This weekend was filled with celebrations! Yesterday we celebrated the birthdays of Val, Steve and Allen. It was also Patrick and my 11th anniversary! We enjoyed dinner out and a movie: Beauty and the Beast while auntie Katie babysat the girls. These first 11 years have gone by quickly and I'm looking forward to the next 11.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Here's a few of my everyday favorites:

We have been having fun with family lately. My brother Pat works at the Humane Society and he was nice enough to give us a behind-the-scenes tour of everything. Thanks, Pat! We are looking forward to our next visit! We also enjoyed time with GG, Papa and Tracey recently and Aubrey continues to love all baked goods - especially "cake-cakes".

We spent the first weekend in March in Wisconsin Dells with my sister and her family. We had a great time at Chula Vista resort's waterpark! It was perfect for the little kids and the bigger kids with plenty of waterpark/waterslide time.

We hope to make this a regular trip!

"Oh, Thank you"

February

This month was full of fun! For my birthday Emily got us tickets to see Dr. Seuss's The Sneeches at the Children's Theater. It was a fun show with a great message and we had a blast at our night out at the theater! We had fun celebrating Valentine's Day and enjoying the beautiful 60 degree weather over the long President's Day weekend.

We're looking forward to our trip to Wisconsin Dells with our Chicago family next weekend!
