Due Dec 1st

The cat's out of the bag, but for those that don't know, we are expecting baby #3 December 1st. Overjoyed, surprised and nauseous, we can't wait. Leo's picks for baby names? Beatrix or Mice. 

Pip




Leo had an infection on his tush which resulted in a very painful visit to the doctor. He was such a good sport that I decided a visit to a pet shop would be in order. Holy cow. They had a female lab, and we asked to pet her. She was so sweet and loving - Olivia could not get enough, deciding she would name her Pip. This was Thursday night. Since then, she has cried for Pip, even crying herself to sleep last night. Olivia knows we are not in the market for a dog right now, and I explained that we would never buy one from a pet store. But still. She is heartbroken. 

Sunday Morning Buddies



We cleared out of the house on Sunday for nearly 3 hours to give Steve some time to sleep in. 

Fast Friends

Leo has been lucky enough to get some new buddies on the block. While Joey is 3 years older than him, they play really well together. Joey was even forgiving for the brief period when Leo couldn't pronounce his name, calling him Joanie instead. 

Back at Redmoon



I went with the boys to a meeting of the minds at Redmoon theater to discuss the Sonic Boom, their summer job. Young Chicago Authors are also involved - and will be performing spoken word poetry at the performances. 

Steve's Birthday





 'Mom, look what I caught!"






Tufano's is about the only place Steve feels comfortable taking the kids. So we headed there to celebrate his birthday, with a stop at Mario's afterwards. They loved it. 

Cutie


The tide has turned for Olivia and the camera is now a good thing.

Sweet & Tough





Olivia had her last game for Sweet & Tough's softball season. Can not believe it's over! Iggy and Maeve joined Auntie Gena, Papa and Anna Marie in her cheering section.

Watch Out 2nd Grade!

First Day

Last day. Is it just me or did she age 5 years? 

Last Day!

Thankfully this isn't goodbye for Olivia and Miss Boyce, as Liv will be going to Miss Boyce's book club this summer. 

I promised slurpees as an end of school treat. 

Ice Cream Social

Leo and I helped at the FSA sponsored Ice Cream social, where he felt too cool for school once he saw his 2nd grade buds.
