may updates in photos

it's been awhile. we've been keeping busy. as the following picts will show...we've done a LOT of train things. this boy is really into it..so it's fun.
in all of the pictures, he's pretty much hanging out the window!

anyway, a good few weeks.

we took a trip to chicago to see our nieces dance recital. aidan and reese were super cute and it was so awesome to see g interacting with his cousins.



we hit his favorite chicago restaurant...the choo choo restaurant.

a train pulls the food out to the customers. i don't think g could get any closer:


but the highlight of the trip was taking the el train around town. he is still talking about it...and how you have to "stay behind the blue line".


he and aidan waved goodbye to the el:


we've been working on griffin's new room. dan's been busy sanding, scraping, painting and getting everything put together. it shouldn't be too much longer. g even picked the accent wall color. (he says blue is his favorite color).


griffin and i went to cheer our friend dina on at her duathalon. she rocked.



this past weekend was a great long holiday weekend. dan and i went to a twins/brewers baseball game which was a lot of fun. then went to pie's surprise 40th.

on sunday we met the friedrichs in taylors falls and did a boat ride.



the weather couldn't have been better. the kids were great and we decided to go 10 miles to osceola, wi and go on a train ride. g loved it.
he and jimmy are super buds:


we followed up the day going to their house for an impromptu bbq and enjoying the weather.

a great couple of weeks - it's crazy how time flys and we are already starting the summer!!

dan runs his 1/2 marathon on sunday. he's going to be awesome. looking forward to cheering him on!!
