Kids!!!
Every Tuesday morning we host a Mom's Group at our house. As the title suggests, it's a time for mama's to come together and share with/support one another. The time and the women have been one of my greatest gifts since having Elynor. Whether answering specific questions or just encouraging one another, it's almost always just what I need.
While the moms and babies gather upstairs, the toddlers + gather in our basement under the supervision of the amazing Miss Heather and Miss Danielle. As you can see from these pics, the kiddos really enjoy their time too!
As you can also see from these pics, at least one vision for our home has come to fruition... hosting and providing a fun, safe, place for groups to gather. Love it!
Snacktime... I think the only time anyone sits still.

A Fun, Productive Weekend
What a fun weekend we had with visits from Grandma V & Grandpa Kev and Aunt Tracy!
We balanced plenty of work (mostly in the yard, gotta take some pics) and play with Grandma V & Grandpa Kev Friday - Sunday... even a birthday celebration for Grandma V! Then Aunt Tracy joined us Monday eve - watching E so we could take in a concert at Ravinia (thanks Tracy - sorry, I didn't get any pics).
E now has her own park! Thanks for sharing Gma & Gpa.
Wheelbarrow rides keep a little 'helpers' hands out of mischief (but watch out - it gets heavy!).
Even with her own park, trips to the big one are still a daily requirement.
A birthday celebration peach cobbler (made by the birthday girl - whoops).

I recently did a project for a coffee company (none of the ones pictured) and came home with several boxes of reference product. Elynor stumbled upon these boxes yesterday and thought she'd hit the jackpot of new toys. In a matter of seconds the small containers were strewn about the kitchen and she was sorting, stacking, and rolling. Funny, none of the women in our research told us about this awesome way to use the coffee containers!? And to think, they each can still be used to brew a cup.

Green Thumb
This captures E's obsession with 'outside', helping outside, and her daddy perfectly. Also, it was her 1st day w/ pigtails. Love it!
