Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads! We are so lucky to be in the company of so many great ones...my Dad, Mark & Dennis of course are my favorites but we have learned so much from other great Dads in our lives- Al, Tom, Shane & many others!! I hope you all had a great weekend and parred every hole!

Gracie’s Chair

Grace loved Aidan’s chair at Jim and Noreen’s so much that Erin ordered one for our place.  I can’t believe how much she likes this chair.  Not only does she like it, she’ll push anyone out of it that tries to sit in it.  

Hawk Harrelson

Jim and Noreen were kind of enough to take us to the Sox game in the fancy seats last weekend.  As we were leaving the game we happen to be waiting for the elevator next to White Sox announcer Hawk Harrelson.  Hawk had a baseball ball in his pocket and tried to give it to Grace.  Grace refused to take it from him and made her father proud.  In my mind, this means she’s going to be a Cubs fan.  That said, Hawk was extremely nice and even signed the ball “To Gracie, My Luv’ Ken Harrelson – Hawk”.  That was a very classy move.   I now hate them a little less.  

Dancing

Grace is already a better dancer than her father.

Sharing a Milk Shake

Both Grace and her pregnant mother love chocolate milk shakes.  One of them is better at sharing than the other.  Check out this video clip.  

Auf wiedersehen Aileen

They say good things come to those who wait and it is true!  We waited months to find the perfect person to watch Gracie and Nicholson and we found her!  Aileen watched the kiddos for seven months and we are SO lucky to have her in our lives - now, she is off to audition for a dance school in Munich Germany and we wish her the best of luck...though selfishly, we want her back too!!!  She taught Gracie how to blow kisses, sign language and how to be the sweet and fun lady that she is today!

Best of Luck to you Aileen and we miss you so much & wish you the very best!!!
