Evan and her Cup

Chicago

We're back from our short vacation in Chicago! We went to visit the Museum of Science and Industry and Shedd Aquarium. We had a great time visiting the museums, Navy Pier, Hyde Park, and driving around downtown, and the Chicago neighborhoods. Damon and I can't wait to go back...ALONE, so that we can really hang out and not have to stop for spankings and nap time, LOL! We have also decided that we would like to strike it rich so we can move into a downtown Chicago condo.

There are a TON of pics below. Enjoy.

Busy Week

Even though school is officially out we're having a busy week around here! Kayla has officially moved in and is transitioning really well. She got a new bed, bike, and learned how to ride without training wheels in a span of two days. I also managed to secure her a place in summer school at my building with a phenomenal reading teacher who diagnosed Kayla's weaknesses in about thirty-minutes (vowel sounds!!!). Kayla will be in her class for the first half of summer school and then will move to working in a small group with the best special education teacher EVER! No, Kayla has not been classified as SPED, but working with the SPED teacher will give her small group, individualized instruction. Basically, Kayla won't get much of a break, but she really can't afford one either, especially if she's going to go to 2nd grade and not be retained.




Cameron started tennis on Tuesday and loves it! He even made a friend (excitement). He goes every Tuesday and Thursday for the next three weeks, then the summer flag football season will begin.

Friday we're heading out on a mini-vacay. Of course we'll post all the pics and give you a blow by blow when we return.

P.S. EVAN SAID "MAMA" FOR THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our Little Graduate

DADADA

It's official. Evan now has the ability to say Dada on demand. About a month and a half ago it was reported that she said it at daycare, but it was a fluke. She now says it for everything! I picked her up this morning and she patted my arm and said Dada, lol! It was cute.
