My first born

Hard to believe, but my first born is 5 today!!

I could write a sentimental blog about how proud of him I am, but don't feel like shedding a few tears over the keyboard. He is maturing into a nice & happy kid, which is all I could ask for.

Happy Birthday Zachary!

Room2Grow

On Thursday we took a trip downtown Chicago with college girlfriends to meet up at Room2Grow, www.room2playchicago.com, which was a fabulous play house for kids of all ages to play & learn. Every suburb/city could definitely use a place like this!
Its safe, fun environment for the kids to run around, play dress up, use their imagination in the kitchen and other numerous areas. It also gave us mom's a chance to catch up while the kids played and we didn't have to worry they were escaping from the play area.
It was a nice change of pace heading to the big city and definitely an activity that I hope we repeat.

This is the best of the group pictures that I was able to get. It was difficult to get 10 kids to look & smile all at the same time...
