Peter's First Day at Work!

So proud of you Peter on your first day of work for a job that you have always wanted. Love seeing your hard work and determination pay off after looking for this job for 3 years and interviewing for it over 5 months!

Field Museum 5th Grade Field Trip

The boys went with their 5th grade class to the Field Museum for their annual field trip.  It was so fun I got to be with Tate and a few of his good friends.  They were like tornados through the museum that we even left a bit early to let them all run around outside.  Once outside we ran into Fisher and his group.  

Snuck in a 3d Movie.  The Galapagos Islands.  

No wonder Tate thinks Trevor is "Boss".

Tate is pretending his hand is being run over.  

Steamy Soccer

So very much soccer this weekend and this was a hot steamy game following the rain.  4 total games this weekend and know one day we will miss this very much!

Sunshine Soccer

Sunshine and U13 Satinoff soccer watching Fisher play made for a perfect Saturday afternoon.

Kiwi

Tate and one of his BFFs, Logan.  Tate was so excited that Logan got a bird, Kiwi, and could not wait to play with Kiwi.  Crazy how Kiwi was so interactive.  I had no idea!

Our baby robins

We were so blessed to have had a Robin build her nest so we could watch over her babies.  The nest was on the 2nd floor window of our garage by the stairs and we could not get enough of these baby birds.  We celebrated when they hatched and were so sad when they died.  Last night was a brutally cold night and we think it just got too cold for them. 

The kids really wanted to bury the birds and say goodbye.  

Tate was so sensitive and said can you imagine a mother losing all her babies on Mother's Day?  He said he was thankful she did not know there was such a holiday.  

Our last picture with them all alive. 

Saying goodbye. 

Tate really wanted to look at the birds and study them.  He is the one who has several animals in his dissection kit.  All we did was look at the birds and try to understand why some were more developed than others.  Could it be that a mother Robin lays only one egg a day and yet they all hatch about the same time?

Here they are, all different sizes. 

Isn't this next just incredible?

The burial.
