Social Butterflies

It was the second big day in a row for my two little friends, Jimmy and Maggie. On Sunday, they celebrated their birthday with a big party at their house. And on Monday, I spent the morning with them, seeing all of their fun new toys, playing around in the snow, and exploring the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum in Lincoln Park. The twins were fascinated by the hundreds of butterflies in the butterfly garden, and then had a blast racing around the different interactive children's exhibits in the museum. We wrapped up the day with some chips, juice and good old fashioned goofy family time in the museum cafeteria. I had so much fun, Cathy and John...thanks for a great President's Day outing!

Linden

What a great laugh this little one has! Linden was full of giggles and smiles on Saturday morning. She really brightened an otherwise cold winter day for me and Mike, and we were thrilled to capture some of her joy and sweetness. We had a great time getting to know you and your beautiful family, Lynsey and Peter. Thanks for a great time!

Happy Birthday, William!

William was seriously one of the happiest and most excited one-year-olds Mike and I have ever seen! He was all smiles during his big b-day bash last Saturday. His party was at Family Grounds Cafe on N. Lincoln Ave. VERY cool place! It's the perfect combination of adorable coffee shop for parents and an incredibly fun play room for their little ones. The party was a huge hit, full of friends and family, laughter, catchng up, toddling around, exploring...and of course, cake. William really enjoyed his first cake in the most adorable way possible! Thanks for a fantastic time, Nicole and Mark! It was great seeing you again and we loved being part of your special day.
