Literacy Tales

It's no surprise that we love our books in this house. Leo - wow, what a long way he's come. And here, he showcases his talents while reading his favorite book. Me? Well - I got a Kindle! And then, I bought 5 books on it without asking my mom first. That takes talent.

Park Time!

One of the greatest days of the year is when it's finally park time! Well, let's just hope we don't get more snow. You never know after this winter. 

The Whole Gang!

Wow, what a treat we had this weekend. Grandma and Grandpa T came to Dubuque and we had ALL of our grandparents together in ONE house! How fantastic is that? 

Personality

My brother always makes us shake our heads. He's yelling at the sky. What do you say to that?

Leo's Take on Climate Change

Kindergarten Preview

Today was a big day! I got to see my new school. Mom and Dad can't believe that I am going to Kindergarten. What they could believe is just whom I decided to chat up - the Princapal. Ha.

Gibbons Visit

 So Auntie Dina and the girls came to visit and she brought Leo a whole mess of Girl Scout Cookies. He looks pretty happy. We had a great week!

I Got a Job!

Watch out, Dad. I got my first voice over gig! The funniest moment for Dad was when, on the way home, I say, "Does this mean I'm an actor now?!" Dad said, "I guess so." I said, "Ah! That was not my plan!" 

I have plans. 

Happy 3rd Birthday, Leo!

Well, this is just crazy. Three. My brother is three. We had a nice little family party with Leo's favorite undersea creatures. Dad and I made him a little video with our voice talents. Earlier in the day, Leo showed us his mad skills at gymnastics. Then - oh man! We went to a waterpark! What a birthday celebration. The little dude knows how to party. 

Sweet little Dude!

We got to go to Dubuque and see our little peanut of a cousin! Anderson smiles a lot. He loves me. 

Enough Already

Why are we inside? Well...looks what's outside. Still. In Chicago, well, it was our coldest winter in 30 years. So, like, when Mom and Dad were our age! And the snow totals? Wowza. Leo things he's a snow King or something.

Disney on Ice

I got to go on a date with my Grandma and Grandpa T - to Disney on Ice! 

This is How We Roll....or Glide

It's no surprise we've got a family thing. Ice skating. I'm the best one, of course - but Mom, Dad, and Leo are catching up to me in the skill department. Also - Batavia opened the Riverwalk to ice skating and we can go there whenever we want! It's so close to our house!

Little Bit of Leo

Some things regarding Leo have been pretty enjoyable lately. He's a music fiend. Mom and Dad like that. And I guess Mom likes her day off cuddle nap time with Leo. You know, since I don't nap anymore. 

A little Led Zeppelin

You say you want a revolution?

Christmas 2013

It was the usual Christmas craziness up in here! 

Olaf

So, I've been a little obsessed with the movie, Frozen, lately. So, I built Olaf. With Dad's help, of course.

Skaters

What a great Chicago winter day! We tore it up at

the Millennium Park ice skating rink. And Leo took

a dry run with my old skates before we left. I think we are

going to both play for the Blackhawks. Or be figure skating 

partners. Or something.
