So sweet

No words for this one...just had to share these!

Just hanging out at home

Some great candid shots of how we've spent our days lately...

Conor showing off the hippo chocolate that our friend Ryan sent from Germany. He still asks for "Germany chocolate" daily for dessert. Thanks for all the treats, Ryan!!

Trip to the Zoo

In May, we took a trip to Brookfield Zoo with our good friends, the Torio's. Madelyn and Conor have been best friends since birth. They had a blast together. Riley had a nice long nap!

Caught underneath the waterfall in the monkey's jungle habitat. Sitting in the boat next to the alligator exhibit.

Peaceful and precious!

Watching the seals and sea lions up close, and counting them as they swim by.

Checking them out from above too.

Best buddies!!!

Lovin' daddy for giving him a better view.

Precious moments

Here is a sweet photo to hold you over until I have a chance to download photos from the camera and upload them to the website from the past month....we have been busy. Stay posted.

One Month Old

A victim of her brother's love of stickers...mom and dad just turned away for a moment and Conor had tattooed Riley with several stickers while she was sleeping.

We broke out the playmat and I think Conor was more excited to see it than Riley!


Practicing some tummy time.

Close up of our pretty girl.

Trip to the Childrens Museum

After a couple rainy days spent in pajamas recovering from the graduation festivities, we decided to take advantage of our time at home together by making a trip to the Children's Museum in Rockford. Here are some pictures from our day.

Astronaut Conor

Fun in the mirror maze

Riley was able to enjoy the day mostly from behind closed eyelids!

Trying out the flight simulator

Seeing how air can push balls through a maze of tubing...one of Conor's favorite attractions

Enjoying the play area outside when the rain took a break and the sun decided to peek through the clouds

Brother and Sister

There is nothing so sweet as the tender moments between a proud big brother and his brand new baby sister. Conor has not shown any jealousy or animosity towards her, and continues to be proud, protective, affectionate, and helpful!! We couldn't ask for anything better.
