Catching Up ... Summer 2010

This summer we settled into her new house in Westmont. We like the new neighborhood and the additional space has definitely eased some of the stresses of our last house in Downers Grove.

Nora the architect... You have to notice the symmetrical design.


We took a trip down to Houston for Ben's second birthday. Here is a picture of the cousins during the trip... they are getting better at sitting still long enough...


Just about every night one of us has the following conversation with Brennan as he is going to bed:

Brennan - Momma, I need to tell you something
Momma - What is it?
Brennan - Can I ride my bike tomorrow?

It's very important to him...


Swimming.



Nora got a special treat... ice cream!


More bike riding...


Nora was dressed up for something... yup those are blue socks and purple shoes.


Nora started pre-school this fall. Here she is on her first day of school!!


Nora's 4th birthday. She had an ice cream cake with a princess theme - she insisted on being a princess for her party!
