a treat for trips

a quick note about my new favorite snack for our adventures.  I buy them ahead of time, and at $3 it is usually cheaper than buying treats at our destinations.

the Disney Foodles Crunch Paks (Foodles) come in mickey mouse shaped trays.  we can usually find one with grapes, apples and cheese, or apples, cheese and pretzels at our local store.

I've taken foodles to museums all over chicago.  I also find they are great for airplane rides.  The mouse tray is a fun treat for jude and the cheese is pre-cut into bite sized pieces.   now if only they'd make one with chocolate and wine for me.

harry napping at MSI in the stroller

The other big news about oak park baby adventures is that harry will nap in the stroller.  we never had much luck with jude.  but i admit we tried to be home for most of his naps anyway.  

a few times a month jude and i enjoy an adventure or park while harry snoozes in the bugaboo.

sleepy baby!

I still use my nursing cover as a 'shade'.  I figure harry is very used to spending time looking at the reverse side of that pattern.

happy adventuring!

Happy to be on Father's Day

Father's Day or Greg thanks for watching the kids day at the millers.  Kara helped with the worship music team at church today. that meant a solo morning for greg from 8-1.  its nice to be married to someone who is capable and even thrives while handling the kiddos by himself.

Here's a recent shot of the boys and greg during our florida vacation. yes that is an alligator skull.  

greg and the boys, May 2011

we are having a monumental afternoon.  greg decided for father's day to let jude see star wars for the first time. we are sitting watching while harry naps.  jude is asking a million questions while completely enthralled by the whole thing.   and he keeps forgetting darth vader's name.
