SkittleBrau: October 2014
http://abrod1979.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 30, 2014. Before the madness of Halloween begins, wanted to add these pictures from Noah's soccer season. Go Strikers! Monday, October 27, 2014. Boy, I realized I have quite a few pictures to catch up on here. Over Columbus Day weekend, I took a solo trip up to Minneapolis for a 2 day conference. I managed to take in a few sights. And enjoy a few solo meals (which is a RARITY for me! This was a cheddar stuffed burger and it was delicious! To celebrate Hattie's 2nd birthday, Sam, Isaac a...

SkittleBrau: September 2014
http://abrod1979.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 26, 2014. Busy times, as usual! It's been so busy around here that I haven't had a moment to post! The only reason I can right now is because I'm sitting in Starbucks waiting for a clothing while my saintly parents watch the boys! Sam has been really enjoying soccer lately and seems to be learning a lot. I'm thinking the park district might need some smaller practice pinnies! Bamma's projects are probably the highlight of Sam's week. He's been digging penguins lately, can you tell?

SkittleBrau: Summer 2015 is in the books!
http://abrod1979.blogspot.com/2015/08/summer-2015-is-in-books.html
Monday, August 17, 2015. Summer 2015 is in the books! Here we are, August and yet again it's time to get back to school. I'd say we've logged another highly successful summer, crossing off some big things on the kid (and mom) bucket list. This last week, we were able to squeeze in a last few! We went to the outlet mall in Aurora with my mom. Nothing too exciting about buying new pants, but cookies with copious amounts of frosting are highly exciting! Sleepovers must mean donuts, right? Cotton candy and s...

SkittleBrau: And, so we're on to August...
http://abrod1979.blogspot.com/2015/08/and-so-were-on-to-august.html
Sunday, August 2, 2015. And, so we're on to August. The quest to fill our summer with fun continues with great success! Mike worked from home on Monday, so I tried out some headphones with tunes to help Isaac keep quiet during a phone call. It worked pretty well and he looked super cute while rocking out too! On Wednesday, we drove up to Glenview to meet Mike for lunch. We found a nice park with swings and a fun playground nearby. Sam opted for gummy turtles. Noah selected giant peppermint patties. This ...

Friday, May 30, 2014. Memorial weekend full of memory making! We had the best Memorial Day weekend EVER! It was filled with lots of family time and fun activities. It helped that the weather was gorgeous too! Isaac is getting sturdier every day. He's easily standing on his own, now if he could just get a couple steps on his own he'd be off and running! Sam and Isaac have a very, hum how do I say this. love/dislike? I'm just going to smash your head a bit! We had an outdoor lunch, it was beautiful! He has...

Sunday, July 27, 2014. A whole lotta Sam Dan! So, this week was a lot of Sam action! As we celebrated his 4th birthday we had a very fun week! We decorated the house with minions. And he obliged with his best minion impression! On Tuesday (his actual birthday), we had the Worst crew over for a puppy birthday lunch. Sam loves puppies, loves snuggling with puppies, loves pretending to be a puppy. So for his special day we had the boys eat on the floor puppy style! It was pretty darn cute. They have a new d...

Monday, July 27, 2015. We continue to live the freedom of summer to it's fullest around here, enjoying ordinary but extraordinary things (at least we think! Noah has had some time to do art projects, which he loves. Recently he made "character tablets" which are character faces shaped into tablet size made from construction paper. I think they turned out awesome! Our local park district hosts some outdoor concerts nearby, on Thursday Noah and I had a date night. Sam also was the lucky recipient of a razo...

SkittleBrau: November 2014
http://abrod1979.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 23, 2014. Thankful for this family! Well, I've been a little quite this month. No specific reason, just life! After the madness of the beginning of school, soccer season, and Halloween, it's been nice to settle into a calmer month. We've had some great family time, one Sunday with a little face paint on each other! Our smallest seems to be asserting himself more and more these days. He is definitely the most purposely naughty one of the bunch! And he's been in a fierce 'mama, mama, mama!

SkittleBrau: April 2015
http://abrod1979.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 12, 2015. We are so relieved to be having more outdoor time recently! We took advantage of a particularly windy day last week to fly some kites! Annual dyeing of the Easter eggs was a success! Measuring this guy up is as intimidating as you might think. He's just hitting 40 inches tall which makes him eligible to ride on some of the big rides at Disney! Easter Sunday came and we got cleaned up to head to Bamma and Bampa's house. Good looking crew here! And now the outdoor portion! We've bee...

SkittleBrau: August 2014

Sunday, August 24, 2014. Box em up, ship em out! We happened to be over at Josh and Kjersten's place as they put together a new table. Ergo, a large box happened to be free for 3 boy fun! This guy has been climbing all over the place, and showing off his communication skills and general funny attitude. How big is Isaac? We had some groupons that needed to get used up prior to the official end of summer. One was for 2 Toots, the local train restaurant. The neighbors couldn't resist joining in on the fun!
