My So Called Life: Chicago Quick Trip
http://mysocalledlife-emily.blogspot.com/2015/07/chicago-quick-trip.html
Tuesday, July 21, 2015. The last time we took kids into Chicago Evy was 6 weeks old. We had the chance to tag along with Scott on a work trip last week so I thought I would give it another try now that I am literally a professional at schlepping kids and their stuff. After checking into our hotel, the kids and I hopped a cab to Lincoln Park Zoo while Scott headed off to a reception. The next morning we hit the Museum of Science and Industry. On the way home we swung through the 'Burbs and picked up our c...

My So Called Life: December 2014
http://mysocalledlife-emily.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 21, 2014. We kicked off our Christmas extravaganza at my parent's house this weekend. I just now realize that I did not get a single picture of my Mom or Dad who did 100% of the gift buying, wrapping, and food preparation. Thank you! These cousins had a ton of fun playing together. Great Grandma Maxine and her great grandchildren. Great Grandpa Rex and Great Grandma Elouise with the crazy crew. He hasn't done it again regularly, darn. Because I was still on my lifting restriction Grandma...

My So Called Life: November 2014
http://mysocalledlife-emily.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 18, 2014. Doesn't he look guilty in this photo? Sunday, November 9, 2014. Saturday, November 8, 2014. I am shocked to report that it was very good. And, Evy ate three bowls full. Not the healthiest possible dinner idea, but I call it a win-win. And this gourmet dish is going into the rotation! Monday, November 3, 2014. A Week of Halloween. We kicked off Halloween on Friday, October 24 at Scott's office celebration. On Saturday we hosted 15 kids for Evy's Halloween birthday party. After ...

My So Called Life: January 2015
http://mysocalledlife-emily.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 16, 2015. I've been trying to get pictures of Will each month and post to the blog. He was born on the 5th and usually by the 16th of the month I get around to it. So, this is technically his 7.5 month update! Will loves his big sisters and his big sisters love him. Both girls always ask where he is. They want to hug him and hold him. I'm thinking this will start to go South in about 3 months when he starts to walk. Thursday, January 15, 2015. Sunday, January 4, 2015. We also managed to g...

My So Called Life: This Week
http://mysocalledlife-emily.blogspot.com/2015/07/this-week.html
Tuesday, July 21, 2015. I've been trying to find the right balance between relaxation and activities this summer and I might have missed the mark this week! In the pool by 9:15, but these swimmers don't seem to mind. They love having lessons in the outdoor pool. A big treat since we have only previously done indoor lessons. Evy is in level 5 and doing a great job with front and back floats and the breast stroke. Lots to cram in during summer! Not sure how you get it all accomplished! Blurbs from the burbs.

My So Called Life: July 2015
http://mysocalledlife-emily.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 30, 2015. About 4 weeks ago we started practicing writing Charlie's name. She will start her final year of preschool in a few weeks so I thought we should get a jump on letters and writing. She is doing amazing! She did this (picture above) all by herself and I was so excited when she came home from bible school the other night with artwork that she wrote her own name on! I love her eagerness to learn. She says, "Can I do worksheets? I want to pick them out! Summer Traditions and Randomness.

My So Called Life: Camps
http://mysocalledlife-emily.blogspot.com/2015/07/camps.html
Friday, July 10, 2015. This is the first year we've been introduced to summer camps. The kids have typically been at daycare while I've been at work so these types of activities were not really practical. But now, they are and we could spend every week and $1 million dollars sending the kids to camp! Instead, each girl gets to do two camps this summer. We just completed our first week and the girls had an absolute blast. I think it was an excellent break from our normal no-routine summer days. I am so pr...

My So Called Life: March 2015
http://mysocalledlife-emily.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 24, 2015. The other night as we were getting ready for bed Charlie was talking about mommies and babies and I asked her if she wanted to have a baby when she grew up. She replied, "No. I want to be an elephant when I grow up.". Saturday, March 21, 2015. Evy and Charlie spent Monday and Tuesday at Grandma Joan's and Papa Jake's. Since Evy was out of school we needed someone to watch her and Charlie got to tag along! Not to be outdone, Charlie dictated a note to Grandma:. At 9 months Will we...

My So Called Life: June 2015
http://mysocalledlife-emily.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 27, 2015. Country Music Association Festival 2015. Three years ago we went to the CMA Fest in Nashville. We had such a blast we made a return trip this year. After a 9 hour drive we arrived to the live CMT award show where Darius Rucker, Florida Georgia Line, and Kenny Chesney were performing outside sets. I haven't seen Kenny perform in more than 6 years so I was on a mission to get close to the stage. First drink in Nashville. Florida Georgia Line performance. I was a little upset with L...
