Spring Hair Cuts

Charlie and Lucas had their hair cut this weekend! This was Lucas's first trip to the groomer and report has it he did much better than his brother!

Surprise Bridal Shower

Sunday we all attended a Surprise Bridal Shower for my cousin-to-be Renee at Buca di Beppo. Since she and my cousin Pat live in Wisconsin, and all of our family is in the Chicagoland area, my cousin Megan thought it would be a great idea to have a small get together with us. It turned out great. If there is anything I like more- it's to surprise someone and pull it off. We did. Rachael, Camille, and Holly

And this fabulous picture of a bride playing soccer!!!

Oh Dear.

Today I was at Dominicks and slipped almost falling on a huge puddle of water in the produce section. I kindly went up to one of the workers to let them know of this puddle and my near accident when the lady said to me "Well the floors here are skid resistant... it would have been impossible for you to fall." I shook my head... there was really nothing more to say...

Moving Day!!!

Saturday we did the daunting task of moving AGAIN!!!! We thought we would be able to accomplish this just the two of us, so we didn't really ask many for help. It's times like these when you appreciate all the support you have from friends and family!!!

Camille and Mike dropped off one of their trucks for us to use Friday morning. My mom and dad dog sat for us all day Saturday and again Sunday... try moving anything with 2 little dogs at your feet the entire time. Someone would have gotten hurt. Ryan and Amanda came early in the morning helping us with a few trips to the new house and back. Morgon and Danny came in the later afternoon with another truck, sub sandwiches, chips, beer, and brownies (who really wants to move now?), and then Rachael and Ryan came later on after the whole mess was at our new place putting things away, and bringing... what else... MORE BEER!!!

We appreciate every laugh, every lift, every box being moved, counter being cleaned, and numerous other things you all did for us on our moving day... can't wait to have you all over again, once we are settled! We owe you one!

Homeowners

Look at us... the happiest new homeowners ever!!!!
No grass on the front yard yet... but in time it will be all prettied up with landscaping and sod!!

Closing Day!

Adam and I closed on our new home March 5th! It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, and we couldn't be happier. The closing went smoothly and we celebrated with Portillos shortly after! Cheers to being done with the loan process!!!!!!!!!!!

Bath Time

Have you ever seen such an oddly shaped puppy dog????

Lucas is definitely growing out of the kitchen sink!!

Birthday Continued

Saturday I celebrated further with another BIRTHDAY dinner, this time, at Maggianos. The wait was insane, so Adam and I headed over to Dicks to look at "golf stuff." February in Chicago isn't easy on my hubby who talks about golf on a daily basis. Good thing we found this bitty putting area to ease the pain of not playing.

Amanda and I are both February Babies so here we are with our tasty lemon cookie treats compliments of Maggianos.

Andrea joins in on our tasty lemon cookie treats!!!

2 bottles of wine, 2 appetizers, a lot of pasta, lemon cookie treats, and we are now ready to go!

Thank you Dave, Andrea, Amanda, and hubby for the fun evening!

One last picture!!!! These 2 girls just brighten my life!!!

***Birthday***

Last Thursday was my birthday. I received so many birthday calls, cards and text messages. My parents were at my house when I got home from work. They brought me a cupcake with a candle placed in it, flowers, and my favorite meal from my favorite Chinese restaurant!!! It was unexpected and fun! Later that night, we went to Jimmy's Charhouse with Alisa and Mike to celebrate even further!
