giraffe. Allie couldn't have been better!

Not a great shot, but had to include it because it was her favorite!

Looking for sea lions in her zebra shirt. She wore it for the animals :).

Our tradition is to take this shot upon entering the zoo!

Claire with the crazy polar bear. He is studied because he has had the same routine for years! He pushs off against the wall, swims to the window and repeats! It makes it really easy to get a shot of him!

Dane's Birthday celebration

We had a good Mexican dinner in downtown PR. Claire couldn't help herself when they brought out ice cream for Dane, she freaked out! After, we had DQ cake at our house, so plenty of ice cream to go around!
Papo with the young ones! Only one left under one!



Ice cream freak out! Claire wants at it! Matt said that she was shaking!

Birthday kisses!

Here she comes!

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY DANE!!

We love our Daney soo much! He is so happy, sweet and fun! We can't believe that you are the big ONE today!

Here he is exactly one year ago! So cute!

Fall fests!

We went to the Arlington Heights fest last Saturday, and to the Park Ridge fest on Sunday!
