Eye Check-Up

Charlie had a follow-up eye exam today, he is farsighted but they are not ready to correct it. Fingers crossed it improves with time! While we were waiting for Charlie's appointment, he did what any normal kid would do...model glasses and work on math problems.

She's on top of the world...

Maybe not on top of the world, but she's on top of a very big rock! We visited Arlington Lake today and did some exploring. When we got to this rock I lifted Evy up and she said, "take my picture", which never happens so I immediately obliged! 

Underwear!

Yep, that's right Evy is wearing underwear! I told her I would give her "all the treats" if she went potty and she said yes. So far, so good!

Library Time

The first thing I learned about the suburbs this week is that their library is way better than our library in Chicago. There were so many books and toys for the kids to check out. Charlie even built a castle!

First Day of First Grade!

We officially have a first grader! Charlie started school today. He has been looking forward to the first day of school and although it was a quick summer it is nice to get back to a schedule. He was extremely excited to meet his new teacher, Miss Chalberg and she seems wonderful. Charlie is going to have a great year at his new school!
