Maddie made this for me at school for Mother's Day :)
We got this outdoor climber for Maddie's 3rd birthday! But since her birthday is in November, we never put it together
until now! Maddie climbed all the way to the top and wanted Joseph to take her picture.
At Costco! James's first time in a shopping cart! He later got jealous because Maddie was able to eat the snacks and he couldn't.
After dinner, James and Maddie were playing in the kitchen, and James started to crawl towards Maddie!!! I was able to get a couple of videos! He's crying and grunting, I'm not sure if it's because he's trying really hard to crawl, or if it's because he wants Maddie's toy, or both!
We are so glad he started to crawl before we went on vacation!
We took a road trip down to Tulsa to see family! We left on Thursday 5/17 and wanted to make the trip in 1 day. We brought Maddie to school in the morning so she could work some energy off and also so Joseph could pack the car. We picked her up from school and really hoped both kids would nap in the car on the way... Unfortunately Maddie did not nap but we quite content to do activities and watch shows on the iPad. James did not take his second nap until about 5pm and then napped only about 45 minutes. He was also quite good though on the trip. We made the trip in about 12 hours which included all of our stops.
We enjoyed ourselves in Tulsa and got to visit with family. Most importantly we got to see Nana Mary Ellen one last time.
We headed back home on Sunday late morning and made it back to Chicago in 11 hours. This time we made more frequent stops but they were shorter in duration.
Lots of pictures from our trip below and a little video of James playing with Grandpa.
