Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all of the Daddies out there! (I'm actually quite sure there aren't too many reading my blog, but that's okay). We had a great day with the Johaniks and Grandma Giere (Grandpa Giere is in Hungary right now...we missed you!). After lunch, the kids played in the pool for literally 2 1/2 hours straight and needless to say, Hannah was exhausted when it was time to go! We really wanted to keep her awake on our way home at 5:30 and it was nearly impossible. I had to resort to tickling (she didn't laugh) and slightly pinching her leg (I promise that I didn't make it hurt...just annoy her). She was not too pleased with me, but she DID stay awake! After having some dinner, she perked up a little, but was still ready for bed by 7:15. What a great day! :O)

Here are a few pictures from the past few days...

This was taken right before Ellie's afternoon nap. She was so tired and Hannah wanted to hold her, so I put laid her on the floor with her head on Hannah's lap. Hannah was SO sweet. She stroked Ellie's head and spoke sweetly to her...she is such a good little mommy!



Ellie loves to stand up by things now! She doesn't pull herself up by herself yet, but if we stand her next to something, she thinks she's pretty hot stuff!



We went to this fabulous park in downtown Naperville Saturday night and had a great time, despite the heat. :O) I think Hannah loves the independence and adventure she can have running around the playground at the park.



Daddy and Ellie sharing a precious moment at the park (without knowing the camera was on them) ;O).
