A busy month

July has been a busy busy month. Since our last post we had a whopper of a storm that left almost everyone in the area without power. Thankfully we were one of the lucky ones that kept their power (and their AC). It was so sad to see trees down everywhere. Come to think of it, its been 10 days since the storm and there are still trees everywhere. On the 7th Matt and I attended our first Geocaching Event and had a good time :) We FINALLY got our carpets cleaned (believe me... they needed it). I was able to attend one of my best friend's baby shower.

 And believe it or not, that takes us to the 9th! My grandparents came for a visit and we got to spend time with them. This past Thursday I got to spend the day with my sister at Six Flags. We had a great time and the park was even able to restore power to almost all of the rides (still leftover problems from the storm).

Yesterday Matt and I went to go see Beauty and the Beast downtown. If we had endless moneys we would probably go and see every Broadway show in Chicago. I think I have been successful in turning my hubby into a complete Musical Theater lover!!! Other than that life has been filled with normal stuff... you know Matt working, Joseph running around with endless energy, and me trying to find some order to our chaotic lives. Here are some more pictures of my adorable son!

Toddler Park

These past 6 weeks Matt and I have been geocaching. It has been a lot of fun and we have found all of these hole-in-the-wall parks. Today, we found a toddler park! It was the cutest thing. There was a big kid park and then next to it was this gated toddler park. The ground was this blue spongy turf (similar to the all weather tracks you find in high school stadiums) and everything was smaller, perfect for toddlers. This is the first park where Joseph could do everything himself. Here are lots of pictures!!!
