Goodbye Sweet Maddy

We are so deeply sad. Today our sweet Maddy went to heaven. She will forever be swimming in eternal lakes and running like the wind. We will all miss you sweet girl.

Father Daughter Valentine's Dance

Eric & Eily had their first "Father/Daughter Dance" tonight! Don't they look cute?

Blizzard 2011

TWO snow days AND Daddy home two days in a row= best blizzard ever!
(check out Colin's pink boots and pink gloves- my sensitive guy!)

They Crack Me Up!

These two kids have evolved into the funniest two little people I know. They have hysterical moments as individuals- but are sometimes at their best together! Today was exceptionally fun because Eily had the day off (oh how I miss that!). It makes me look forward to having them both home over the summer.

Eily & I were watching tv and Colin was awfully quiet. We went to check on him and this is what we found:
He managed to shove his helium balloon into the toilet...along with a roll of toilet paper. Boy- was he ever PROUD!

Eily spent the afternoon dressing up (as usual). She came out with her newest character: The (very modern) Virgin Mary!

Merry Christmas

We had such a fun Christmas! Christmas Eve was spent at our house with Erics' side and we went to my Mom & Dads for Christmas Day. I can promise that there is not a toy in the world that these two kids don't have! The house is packed with new toys. Eily's favorite is her new Barbie castle and Colins is for sure his ball pit. We hope you had a nice relaxing Christmas as well!

After School Snack....

Happy Halloween

What a weekend! Friday started off the festivities with Eily's school parties and fall fest. Saturday we went to the "Halloween Hoedown" in downtown Lemont, followed by a family get together and a sleepover with Eily's friend Jack. Today we trick or treated until a combination of our feet giving out and sugar melt downs left and right. I haven't been this tired since Disneyworld! Now off to hide the candy.....
