To celebrate Grammy's 60th birthday, we spent the night downtown. The girls went to The American Girl Doll Store and the boys went to the Museum of Science and Industry. For dinner we went to the Signature Room and had a beautiful view of the city. It was a great weekend.

Fall Cookies





Both kids love to bake with me, so today we made sugar cookies. We cut out pumpkins, ghosts, and fall leaves. The mixing, cutting, and baking took about half an hour. I'm pretty sure the clean up took twice as long!

Today we went to the Morton Arboretum with Kris and Seth. It was so fun to see all of the fall decorations. Luke and Seth loved climbing on everything. Tessa really liked looking at the scarcrows around the lake.

Tessa's Glasses


Well we just found out our two year old needs glasses.
She woke up last weekend with "googly" eyes. After a scary trip to the ER, it turns out that Tessa is farsighted and her eyes are having a hard time working together to form an image. We're hoping glasses will solve the problem. Here she is in her new glasses.
