Catching up...

Branko was lucky enough to go to Jerry Smith's 2 days in a row! My mom and Jodi brought him on a Friday while I was at work and then we had plans to go with a few of my friends and Max the next day. Beautiful sunny day, with lots of bees!
The last few times Branko was on a hay ride he screamed the whole time, he actually enjoyed it this time, thank god. 

Prefers to push the car rather than ride the car. 

Just lounging in the stroller...
New water tumbler! He's done a great job adjusting from bottles to cups with or without straws. I think I need to get one for myself.
Pictures from Branko at Jerry Smith's with my mom, Jodi, and Nora.

Nora forgot a coat for Branko's birthday party and it got a bit chilly as the sun set. I told her she could have this Tremper Football sweatshirt from when I was in high school, I love that she still wears it! It is comfy if I do say so myself.
Mr Maxwell!




Branko sure does adore Kelli and Baby boy Binninger!
What's going to Jerry Smiths without eating some sugar cookies?
Linda, in the white dress, celebrated her 60th birthday in October! She was one of my main preceptors and mentors as I started being a nurse on labor and delivery. She throws the best parties. One of her sons is a chef and she'll host a multiple course meal and it's the best! This particular party she hired cocktail waitresses, needless to say, I had the worst hangover of my life the next day. Dr. Bomtempo is one of the OB's I work with who is pictured in the middle. She's one of the funniest people I know. 
Dr. Cruz who is one of our perinatologists. She happens to be related to my friend Jackie. Had to snap a pic to show Jackie we were thinking of her during her last weeks of pregnancy!
Branko loves to snuggle up against the corner of his crib, that's when I know he is officially in a deep sleep.
"Baby Signing Time" one of his favorites. 
Playing with my Barney stuffed animal from when I was little. This has since been moved to the basement since it kept going off by itself all the time. 
Beautiful day at the zoo, the trees were SO pretty.





Actual Halloween weekend, passing out candy. Our neighborhood does it's own trick or treat the Saturday before the city's. We went through A LOT of candy. The next day we went and bought more, and barely had anyone knocking at our door. Needless to say, my co-workers had lots of candy to eat. 


Actual Halloween, we stopped at my parents for lunch. 
"Is that you Ava?"
"Wait, that's you Nora?!"




Stay tuned for updated pictures of our kitchen floor. 
Such a big decision... We bought probably close to 10 boxes of flooring to decide. Different planks look different, so I highly recommend just buying whole box!
A little Lake Geneva fun..



Rocking his new clothes from Ang!

Someone is getting close to walking on his own!

Group shot of lots of great nurses and OBGYNS!

A little bit of life in Feb/March

  Someone got into the red paint post bath.. Fun trip to the library This wall had them entertained for a while Conrads a bit more of a nurturer than his brother Get in m belly! Farm fresh eggs from Taylor! Branko has been a huge super hero lover these days. He has 6 stretchy small super heros that I actually got for Conrad for valentines day. The material its made out of gets full of lint and hair, so Branko gives them "baths". Playing with the outdoor lights. There was a crazy storm one night and Branko set up Hulk/Ironman in the window to watch the storm with him. I thought I had a picture of it, I guess not! Pics from school :) Our photo frame is always a big hit with the boys Panera (or First Watch) with Grandma Conrad is so proud of himself getting the coins in the piggy bank A normal night in super hero capes and Conrad climbing on the end table/couch My oldest is getting too big to carry :( Enjoying a rare solo bath Culvers, yummmm Enjoying the spring air! Conrad is n...

 On Wednesdays, Branko has daycare, leaving me with the two younger boys. To be honest, having all three of them is easier than juggling the younger two by myself. Conrad is at a tough age right now where he wants all of my attention and gets aggressive/jealous when I need to feed or hold Michael. On this particular day, we needed to get out of the house, so Conrad led us through Target. He ran away twice, which was fun chasing him with the doona stroller. Thankfully, it wasn't busy! I hate the running away phase! We also went to my favorite coffee shop. Meanwhile, Branko learned about trains at school and was excited to go to his mama's house as his destination. Michael has started to be more alert these days. I just LOVE his eyes Superhero brothers! Our neighbors who live behind us babysit for us sometimes and this particular day Carsen was on spring break and lent a hand on a Friday where it was me and all three while Patrick was working. She played with the older boys and h...

Disney World and baby #3!!

Image
Both boys fell asleep as soon as we landed.... in Orlando. We waited for everyone to get off the plane before waking up these sleeping beauties. We started the trip out rough, I was super sick with no energy the day before we left and Patrick had the same symptoms the day we left. I think we may have had Covid after hearing what other people's symptoms were after we got back. I didn't want to bring their car seats, so we booked a bus to take us from the airport to our hotel. NEVER AGAIN! (at least while the boys are this young). We waited in the airport for the bus for an hour and a half. Recipe for disaster after waking up early, driving to Midway airport, being on a plane, waiting in line for the bus, and then sit on the bus to get to the resort. It was a lot and not a great way to start the trip. We'll get a car rental next time. Yes, we thought about an uber, but they only have options for 1 carseat. We stayed at the Contemporary Resort to be on the monorail and close t...
