Kinderplatz 2010

The kids had a great time at the St. Cletus Kinderplatz. Do you love the Cardinal in Lederhosen? That was Elizabeth's idea :)

Go Hot Pink Cardinals!

Sunday afternoon Meg had her first volleyball game. Its a whole other set of rules when the kids are this young, so it was a little confusing for Mom and Dad, but the team looked strong. All of the girls on her team are in her class and they did great together. Meg has a very strong serve.

Zoo with the Taylors

Saturday after soccer we met up with friends from Purdue, Niki and Brad. We got to meet their daughter Avery for the first time and see Devin again. Devin really warmed up to Meg and Zach by the end. So much so, that we did dinner together so he could have more time playing with the kids. It was a fun, relaxing Saturday afternoon.

St Cletus Homecoming 2010

Sunday was St. Cletus School's Homecoming. The rain held off so the kids could decorate cars and ride in the parade. Our Varsity team defeated St. Isaac Jogues from Hinsdale, but the JV lost.

Kicking off another Soccer season

The kids had their own cheering section Saturday at soccer. Grandma Chris came up to visit and Gene and Dale, our neighbors, also braved the rain to watch the kids show off their soccer skills. Zach's team tied while Meg's team won their game.

Kane County Cougars

Saturday we enjoyed checking out Geneva, IL before the Kane County Cougars game. The game ended with fireworks and then they let the kids run the bases.

First Days of School

Zach started 1st Grade and Meg started 3rd grade on Tuesday. Of course they both had gym the first day so Chris took pictures on the second day as well so we could see how cute they look in their uniforms.

Tourist for a day...

Friday we had a great time at the Bears Family Night. We're looking forward to Football starting back up.

Sunday we were Chicago Tourists for a day. We got there early, shopped a little and did lunch at Billy Goat. We really enjoyed their children's show, The Emperor's New Clothes. After the show the sun came out so we rode the ferris wheel and did some of the other rides.
