My last playdate with Austin

Here is my buddy Austin. We just happened to be born on the same day in the same hospital! He's really cool.

Here is Austin with his Mom Kristina. She is super nice!


Here we are together outside of our favorite lunch spot. Austin and his family moved to Seattle and we miss them a lot. I hope we can get out there for a visit!

Summer Fun

Just relaxing in the backyard

So I had a rough weekend with 2 major owies. But it's not so bad....bandaids are so cool!

Helping Dad with his work.....again.

Gardening

"Looks good, looks good. I think I like the placement...."

Here I am helping Mom plant the flowers

I was helping Grandma in her garden too. I love playing in the dirt!






Here, Grandpa and I are picking cherry tomatoes. Those are the best!

Art Class

Look! I'm a monkey!!

Here, Grandma and I are at the zoo watching the Rhino.

Art Class!

All the other kids were getting cleaned up, but I still had some

finishing touches to do on my house.

I wore my wings from the previous week the whole way home.

I must admit, they are pretty awesome!

The Rosen's Visit Chicago

I had a great time hanging out with Kristin, John and Baby Claire when they came to Chicago last weekend. In a few months they will be our new neighbors!

Claire and I are eating oranges. I didn't totally love when she hung on me, but at least I got an orange out of it.

Here I am with my new buddies!

Mom is holding baby Ethan Cottrell, Schnella has Claire, and

Kristin is holding little Caroline Cottrell.

Here Dad is with Claire before they went back to NYC.



See ya later guys!

Fun with Friends in MN

Here I am with Grandma B.

And Great Aunt Jane loved to give me kisses.....she's so funny!

Tallie and I are jammin in her basement. I really enjoyed her drum set.



Here I am with Baby Alice (Rapacz). She is a cutie!

Brobie and I are buckled in and ready for our flight back to Chicago.

What a fun time we had!

My Second Birthday!

These are pictures from April 5, 2010, the day I turned 2! I was at Grandma and Grandpa Lenz's house in MN. Here is my day.....

We had the lunch buffet at Pizza Ranch, where I got to eat two of my favorite foods, pizza and corn!

Here is Grandpa helping me blow out the candle on my birthday cake. We (including myself) sang "Happy Birthday" a few times. I love that song.

The cake was delicious! It was just the beginning of cake and cupcakes for the next few days!

Don't I look older now?

Here I am helping Grandma with her hair. I'm big enough to do that sort of thing now.
