January Recap

We kicked off the new year by having some friends over for the Notre Dame bowl game.  The kids had fun, the house was a disaster and the Irish lost!

Ty turned into a clown...he seriously thinks this bike is for him!

Untitled

And Luke and I played a fun game of Monopoly!

Untitled

We celebrated Kohr Christmas, which is always entertaining and chaotic!

And then it was time to head back to school! Paige was excited to bring Phoebe along with her to school.

Untitled

We had some cold weather!

Untitled

Everyone got haircuts one Friday after school! Untitled

Before: Untitled

After: Untitled

We are letting Luke's hair grow a bit although I really just want to cut it right now because he wants to spend zero time worrying about his hair in the mornings and it's crazy when he wakes up! Untitled

One weekend in January we headed to Schaumburg for a big train convention. I think Ty enjoyed it the most! Although Paige & Luke thought the lego train set was awesome and had fun on this ride! Untitled

Ty was not a fan of this guy! CSC_0003

The majority of our time was spent at the train tables! Untitled

We also ate at Pilot Pete's. It was a fun place, but will be even more fun to watch the planes fly in and out when the weather gets better! Untitled

These kids love spaghetti!
Untitled

And these two just make me smile :) Untitled

Besties!

Someone was tired!

I see some contemporary dance in this girl's future! Love her! Untitled

We had Ty's 18 month checkup. He is growing perfectly - 26.8 lbs and 34.25 inches. He is the best patient. The doctor just laughs at him because Ty is so friendly and happy when he is there! Untitled

Luke and Paige went to a Notre Dame basketball game with Daddy & Grandpa! Untitled

Untitled

Untitled

We all cozied up together quite a few nights! Untitled

And the 3 of us had some fun while Luke and Daddy were at basketball practice! Untitled

Untitled

Both basketball and swimming lessons started at the end of January so the activities are in full swing again!

Wally and I got out for dinner and a movie last weekend which was a great way to end the month!
Untitled

And the last day of the month was full of fun - we attended the Open House at the kids' school where Luke represented the Chess Club. Untitled

We also had some fun in the garage playing some baseball and basketball! Untitled

December 2015

(New plan here - the least I can do is a monthly recap...we'll see how it goes.)

December is always a busy but fun month!  Not only do we have Christmas, but we also have all of the fun holiday activities throughout the month as well as Luke's birthday!

Here are some highlights:

Tree is up and Christmas jammies are on!

Ty was fascinated by the tree...luckily the amazement wore off and he eventually started leaving it alone.

Untitled

We enjoyed a Christmas parade and some rides.
