Ryan's

Leprechaun Box 

I lost a lot of pictures from this time period, so I don't have any of the kids with their Leprechaun boxes! BOO!

March 18th

 Gramma took some pictures of Ryan while he was having a day w/Gramma. Here he is painting and decorating his wooden train he picked out at the craft store!  Gramma always does special things w/the kids when they are with her for the day...love it!

Noah's 1st Birthday

Rob hired the same balloon artists that he and Lisa had at Sydney's 1st birthday party. The kids loved it. They got to pick out anything, whatever they wanted and they would make it out of balloons! What a special day for my nephew...which I don't even have any pictures of b/c I lost my pictures from this date and I am trying to get any pictures anyone has.The day was very festive and fun-filled....with the big elephant in the room...my sister, Noah's Mommy, missing.  It's just surreal that these beautiful children do not have a Mommy anymore. We made it thru the day, but never easy.

Happy 1st Birthday Noah! My little Mr. Mister!

 Ladybugs meet for brunch before Stephanie flies back to Hawaii w/her Dad, after a recent stroke he had. She'd been here for about a month..so it was nice getting together some. 

 Birthday!

Adler Planetarium

Super fun day at the Adler Planetarium w/Gramma!  It was a Free Day and it wasn't too bad, that I remember, for being crowded.  Gramma got tickets to One World, One Sky: Big Bird's Adventure and it was a great show for the kids.  Ryan was a little scared but has recently started talking about this day and that show again, since they are talking about the planets in preschool.  I think it's time to go back again! He'd love it! Of course, the girls loved exploring too!
