Shop 'Til You Drop

Poor Logan we hit Walmart and Trader Joe's this morning. He's a good little shopper but I think he had too much. Nothing like falling asleep with your prize of the day, though!

Potty News

RYLIE SAT ON THE POTTY AND ACTUALLY WENT POTTY FOR THE FIRST TIME TONIGHT!!!!!!! So exciting....its getting closer to only having one in diapers!!!! Then I spent the rest of the night sitting with her in the bathroom when she thought she had to go...what are you going to do....bring a magazine! LOL
More news to come I'll keep you all posted!!

Logan....FINALLY! LOL

This is the second Thursday for Logan's Gymboree class. It works out real well with Rylie's school schedule...we go to class from 9:15-10:00. Today Rylie got on the bus and Logan and I went for a walk down by the fire station. The firefighters were SSSOOOO nice to us (especially Logan) and let us touch the fire truck and they even turned on the lights for Logan to see. He is just in love with TRUCKS! Sorry no pictures from the fire house...we were just out walking and I didn't have my camara...OOPS!

First Day of Preschool

Well, by now Rylie has been in school for almost two weeks. Her first day was sad for me and Logan even cried. Now we are pros and sending her off to school and are even enjoying some much deserved Mommy and son time...even though will still miss Rylie in the morning. She leaves around 8 or 8:15 and then comes home around 11:15 or 11:20. We are still adjusting to our new morning schedule and its weird not having her around for a chunk of the day, but she is adjusting well and loves going to school. Here are a few pictures from her first day and her first bus ride (which happen this past Monday).

Rylie's Party and Birthday

Rylie's 3rd birthday party was a hit! All the family and friends that came and BIG thank you Lynne for lending us her jumping thing, all the kids had a great time jumping!

Then the next day was more partying. We took Rylie and Logan to Choo-Choo Johnnies for Rylie's birthday lunch, then to the park and then met up with Grammy and Pop-Pop for ice cream at Oberweis. It was a hectic but great weekend.

First Train Ride

Sunday morning we took the kids on their first train ride. We had lunch in town at Eggsetera (which is a little restuarant right by the train station in Mokena), then we got on the train to go to Joliet and back. The kids loved it but the story can't end without a little excitement, right??? When coming back from Joliet there was a horde of people getting on at Mokena when we were trying to get off and "the doors are about to close" happened and we were stuck on the train. In all the excitement trying to get off Logan's shoe fell off the train and we had to get off at the Hickory Creek station (about a mile or so out of town) and call Grammy to come and pick us up. We did make it home safely and Logan's shoe was recovered by the Front St Mokena station. FUN TIMES!!! :)
