April Showers

Despite the cool, rainy weather, we had a fun-filled weekend!

 Kate made it to her first Diners, Drive-In's and Dive's spot!

Happy!

Train Trip!

Kate and her bestie, James, took a trip on the Metra this week to a book store in Downers Grove (with Jeanette, of course)!  Kate had a great time and now enthusiastically says, "Choo Choo" when we see a train.

 Stuffed dog, don't worry:)

Buddies!

We Love Weekends!

 It's really best practice to go down a slide with a baseball in your hand.

 Crusin' the Hood

 Big girl in her big chair (Thanks Matthew, Becki and Ryan!)

 Don't worry mom and dad, I'll take care of these for you.

Is there anyone who doesn't like Nutella?

Busy Bunny!

Kate had a busy, fun Easter Weekend!

 Kate, make sure Grandpa Eder doesn't take much of your candy :)

 The egg hunting training session payed off!

 Enjoying a relaxing morning at home

We had the park all to ourselves!

Beach Bum

Kate and I hopped in a plane to see Grandma and Grandpa Sand in Florida!  We also got to visit with Amy & Cort, get a little sun and go to the beach.  Overall, the Florida/retirement lifestyle suits Kate very well :)

Family Fun Day

Between Drew's spring break and my day off, we all got to enjoy a weekday together.  We made our first visit to the Kohl Children's Museum and, of course, played outside!

 

Cheddar Curtain

We spent this past weekend with the Eder clan in Madison!  Kate liked swimming, hanging with her cousins and cheese curds!

 Kate's swimming suit did not fit and she wasn't happy about it!

 Thanks to cousin Adeline, we got one that worked!
