A New Pool to Share

Yay! Today after church we did some grocery shopping and came home to eat a healthy grilled lunch made by Daddy and enjoy some time splashing in my pool. I had some toys and splashed around in it for awhile. Then I played with my beach ball and ran around (along with some quality iphone learning time). Then we went on a walk around campus with my wagon. I stopped to check out St. John Baptiste DeLaSalle's book. He's the patron of teachers (Yay!) What a beautiful day to be outside!

Sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa's House

Here are some pics from my sleepover party with my grandparents. I'm glad Grandpa sent the pics to Mommy so we can share them with you! I always have such a great time when I go there.

Grandparents are special people. I remember mine today who are both here on earth as well as in heaven watching down on me.

Let the Chicago Neighborhood Festivals Begin!

Mommy and Daddy picked me up from Grandma and Grandpa's this afternoon just in time for Grandpa to go to the Cubs game with Uncle Mikey. We continued on east to the Belmont and Sheffield Festival for some great food and live music. Mommy and Daddy enjoyed the beverages as well. :) I had a blast checking out all of the "da-doos" (dogs).

Mommy bought me a pool and some bubbles today. We blew some bubbles outside before I ate my dinner and took my bath.

Now...GO HAWKS! I hope for good news from Mommy in the morning.

Vince's Graduation Party

Cousin Dina sent my Mom these pictures from Vince's graduation party last Saturday. As you can tell, I had a great time.

I'm enjoying a sleep over at my Grandma and Grandpa's house in Chicago right now. Yay!

Feelin' Hot Hot Hot

It's been quite steamy down here in Romeoville. Has it been warm where you are living?

We have been so busy and I have not had time to update my blog. Sorry about that!

I was able to get outside a bit yesterday in the late afternoon to play. I do not like having to come back inside though. I would stay outside all day if my mom would let me. She didn't like that my cheeks were getting all red and I wasn't that excited about drinking a whole cup of water like she wanted me to.

So, after 30 minutes she made me come inside. I did...but kicking and screaming.

Graduation Weekend at LU

Friday night Daddy found a fish in his bowl left in a residence hall all on it's own. I woke up Saturday and gave it a LONG look. I think he's kind of neat.

Graduation weekend is busy for our family. Daddy always has to work it and this year Mama did too because she's on the LU Alumni Board. I was able to go with and see all the graduates with Mama. Fun times! I charmed the crowd, yet once again. :)

Abby

Abby came to spend the day with me today. We had lots of fun playing with my toys. We even took a wagon ride to my Daddy and her Mommy's office after our naps this afternoon. It was a great day!

Happy Mothers' Day Grandmas!

Moms and Grandmas are special. Mommy and I realize this and are thankful every day. During this month of May, we are especially thankful for Mary, our mother in heaven. We say our rosary daily to ask for her help. Who better than our Heavenly Mother to call upon to interceed for us to our Lord.

We started off the day with mass at St. Constance. Half way through I got a bit antsy, so we walked to the back and I waved to the "Mimi" (Mary) and "Jezis" (Jesus) figures in the Holy Family statue. We thanked "Mimi" for guiding us along the way.

Then it was off to Gram's. Grandma Schaefer has Mothers Day brunch every year. This was her 28th year! Today was just as great as ever. I hope some day I can eat the food on the table. This year she made corned beef casserole with rye bread which Daddy really liked. She also made an egg casserold with parsley and mozzarella, which Mommy really liked. In addition, she made Uncle Mikey's favorite hash brown potato casserole, the french toast bake with an apple syrup, chocolate toffee scones, cinnamon chip coffee cake, cinnamon mini rolls, and a marscapone & ricotta appetizer with fresh strawberries. YUM! Mommy and Daddy said it was so delicious and really hard to stay portion controlled, but they did it! It was worth it!

After brunch the moms and grandmas opened their gifts and then we took Grandma C home and were off to pick up some goodies for Daddy's party tomorrow. Now we are home and relaxing from a long week.

Happy Mothers Day, Grandmas! Happy Mothers Day to my Godmother, Auntie Mary Faith! Happy Mothers Day to all of my blog readers who are mommies!

A Fabulous Visit To Indy

I am home and back to normal after a few days down in Indianapolis. My cousins Megan and Luke live down there. We were able to see their school yesterday morning, went to Red Robin with them for dinner last night and then stayed for a little birthday celebration this afternoon for Luke. Before we left, I got to sit in the limo Uncle Paul was going to drive tonight. We had a great time!

Thanks Uncle Paul, Auntie Stephanie, Megan, and Luke for having us. Please have us again!

A Day With Gram and Dinner at Pete's

I was able to spend the whole day yesterday with Grandma! Mom worked at SC all day so I was able to play at Grandma's house. What fun! After Mom came back, we all went to Pilot Pete's for dinner. YUM!

I enjoyed the view as well as my french fries...again. :)

I'm off to visit my Uncle Paul, Aunt Stephanie, and cousins Megan and Luke down in Indianapolis for the next few days. Talk to you when I'm back!
