I Really "Heart" French Fries

I went to Moretti's in Edison Park today with Mom and GG C for lunch. I had a grilled chicken breast, and my favorite treat, french fries. As soon as the waiter brought the plate to Mom I went at them. YUM! Grandma said I ate like an adult. :)

Later in the day Grandma and Grandpa S came over for a visit. We were watching for Uncle Mikey on the WGN News. He was there...front and center...in a clip on how hockey has really taken off in and around the city as the Hawks continue to do so well.

Today I went with Mommy to school in Schiller Park. We watched the multicultural program. I sat in the front row of the bleachers and enjoyed the performance.

Long Time, No Blogging

I've been a busy boy, that's all I can say. I was busy shopping and hosting an Arbonne party over the weekend...which I can't believe Mommy didn't take pictures of! Yesterday, Mommy and I were on a hunt for Trader Joe's rice milk which was no where to be found. Today Mommy taught her last math class of the semester here at LU. I did not want to take a nap for anything today. I just wanted to sit right next to Mommy all day. If she moved even a foot, I was on her heels.

See me on the horse? I made sure it was right next to the chair Mommy was sitting in.

The other picture is me looking at mom making sure she wasn't thinking of walking away from me.

Drew Comes To Play

Today Auntie Mandy needed Drew to stay with us during their softball practice. I never mind when that happens! We played baseball and soccer outside. Drew also pointed out the trucks and the planes to me. I had quite a conversation with him regarding baseball and trucks. Mom doesn't really know what we were saying, but Drew and I got it. We are buddies.

LET's GO HAWKS! Enough said...

An Unexpected Day At Home

Mom was suppose to give a presentation with Uncle Peter today in Galena, but last night my skin acted up. I had a rash and hives all over the place. Why? Who knows.

Anyway, Uncle Peter didn't want Mommy to drive and be so far away from me all day. Thanks, Uncle Peter.

My skin still has tiny bumps behind my ears and around my neck, but the rash has disappeared.

Go Blackhawks!

Misericordia, Heart of Mercy

My Great Grandma Schaefer is a great person. Honestly, Mommy and I consider her a saint. The world is a much better place because she is here. She has touched so many hearts all over. I bet many people would agree with us.

Back in 12/08 when I was born, Grandma picked out this neat Misericordia onesie for me when she was there. It's a 24 month. When she gave it to Mommy, Mommy never thought I'd be big enough to wear it. Well, here I am sporting it!

Mommy's all sappy tonight. Gosh Mom, get a hold of yourself. I'm a big boy, and I'm only going to get bigger! :)

Born Digital

I am definately a digital native. Mom's reading the book by John Palfrey called Born Digital which talks about the kids of my generation who are born with technology at our fingertips...literally. Look at me learning away on Mommy's iPhone. I'm really big on the Preschool Music app as well as the Old MacDonald's Farm app lately. It's a tool to help me learn and I'm using it to the best of my abilities with Mom's assistance. :)

Look! I was able to eat two cookies today! Allergy free cookies that is... Mommy forgot about these "Enjoy Life" cookies that she ate while she was feeding me. They are "chocolate chip" and sooo good! I ate the first one before she finished cleaning up the lunch bowl. Crazy good...

Finally, Daddy bought a little lobster yesterday for he and mom to split. Look at him teasing me with it. I wanted to grab those little claws!!

A Day With Uncle Mikey and Tonya

Today, Uncle Mikey and Tonya came for lunch. I was so excited when my uncle came to the door. I had a big smile! We ate, played with my bats and baseball tee that they brought me, and took a nice walk outside.

I hope they come back to visit again soon, or I at least get to see them again soon! They are so much fun to be with!

Stir Crazy in the Apartment!

I feel like I was teased last week with all that beautiful weather. I got used to being outside almost every day. Day 2 of being stuck inside...

Tomorrow we are going to visit mommy's school! Yay for seeing the kids and the teachers!

Easter Tuesday with Grandma and Grandpa

Yesterday, my Grandma and Grandpa came down to visit me. Grandpa was golfing with his friends around here, so Grandma worked from home from our apartment while Mommy taught her class. They came with a big surprise; an Easter basket for me!

Inside was a new baseball glove! My first of many, I'm sure. Also, a cute container of Cheerios, some bubbles (Mrs. Case, I thought of you!!), and a really cool Donald Duck with an Easter Bunny costume on who sings and dances. But, don't pick him up by his rabbit ears! He doesn't like that!

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

And...Happy Birthday Daddy and Mark!

Today was not only special because of Easter, it is also my Daddy and my cousin Mark's birthday. GG had a nice ice cream cake for dessert (one of many desserts) at Aunt Mary's today. We sang H.B. to them and everyone else enjoyed dessert while I enjoyed playing with Grandma's bracelet and Auntie Tammy's bracelet. Someday...I'll eat that birthday cake too!

Happy birthday Daddy and Mark!

Alleluia!! Jesus is Risen!

Mommy told me the story again this year. Friday afternoon we went to her former church/school in Chicago to watch the 8th graders perform the Living Stations of the Cross and we saw Jesus die on the cross. But on the third day, the tomb was empty because Jesus is ALIVE! HOORAY!! What a great ending to the story! I want to hear it again and again.

Mommy said we must celebrate this great day in a special way. So, Mommy and Daddy went to church, then I hunted for Easter eggs, and then we headed to Aunt Mary's for a delicious Easter lunch. I was able to see my Grandmas, aunts, uncles, and cousins. It was a beautiful day. Aunt Mary makes so much food. I am amazed. I ate the lamb, but that was about it this year. Hopefully next year some of the food allergies will be history and I'll be able to eat some more of her yummy food.

Jesus is alive, and lives within all of our hearts. Let Him be visible to all you meet.
