Last week on Brandywine Drive!

We are wrapping up our time on Brandywine Drive!  Soon, we'll be moving to our new house in Schaumburg.  But, for now, we have enjoyed some fun summer days here.  We arranged a Weingart-Rodriguez swap where Hugo ended up with us and Noah was shipped off for an afternoon with Ari.  It was a fun day on both sides!

 Noah and Sam have experienced the highs and lows of more time together.  Recently, it was "take a friend to karate" week and Noah opted to take his brother.
 Sam was glued to him for the entire day, very thankful for the chance to be with his big bro!
 We took a zoo trip with Bamma and got to see the snow leopard close up!
 The gorillas didn't disappoint either.
 We did a group trip out to Tom's Farm out in Huntley to do some strawberry picking!

 Perfect berry picking conditions, it was our first time and so fun!



 A good yield!


 We enjoyed some strawberry treats and Isaac and Hattie posed for some hilarious pictures!

 We did some family tie dye action and the shirts turned out pretty awesome this time around!
 Sam went off to a solo sleepover at Bamma and Bampa's and Noah and I dashed to get in our run before the storms rolled in, Isaac was a "super" cheerleader (I say this with sarcasm, he lounged the whole way in his stroller).
 Sam enjoyed some alone time with his grandparents.  He got a new beanbag chair for the new house.
 He got to take a huge bubble bath all by himself!
 And he went out for a special sushi dinner with Bamma and Bampa!
 Meanwhile, back at our house, we watched them repave the street.
Once Sam returned, we did some coke/mentos explosions.

We upped the ante this year and did it directly in our mouths!

 Everyone enjoyed Sam's new rocker chair and beanbag chair!
 He also got a new dustbuster to help with his chores!
 We spent another fun morning strolling around Schaumburg and getting some donuts!
 Sam has fearless pattern mixing!
 Mostly, we are just enjoying some calm days spending time together!

 New lunch spot of Doctor Dogs is met with thumbs up approval!
So, now we prep to head up to the lake and the 4th of July with family!
