Happy Mommy's Day!!!

Hello all. We celebrated Mothers day at the

Brookfield Zoo outside Chicago. We had a great time.

Hanging out in the pouch

Caitlyn's not so sure about this

I didn't know monkeys wore sunglasses.

Mommy and her girls

Swingin in Downers Grove (not Chicago)

Just a quick note this is Tom's busy season at work so postings are going to be few and far between unless Aimee can figure it out which is highly doubtful. Anyway for those of you who don't know we don't live in Chicago, we live in Downers Grove. This is Nick's answer anytime you ask him about Chicago.

Anyway the kids got a new swing so enjoy! Believe it or not the girls are 19 months old!!!

18 Months-Illinois

Sorry for the delay, we've been very busy. Some of you may not know, I took a new job with another company. I am now the GM for ARAMARK at First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, IL and Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, WI. Yes I was at Alpine the last few years however the new company took it over. This job change required us to move the family to Downers Grove, IL. We are in a house in a great neighborhood. Aimee is filling in for someone on maternity leave until the summer. She will take the summer off with the kids and get a job in the fall. Nick has adjusted very well to his new school. He is meeting new friends all the time. Caitlyn and Melinda are both growing like weeds. Both run all throughout the house as they have more room than they did in Milwaukee. Anyway enjoy some of the pics.

Nick and his buddy Matthew in Milwaukee.

This is what happens when he dresses himself.

The kids enjoying some cinammon rolls.

Melinda loved the swing....

Caitlyn loved the slide!

Still the best big brother in the world!!!

Fun at the park

Riding to the park in the wagon.

They like the trikes...they love the graham crackers.

16 Months

Nick's school had crazy day so we had crazy colored hair.

16 months old!

Caitlyn is finally walking! She takes a few steps and then crawls.

Also teeth count is Caitlyn 9, Melinda 12.

We absolutely love bathtime...

...unless Grandma does it.

Happy Birthday Nick!

Mike and Mary threw a surprise party for Nick while

we were in STL. Thanks guys.

Hey Mary your going to be bigger than that balloon!!

Just wait and see.

Caleb can't wait to pop out and hear you play that guitar...

On second thought....

When we got back to Milwaukee, Nick got his gifts from the girls and

then we went to the Rainforest Cafe.

The girls loved the trick candles!

The Toybox

Caitlyn and Melinda love playing in there toybox.

Caitlyn sometimes needs help getting out and sometimes

she doesn't go in so gracefully!

All that work for a piece of tinsel.

Christmas 2008

Merry Christmas everyone. We went to St. Louis for a week.

We had a great visit with all of our family and friends. Santa

heard we were going to STL so he came to Milwaukee early!

We've been fighting earaches but you can't tell in these pics

Nick didn't even hear Santa this year! He was worried

because he ALWAYS hears Santa.

Fun with some new toys

The kids with Grandma and Grandpa Fleig.

Beware of the fruit at Grandmas!
Every orange had bite marks and some had drool.
(That was before we got there)
They didn't quite get what to do but they loved what was inside!


Us and our Wii...Thanks Santa!
The whole family at the Geringer's
