Back To School

William started another year of pre-k today! He was very excited to go back to school! He had a great day getting to know his classmates! His angry birds shirt was a big hit too!

Yay, off to school!

We are excited for another year of learning and growing for our Big Boy!

Lincoln Park Zoo

This past Monday we visited the Lincoln Park Zoo! The zoo was very crowded and it was a hot day so we did not stay for too long and didn’t see many animals. William had so much fun riding the train and playing in the children’s area!

William is so silly and told us he was taking the train to work just like his daddy!

So many BIG smiles!

Transformers

William’s latest obsession is Transformers! Chris and I recently went to California wine country and William stayed with Pamma. Pamma brought William to work for “take your grandchild to work day,” and let’s just say that he ended up with lots of toys by the end, thanks to Pamma’s cool co-workers. All of his grandparents, as well as Chris and I, have also contributed to his growing Transformers collection.

Red Ear Turtles

On our morning walk today William and I ran into some red ear turtles, a mom and a baby! It's hard to see them in this photo due to the reflection in the water.

Checking out the turtles.

The little red ear baby turtle! Such a sweet little thing.

William's new hat, it is a transformer after all!

Santana @ Ravinia

This past Monday we got to go listen to Santana at Ravinia! We had a great time! Here is a photo of the Fam-Jam!

Fourth of July, 2012

This Fourth of July William got to see the Hawthorn Woods fireworks, be part of the Vernon Hills Fourth of July parade and even got to go swimming at the Hawthorn Woods country club and ride ponies. Lucky boy!

DuPage Children's Museum

William also got to go play with Isabel and Jameson last month at the DuPage Children's Museum!

The kids riding the train!
