A Little Green (in a Good Way)

This St. Patrick's Day, we chose to boldly forgo the afternoon nap to view the fun, lively, candy-filled parade downtown. The kids were extra-thrilled to get to watch the parade with some of their buddies, whom we ran into while looking for a viewing spot.

Dome Day

We took a little day trip over to Milwaukee to meet Mimi, Papa, and Gigi at the Domes. The kids dashed through the domes (and we hurried to keep up with them!) and then we had lunch overlooking Miller Park.

Springtime Catch-up

Well, we must be having fun around here since I haven't blogged since last month! Here's a few catch-up pictures.

Elmo Day

I can't think of too many times that the kids have been dressed alike, but on this particular day, both were showing their support for a certain red, furry friend. At least it made it easier for me to track down both kids at the indoor playground!

Being Shady

Maybe it was just wishful thinking for some spring sunshine, but the shades were out in full force (inside the house).

Sid the Science Kid

Eli and Mommy enjoyed a special date afternoon at Noodles for lunch followed by seeing Sid the Science Kid Live. It was Eli's first play, and he and Mommy had a great time.
