 Awesome dad moment

Jolie was totally exhausted after the zoo.

Uncle Zach came to visit for a few days before his move to Hawaii.  We took him to the zoo, the pool, and celebrated his birthday with him.

I tried to make Zach as old as me...oops!

Trip to Chicago for Steph's 30th

 We had to hit the park as soon as we got there to burn off some energy.

 Steph ran in a Tough Mudder on her birthday.

 Shedd Aquarium

 Painting pottery with Steph, Skye, Andrew and Grandma

 Our first time to an American Girl Store!  Lena was so excited she ran up and hugged the door.

 Brunch on Southport

Adult night out to celebrate.

 We took a quick trip to Vermilion to celebrate Grandpa P's bday/dad's bday/Mother's Day this year  The guys went golfing while all of the girls payed and had ice cream.

Then M and L wanted to make dad a cake to celebrate on his actual birthday...so we ate cake twice.

Maddie and Lena graduated from preschool this spring.  We loved their school, teachers, and all the friends they made while they attended for two years.  This fall they will be going to Immaculate Conception for full day kindergarten!
