Maeve’s Blog

This last bit of summer has been such a whirlwind… I thought we were busy a few months ago, but trying to cram in all the pool/beach/outside time we can while the weather has been glorious has been exhausting fun too!
Last week we headed down to Millennium Park on Monday to see Ms. Julie sing [...]

Well, Fall is on our minds now. Not only did the weather cool off (from 90 to 80, but still…), but we got Maeve’s schedule completely lined up for her Fall semester of school and classes. We also managed to have a bunch of fun this week too!
Monday – Sign up for art class and [...]

So I think it’s technically Week 4 of summer camp in Chicago, but with all our to-ing and fro-ing I’ve lost track.

We spent this past week at Grandma’s in Michigan. We enjoyed some beautiful weather, trips to the beach and Ms. Lisa’s for ice cream, and Maeve even got to show off her putt putt skills again on a mini golf course! We had a fun playdate with Maeve’s friend Zachary, and Grandma and Maeve had [...]
