The Riley Family

It feels like spring today and the kittens are crazy!

Who knew two kittens fit in one cushy booster!

So after about 5 years of going up to the playground store in Naperville and trying out all the new swing sets, the kids finally convinced me that we should get a new one.    When we walked in the sales guy even recognized me!  Both Kate and Jack wrote lists of all their requirements (K is learning cursive, J is learning denelian) including: monkey bars, rock wall, trapeze, store front/playhouse....  We are very excited. On March 17 our new one will be installed... stay tuned for pictures!

Paul got a new Volt today. It is super cool!

Tom was enjoying the foam from my soy latte :)

Here is Tom Thursday afternoon after soccer.

We got out a pair of puddle stompers for T today. He loves them!

Jack has just discovered radio. He has a new hand-crank super cool radio/weather station / red cross issued emergency device and he is enthralled! He takes it with him everywhere.

We got K's dress in the mail yesterday!

Here are some pictures from last month's snow.   We haven't had much snow at all this winter, it has been quite strange. Also a few W birthday pics and making volvanoes.

We got Kate's Wavus gear in the mail yesterday. She is looking forward to camp.

Tom started soccer this week and had a great time! And he looks super cute in the uniform.

Well, since Tom has learned how to not only open, but then close the baby gates behind him, we decided to take them down.  We will keep one up in the basement to keep him down there when we are down.  But the first two floors are now free range Tom space. 

Save the Date - - Kate's First Communion will be on April 28, 2012 at 1:00.
