New Park

There is a brand new park that opened up right by the new Cubs Spring Training Complex. It is always fun to try a new park and this park is awesome. It has the biggest climbing features I have ever seen which is perfect for our little monkeys. We went to try it out early one morning before all the Spring Training madness started. We will definitely go back there a lot. The kids have a big challenge to try to make it up to the top of the big climbing web. There is a zip line and I was pretty impressed that Patchy tried it out all by himself. He took a big spill but got up and laughed and tried again.

Valentines Day

We had a busy Valentines day this year. We started the day with a fun breakfast. Ellie and Patchy just loved drinking water out of the Champaign glasses. We went to the Dr. to check on baby #3 and all is well. Less than a month to go before we meet our new baby!!  Then we went to a fun Candy Land party at gymnastics. Ellie also had her first Valentines swap at preschool this year. It was so exciting for her!  The best part of Valentines this year was that Grandma came and went out to dinner with the kids and me while Daddy-O stayed home to put together the new bunk beds. It will take some time to transform Ellie's girlie girl room into a shared room with Patchy but we have a great start!

Ellie's First Fashion Show

Ellie's preschool had a pattern fashion show. She was supposed to dress in an AB pattern and strut her stuff. This was an easy thing to do because she still loves dressing like a hula girl. Ellie absolutely loved this chance to perform. It was extra special because Daddy left work early to catch the show.
