Daughter Date

It's been very busy around here lately and it's been difficult to have special one-on-one time with the kiddos.  In the past, Greg & I have taken the girls on dates but it's fallen by the wayside as our schedules have gotten busier.  Perhaps that fourth child tipped us over the edge....?

Weekend in Chicago (As Told Through Grainy & Blurred Photos)!

Ok guys.  Here I am trying to take this blog thing seriously and all I have to show for my efforts is very grainy & blurred iPhone pics of an incredible weekend.  Mostly I will blame Greg for this, as I put him in charge of most photo ops, which he saw as an opportunity to take out
