On their way back!

*waiting for flight home, midway airport, chicago


The kids finished up the weekend visiting the Adler Planetarium, Museum of Science & Industry, Chicago History Museum, Tommy Guns Garage Dinner Theater, The Field Museum, and the Brookfield Zoo. On their way back right now...

Today's To-Do List. (updated with more pix)

Wake up call at 7:30am. Board bus and head for the Sears Tower Skydeck. Visit the Art Institute of Chicago. Lunch and tour at Eli's Cheesecake Company. Take a bus tour of the city. Enjoy some free time at the Navy Pier, including a tour of the Smith Museum of Stained Glass Windows. Watch the Chicago Bulls vs. Milwaukee Bucks at the United Center. Watch as Chicago turns out it's lights. Call your mom, tell her you are NOT taking any pictures. Listen while mom weeps, then roll your eyes.


*Thanks Wolf & Kerri, for the iphone shots! Thanks Steve Jobs, for the iphone!

Bet your bottom dollar...

... you lose the blues in Chicago!































And they are off. We got the kids to the airport at 5:45am this morning and they boarded their flight to the Windy City with much excitement! I was able to capture a few shots at the airport, and I am hoping for some emailed iphone photos over the weekend to share. They have an extremely fun-filled, non-stop tour of Chicago planned!

Leah & Jack, we miss you but we know you are having a great time exploring a new city! We are beyond proud of you for being so brave and adventurous!

Celebrating Spring, Preschool-style!

Today Will's preschool held their annual "Spring Fling"... complete with bubbles, flower hats, painting, little piggies, goats, bunnies, ducks, and pony rides!

Cool School of the Week!

MyFox Orlando | Cool School of the Week

Each week one of our local news stations broadcasts their morning show live from a different "Cool School of the Week"... and this week Page was chosen! Actually, they filmed down at our Orlando branch, but they invited our middle schoolers to participate. Definitely watch the video and look through the pictures and see if you recognize anyone!

**Nice pass, Jack. That guy couldn't catch a cold if he were naked in a snowstorm!

I guess the diet starts tomorrow.

May your thoughts be as glad as the shamrocks.
May your heart be as light as a song.
May each day bring you bright happy hours,
That stay with you all year long.
For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, People!

Dancing with the Stars.

Despite the rainy weather, the Pirate & Princess Party at Disney was a hit! Gheghe, Leah, her friend Christy, and I rode many rides, watched a great parade and fireworks, and the girls even danced the night away with Flounder!

Four!
