Mother's Day Kisses

We hope all of the mothers out there had a great mothers day. We had a fun week. Wednesday Meg's class had a Mother's Luncheon. Our neighbor, Dale, went for Meg. Then Thursday Meg's class had a field trip to the Field Museum. Mom picked her up at the end of the trip and she got to visit work and ride the train home. Saturday Meg had a soccer game. Sunday we visited the Arboretum and had some friends over for dinner.

Little Artists

We had a busy week and didn't take any pictures. So lets take this opportunity to show off some of the kid's art work. The pictures to the left are from Meg. She drew them at church and then colored them in when we got home. One is a self portrait and the other is Zach in the morning.

Want to see more of the kids artwork?

Have a nice week everyone.

Blue Knight Auction Group

This weekend we headed to Lafayette for the 14th Annual Blue Knight Auction. We had some time to kill when we arrived so we took the kids to fly kites. It was the perfect day for it. The auction was fun and the decorations looked amazing. Mom did a great job. The kids enjoyed their night with a babysitter.

Sunday we left early to get back for soccer. This is an informal league where Zach can play too. He was very excited to get to play soccer. Sunday afternoon we worked on the yard. We've had so much rain lately that the lawn looks great!

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.
