Mother's Day
Breakfast in bed with my not so little loves preceded by some TV watching on the iPad and drawing and coloring pictures. It was a chilly Mother's Day with a high of 60 and the pollen levels in overdrive. I hope summer arrives soon!

First cubs game
Fun outing which included a helmet full of nachos and a loss for the cubs. Girls lasted thru the seventh inning stretch despite the chilly weather and the wind tunnel we were sitting in.

Week 17
Receding water, warmer weather, and the whole family volunteering to help other affected by the flood. It was a busy weekend but I enjoyed seeing Taryn help others wash a neighbors belongings and seeing Tali help Ryan gut a neighbors unit. The girls also go to do some shopping for a friends' birthday party so there was some fun too!

Week 16
“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” - Fred Rogers
The week I would like to forget. Started out with the random bombing at the Boston Marathon and ended with the flooding of our house. The Des Plaines had a new record crest of 11.4 feet. Fortunately Ryan was able to keep the water intake to less than 6 inches.

Week 10
Played hooky from school for a quick trip to the Dells. Girls are natural swimmers with an endless supply of energy. They loved the water slides and the hot tub (especially the one that is both indoor and outdoor). Taryn demonstrated her princess side stating that the "bedspread smelled funny" (it did not) and electing to sleep on the flip out sofa.

Texting???
Taryn figured out on her own how to text from the itouch. She does the texting completely on her own but if I don't respond right away she calls for me and asks "are you responding to my text?" I better enjoy this now as someday she will only want to speak to me via text.

About Me
- Maya
- I am a mom, sister, daughter, aunt, wife, and a full time employee. I am writing this blog as it allows me to journal the ongoings of our life as well as share stories with those who want to know the latest. The great thing is that I can print my blog and have it for my kids to read when they are older - I am always looking for more ways to multi-task!
