It's been a busy few months for us. I thought I'd share some pictures, and some stories of what has been going on.
Olivia turned 11!! We attempted to do a cupcake tour the day after her birthday. The day was cold (I'm talking 40's), rainy, and we had to go to Chicago. We made it there, but our tour guide did not. So, we went to one of the bakeries to warm up and figure out what to do. We ended up going to see a movie, and then out to dinner.
Thankfully, we were able to reschedule, and went yesterday. It was a BEAUTIFUL day and our tour guide showed up and we all got totally hopped up on sugar. Then, once the tour was over, we walked to the zoo. We roamed the zoo for awhile, then met up with Derrick to have dinner. Did I mention that Jory was with us for the tour and most of the day? Hanging with both of their uncles is one my girls' favorite things. We spent a whole lot of time walking in the city and came home with cake balls from the first bakery. It was a great day!
Thanks to the tomato and pepper plants that Mia brought home from Girl Scouts, we built a garden! The plants needed a new home out of pots, so we built ourselves a garden today. In addition to the tomatoes and peppers, we've got strawberries, watermelon, cantaloupe, and many hot peppers for Tony.
Mia got her tonsils out (as you may know), and she's been very dependent on her Tylenol and Advil. We are pushing her to not take any more, and are paying with our sleep since she likes to FLIP OUT at night and then no one sleeps (except Mia, during the day). It's awesome. BUT - since we've been able to be together all week, we got some fabulous park pictures.
We also had the last day of school, last day of soccer, some wicked storms and a dance recital.
We also welcomed a new member to the family, Olivia's kitten Charlie (Barley). Olivia picked him out and was her birthday present.
