Lillian sitting and laughing with Daddy

Lillian is sitting in her crib!

Lillian can't get up into sitting position on her own but just this week she started really getting the hang of sitting when you set her up. Alan put a play toy on her crib and she sat in here for 10ish minutes before falling over. Look how happy she is! 

Delayed Gratification

We went to Lincoln Square and Potbellies for dinner and we all split a cookie (they are big cookies). About half way through his portion, Simon wrapped the rest of his cookie in a napkin and put it in his pocket - when I asked what he was doing he told me he was saving it for the train ride home. On the train he suddenly got excited and told me it was time for his cookie. Here he is eating it and looking out the window.  What a sweet kid.

Flying home from Arizona

8 hours in the airport (6 hour delay and there 2 hours early) and then a 4 hour flight. It was a long, long day. The kids were amazing though. Here are a few family photos.

Settled in for our long wait.

Finally on the airplane!

In Midway Airport, finally home and very tired.

Flight home from Boston (July 29th, 2013)

Found this in old drafts. It is VERY late now but figured I'd post it.

I was recently reminded I'd forgotten to post about our flight home from Boston. It's been a couple weeks, but here is an overview and a whole lot of pictures.

On Monday it was a long and grueling trip home. 

A BOY is back there! 8 years old and flying by himself.  

Chili Dog! Let me tell you about our trip so far...

Christmas Photos of the Kids

Jenn took photos of the kids before their pictures with Santa...

Day 2 in AZ - March 31

On day two in Arizona Simon became Johnny the Worker Man and shoveled dirt. Then we went to the pool and Simon swam until he turned blue. I pulled him out and he played soccer with Alan and then he swam again. It was another great day. 

On the way home - guess who napped!

On the way home - so very tired.

Reading with Grandpa Bart before bed.
