Maxwell On The Move

Another...well, only the second in a "series", if you can call it that, of our children on the move. This time, with a bonus at the end that is worth the wait. OK, it's a little on the long side at 3 and a half minutes, but I had a hard time editing it down to that.

Enjoy!


Easter 2011

Tons of fun was had on Easter. We spent the early morning at church and then headed to De Pere to visit the family and have an Easter Egg Hunt. Becky and the boys dyed eggs a few days earlier.

That's a lot of stuff!

Max's New Ears

This past Tuesday Max had surgery to put vents in both of his ears. When we arrived at the hospital, he was a very happy little guy despite not getting to eat most of the night and that morning. He charmed all the nurses beforehand. The procedure only took 15 minutes and he was less happy after. This was probably the aftereffect of the anesthesia and due to him being a very tired boy from such an early, exciting morning. He also seemed to be uncomfortable for the next day or two but his ears seem better now. He is sleeping more soundly and hearing us more clearly.

Hopefully the vents will be the answer to his problems. Only Max can make that hospital gown so adorable.

Chicago Weekend

The last weekend of January, we packed up the family and headed to Chicago for some
fun
in 
the 
sun!

Wait...it was 30 degrees and windy. Yea, the windy city. We arrived on Saturday morning and went straight to the Shedd Aquarium. We spent the day there and caught a dolphin show and a Diego/Dora show. Sam got a pretty cool shark toy that ended up in the pool when we got to the hotel, which Sam wore himself out swimming around, jumping in and socializing with other kids his age.

Sunday, we spent the morning at the Chicago Children's Museum (thank you Jill, great idea!). As you can see from the abundance of pictures below, there was no shortage of activities to keep Sam busy and having fun. Max even got to join in on the action in a few places set aside especially for the tiny tots. For $10 a person (teachers get in free!), this was the best value and the most fun to be had during the weekend.
