Farewell to our friends from "The Center"

We celebrated Spencer's 4th birthday with our good friends from the University of Minnesota at the Como Zoo in St. Paul

(Lucas' best friend, Luca)

 Enjoyed time with our amazing friends from "The Center" at a farewell party in honor Henry and Lucas at Minnehaha Park in Minneapolis (hosted by Center friend Ryan's mom and dad).

And we "skipped school" with Center friend Tyler to spend a Friday with firefighters in Roseville.

Beginning our farewell to the Twin Cities

In August, mom said farewell to her wonderful work colleagues at the University of Minnesota in preparation for our move to Michigan. Dad moved to Michigan several weeks before we did to start his new job.  

Chicago - Michigan trip

Ahh, the Lincoln Park Whole Foods is truly amazing. 

Riding the 'L' to Millennium Park 

The Bean

We traveled to Chicago to attend mom's cousin Ashley's wedding at the Palomar Hotel. The evening was amazing, fun, beautiful and filled with family. The hotel even provided the boys with a pet fish for our stay. The boys semi-attended the actual wedding ceremony, and then Oma and Opa babysat Oliver, Elliot, Henry and Lucas so that their parents could attend the wedding reception. This was unfortunately the only photo I managed to take. 

Joy at Grandma and Grandpa's house

Cousin time at Oliver and Elliot's new house in Huntington Woods. Aunt Jessica and Uncle Tony babysat for the day while mom and dad looked for a new place for us to live in Ann Arbor. Matt (dad) has accepted a new job; and we are moving home to Michigan in August!!!!
