Ollie Gets Comfy!

Ollie is certainly making himself at home now. He joins us on our bed or Kurt's bed EVERY night.

Bourbonnais Bound - Bears Camp

Jim and Kurt took a day trip to Bears Training Camp. Kurt could not believe how big the players were. One of the highlights was the kid's play zone and the tunnel. I think this might become an annual tradition for the Pennell boys!

Kurt Tubes on Lake Zurich

Kurt had a blast tubing on Lake Zurich. We also tried fishing that day, but the fish just were not interested.

Future Little 500 Rider

Kurt took off on his bike today. The next few days we will work on crashing "gracefully" and turning. It was truly amazing to watch him take off.

Summer Fun

We have been keeping very busy this summer. Here is a wide array of fun shots...

Matthew is a good napper and gets blanket imprints on his cheek.

Kurt and Ollie
Matthew certainly likes to eat!

We make a point to visit a new park every week. Kurt declares after going to the new one that it is his "favorite park ever." It also helps that they are putting in new parks all over Lake Zurich. There are some pretty cool ideas out there.

Matthew loves the park too - unfortunately, I can't keep up with the little man too well anymore.

Kurt was very brave and went into the petting zoo area to pet a llama, pig, goose, duck, rabbit, goats, lambs, and cows. The highlight (sadly) was when the cow went pee.

And finally, one of my favorites is that Matthew loves to sneak up on people and give them hugs. Complete with an "awwww." So adorable!

Colorado with the Sullivan Gals

I went to Colorado with some of my fellow Sullivan girls to visit Michelle. The weather was perfect the entire time we were there. We made day trips to Breckenridge and Denver. One of our highlights was also a stop-over in Sioux Falls, SD. Can't wait to return, to Colorado, that is!

Sprinkler

The boys LOVE the water and go in it any chance we can get.
