The Group of Hunters

We had another busy Easter. Saturday morning we headed down to Indy for the McLean family egg hunt. Because it was so cold the hunt was quick but the fun started when all the kids used their bunny bucks to buy things at the bunny store.
Back in Lafayette we met Josh and his new puppy Bruno. He is a Great Dane and the Meg loved him and Zach headed to higher ground on the sofa. The next morning the kids last hunt of Easter was on and then it was off to church.

Happy Easter everybody.

Getting Ready for Easter

Friday night we had a fun get together with some other families from Meg's class. We all went to dinner together. I didn't even know Applebees would take a reservation for 23!

Saturday we went to the LaGrange Easter Egg hunt. They moved it indoors because we've had alot of rain lately. The kids had a good time. The other kids in the picture are Kyle and Kaitlyn, classmates of Meg.

Sunday we met Christa, Bill and Will at the Botanical Gardens.The weather looked threatening, but it never did rain on us.

Zach's last day of swimming

Zach was still sick on Monday, but he was better by Tuesday. Thursday Meg got sick though. We got her on amoxocillin and she was feeling better in no time.

Friday night Grandpa Goellner came up for a visit. We went out for dinner and then Elizabeth went out for a 'girls night out' while Meg and the boys watched a movie at home.

Saturday we had Meg and Zach's last Saturday swim lesson. Zach did great in swimming, we'll have to look for more sessions this summer. Meg will continue with her Wednesday classes, and soccer will start filling our Saturday mornings soon.

Sunday we went to see a children's show at Navy Pier. The show was great and it was a beautiful day to walk around. We had a great time this weekend.

Sick Zach

Friday morning I got a call from daycare saying that Zach was running a 103 fever. Saturday morning he was still sick so we took him to the doctor while Meg went to swimming. He tested positive for strep throat so we were glad we went. We started putting medicine in him right away but he was too contagious to get to go anywhere Saturday or Sunday.

Meg still had a busy weekend. Friday night Meg and Mom met some friends at an Irish pub after dinner. Saturday night we went to our friends the Nash's for a little St. Pat's party. Sunday we went to Mass in the morning and then she took went with Dad on some errands.

He seems to be feeling better now, but I still haven't decided if he is ready for school Monday, we'll see.

Happy Birthday Uncle Bobby!

Lets do this in reverse...

Sunday, Uncle Bob celebrated his 21st birthday on so we drove down to help the party. The kids loved getting to see Uncle Bob, Grandma and Josh.

Friday, school was closed. Dad and the kids had a busy day together. Dunkin' Donuts and hiking at the Morton Arboretum in the morning. Then the children's museum and finger painting in the afternoon.

Monday, President's Day, Meg stayed home sick. Later that day, Zach made his stage debut in the 2's room production of Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. Stay tuned and we will put up a video soon.

Snow Fun

After a great week which included a Valentine's dinner prepared for the ladies by Dad and Zach. We had another big event in the house, multiple successful #2s on the toilet by Zach!!!!!!

What better way to end a great week then with some sledding. We hope everyone has a great week.

Have a Happy Valentne's Day

This weekend we had some special visitors, Grandma and Grandpa McLean. They came to swimming lessons on Saturday and then we checked out the Downers Grove Ice Sculpture Festival.

Sunday we got up early to get bagels at Panera and then we showed them around the Morton Arboretum.

The big news this week is that Zach is now in underwear. He is very proud to be a big boy. He is doing pretty well. Hopefully, we'll be done having accidents in a few weeks.

The kids are looking forward to their Valentine's Day parties at school on Wednesday.
