Karebear and the Clan

Karen and the kids made it down to Illinois. We couldn't help but joke that she had to escape the cold and snow to come to Illinois for vacation. We enjoyed 70-degree weather, pedicures, creme brulee coffee, and of course, just the time together. The kids had a great time, too. These visits are never long enough. Looking forward to visiting them in MN this August. Whoo hoo!

The Great Escape

We made it to the Dells last month in order to minimize cabin fever. It was a blast!

T-Bone turned 5 today! Can't believe our little 3-pounder is now about 40 pounds and 5 years old. Time goes by so fast!

Quick Trip

 
 
 
 
We made a day get-away to Schaumburg. The boys and I visited Legoland Discovery Center and Rainforest Cafe at Woodfield Mall. I lost count how many times Gavin told me thank you and he loved me. Ha!
