Shedd Aquarium


Today we went to Shedd Aquarium. The kids all had fun. I think Sofia was a little scared when the dolphins came at her. Sofia and Alyssa really liked the penguins. Which didn't surprise me since Sofia loves the move Happy Feet.

Some Random Pictures

The sky was so pretty last night.

The kids playing with their sand and water table.

These are pictures from the park. We took "all" the kids to the park on Sunday. It was such a nice day.
Alyssa, Sofia and Drew were all playing footsie!!
I hope everyone enjoyed their Memorial Day weekend. We sure did. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for having us over for a cookout. Drew had a first today. He gave Grandma and Aunt Tina a kiss. On a side note, Steve lost his Aunt Kay this weekend. She was a special woman and we always enjoyed our time with her. She will be missed.

Busy Wednesday

Today, we took Drew to get served for our refinalization. I brought the camera, and the old guy told me I couldn't take any pictures. So we didn't get any of Drew being served.
After that Drew had a doctors appointment for a consultation.
After dinner tonight I cut "the boys" hair. Drew needed a hair cut, he sweats so much. This summer is going to be a rough one for him I can already tell.
We were watching American Idol and Sofia was so happy to see Fergie. She loves her. She was singing and dancing just like her.
For our bed time story, we read the book grandma got us. "I wished for you" an adoption story... We all enjoyed the book. If your looking for a good book I would recommend this one.

"Questions"

I just wanted to share some of the questions we were asked. We were at a restaurant, and here are some of the questions that we were asked. We were shocked that we had so many questions and comments. I hope this is not a everyday event. I just can't believe some people.

This one was from a waitress (not even ours)
1) Are you there parents?
We said Yes
2) "Are they "REAL" brother and sister"
We said Yes.

Another waitress: (not even ours)
"Are they twins????"
What I wanted to say "do you see the size difference"
What I said was she is 3 and he's 1.

A customer asked us
"Are they "REAL" brother and sister."
We said Yes.
"Oh what are there names?"
We told them this is Sofia and Drew
"Oh they are sure cute"
Thank you

Sofia's first time fishing.....(Thank you Donna and Terry)



Sofia's first fish... Sofia did really well. She was able to reel in the fish. Daddy asked her if she wanted to kiss the fish, she said no way. But on the way home she wanted to know why her fish wasn't coming home with her.

Sofia also got to collect eggs, and see the baby kitty's. Sofia and Drew wanted to go swimming in the hot tub....
Thank you so much Terry and Donna. We all had lots of fun.
She was so tired from all the fun......
