Train Ride

William and Daddy went for a train ride in the city. Of course William loved it and even got to ride on for free!





Waiting for the train with Daddy!

Shedd Aquarium

Last weekend we headed to Chicago for some fun in the city. Our first stop was the Shedd Aquarium to see the fish! William was excited to see the sharks, jellies, sea turtle, and tuna fish.

Checking out the Jellies.



This is one giant jelly!



Looking for Nemo...



Pushing some buttons and making friends.



William loving the sharks!



Looking up at the sea turtle, it was hiding in the corner.



Lucky William took home a souvenir - penguin slippers! We really love penguins!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Wishing all our family and friends a very Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Fun!

William had his Valentine's Day party at school today. I helped planned the last two parties and kind of wished I had signed up for this one too! The kids did some fun Valentine's Day crafts, played Valentine's Day bingo, and passed out Valentines to each other.



So sweet!

Pajama Day!

This past Friday, it was Pajama Day at William's school! The children could also bring a favorite stuffed animal or blanket. This past Christmas, GG Laverne let the children pick a favorite stuffed animal from her collection, and William chose Lamma (a stuffed lamb).



She is definitely his favorite sleeping buddy these days!



William has a little Lamb, who followed him to school one day!

Children of the World!

William's class recently talked about how they are the children of the world. They made a project to go along with it, and he brought it home today. William included Annabelle (a little girl William likes at school), his cousin Claire, and his Colorado buddy Jameson. When I saw the names he chose I thought it was super sweet!



Got to LOVE when the children of this world are happy!



William also received an award for excellent motor skills today! Go William!

Little Chef!

William is our little chef. He loves to cook all kinds of different foods, including pizza, vegetable soup, pies, and many other yummy goodies.



He loves his new kitchen he got from Pamma and Grandpa, and spends most of his day cooking something up. The microwave is actually a "toaster" - he "decorated" it with some veggies, fruits, and bread.



William likes to get dressed all by himself. He does a great job, even if the clothes are on backwards sometimes.



William will often make dinner for us. This night he made us a very healthy and tasty vegetable soup.
