Let It Snow!

The boys were definitely born to live in the midwest!  They play hard in the summer, and can't get enough of the snow in the winter!  We'll try tubing next!  We wish everyone a fabulous new year!

First time ice-skating! This was taken at the Winter WonderFest at Navy Pier.


The boys have also been getting ready for Christmas by "trying" to be good.
Did they make it to Santa's Naughty or Nice list?

Justin & Ryan's 1st Day of Pre-School !!!!!!

After a LONG 3 years and 9 months staying at home with my very active twin boys, I am FINALLY getting a break.  Justin and Ryan are now attending Grace Lutheran PreSchool (in Streamwood, IL) twice a week for 3 hours.  There was not one tear shed, as the boys adapted more easily than I ever imagined possible. They LOVE their teachers, Miss Claire and Miss Lisa, and love the fact that they are Big Boys that can go to school like the other kids in the neighborhood. We wish all a great Labor Day weekend.
