Florida 2009

Patrick on the Saint Augustine Beach, March 2009. We enjoyed our stay with Grandma and Grandpa Corcoran.

Cousin Fun

Patrick's cousins came down for a Valentine's visit. Mackenzie and I made a trip to the new American Girl store and Patrick, Keegan, and Charlie went upstairs to play basketball. Today looks like another great day (a little colder though) hopefully we get outside. Enjoy the pictures.

Beautiful Day

Today was a gorgeous day here in Chicago, especially for February! We decided to go look at a few houses, not quite in the suburbs but close. We really enjoyed our day and we were able to walk all around the neighborhood that we are looking in (Sauganash). There were lots of families and children out and about. It sure would be nice to have a little yard for Patrick and Miko. Here are a few recent pictures of Patrick just hanging out around the house. He is growing up so fast. He has a new word every day. This last week was Elmo's birthday so Elmo visited Patrick's school. Now Patrick loves "mElmo"! I have never been a big fan of Elmo but it is fun to watch him get so excited. Patrick knows all of his body parts and loves to dance and play ring around the rosie (and fall down). He still loves all of his trucks and books and is starting to play more with his kitchen. He likes to cook us breakfast on the weekends. We are really enjoying Patrick and watching him grow and learn everyday. He is definitely a BIG BOY now!

Merry Christmas

Our computer is working....sorry about the delay

Patrick's Back Yard

Patrick loves his back yard and doesn't mind that he has to share it with the rest of the city.
