A very friendly butterfly that frequents our garden.

fun in the sun

We went to the Indiana Dunes with our friends. It was soooooooooo fun.

Avery collected some rocks.

We climbed the big hill.

block party

The annual block party is the most exciting thing in the whole entire universe for Cole. One of the best parts, besides being allowed to play in the street, and besides the bouncy, and besides the cupcakes, is the visit from Engine 12 (also his very favorite number) and getting to spray the hose. How cool is that!?

I'm back!

Well, sort of. By popular demand, Cole's blog is being updated. But I ("Mommy")will be doing it on his behalf since he is busy living his life instead of documenting it! Here are a few pictures from that last few weeks.

A day at Millenium Park.

The mini-donut machine at the farmer's market. Nothing says farm-fresh like a hot greasy donut. Mmmmmm!

Corn and beans for everyone!

Did you ever know that an owl can drive?

This will tell you what's been going on!

It was cool watching this dinosaur hatch out of its egg. It was not real!


This is a street sweeper. It went all around our court. We drew an X on the street to see if it cleaned it off but it did not.


This is a wonderful vacuum because it vacuums up all of the dirt in like six seconds. It came from Kohl's I think and I like it there because it sounds like my name but it doesn't have the same letters as my name.


Mommy took this picture because we went on the train for a field trip.
