The Girls' First Cubs game!!!!

Rick and I took the girls to their very first Cubs game today. They were playing the Cincinnati Reds. We were thinking that they would only last, at the most, 6-7 innings. But they surprised us by lasting the whole 9 innings. It was so much fun being their as a family, and even better that the Cubs won 3-2!!! This is our year!!!

GO CUBS GO!!!!!!!!!

We' re Back!!

It has been almost two months since I have blogged. To be honest with you I just got tired of doing it. I needed a break. Anyways, we are back. A lot has changed since June. The girls are now officially TODDLERS. They are walking, running, and showing a lot of personality and opinions. They aren't talking yet, but they definitely get their point across. They love being outdoors, LOVE reading, and love eating. Here are a whole bunch of pictures from the last month or so, starting from today.

Afternoon at the Zoo!

Today I decided to take the girls to the Lincoln Park Zoo. The last time we went was their first time, but it was cold. This time the weather was beautiful!!! Here are some shots of our day.

Uncle Herb visits

Uncle Herb arrived on Sunday. We had fun playing with him. He was so surprised at how big the girls had gotten. We love Uncle Herb!!

Happy Father's Day!!

Sunday was a great day. Thankfully, the weather turned out to be nice and Rick, my dad, and Rick's dad were able to enjoy their day. We had the whole family over. Here are some pictures from last year and this year. It's fun to see the changes.

They are WALKING!!!

Yes, Eva and Sofia have both started walking. It is so fun watching them practice, and also so scarey to think that in a couple weeks I will have two toddlers walking and running around the house. Oh, boy!!

Summer Fun!!

We finally got the girls their pool for the back. And today was the perfect day to use it. They love the water!

Nona and Nono even came by to see their cool babies splash around. "Cool" must run in the family.
