Chicago and summer fun

• So- as most of you know...we are moving to Chicago when our house sells. I was up there a couple of weeks ago with the girls and Logan loved it. We drove to see all the "big buildings" and Lake/beachfront. Logan thought Chicago was one of the skyscrapers and was ticked when we didn't actually go in "Chicago". She loved spending time with Grandma and Pops and Uncle Nate. She cried when we had to leave.



• Lilly started using the phrase "I do it" (not even 2 yet). Somehow she can pull out a really cool Italian accent as she says it. She is currently obssessed with brushing her teeth and jumping on things....couches, beds, people. She recently fell off our recliner chair that they were climbing on and landed on her head. I was concerned that she had a concussion since she was walking around dizzy and nearly falling over for a few minutes. She of course was fine.



• I threw Logan's "princess shoes" away today. They were her Easter shoes that she insisted on wearing everywhere and with everything (bathing suits included). I have tried to buy her new shoes but they were not princess shoes according to her (they didn't have a heal). The velcro wore out and that made her so frustrated everytime she tried to put them on herself. I am such a bad mom for secretly tossing them in the trash!



• Logan has also had a wonderful summer with Oma and Opa and spending time at their place. She has learned how to plant seeds and water them and watch them grow. Today she learned how to pot a plant. She loves spending time at the "farmette" as they call it. Lilly likes to swim over there but mostly stand in front of their juke box in the diner and sing "big girls don't cry" and shake her hips!
