What's So Funny??

At almost 7 weeks baby Frank's personality is starting to blossom! He loves to laugh and smile at everyone and is just such a joy to have. He likes to play on his activity mat and talk to mommy and daddy. He is definitely looking more and more like his daddy everyday. Frank is so giggly and fun we cannot wait to watch him continue to become more unique..

Toxic Jammies

Our good friend Michael Burns must have heard about baby franks "wonderful" diapers because he gave baby frank these cute jammies with the skull and crossbones. We always knew his diapers were hazardous but now we are properly able to warn others!

Milwaukee Trip

On St. Patrick's day we headed to milwaukee to visit a lot of family. Milwaukee is not very far from chicago and baby frank again slept the whole way. On Monday we went to cousin Max's birthday party and Tuesday we went to the Art museum and dinner with our good friend Erin McGinty. It was a great trip for our family and we hope to return again sometime when it is warmer.

the man who share's mommy's birthday

Frank and baby frank are depressed over the news of Brett Farve's retirement... so I decided to snap some photos of baby frank in the Brett Farve jersey we got for him to wear this fall during the games... both baby and daddy are doing remarkably well considering the news... they will most likely honor him on his birthday... which happens to be my birthday as well... which strangely enough allows frank 4 to never forget my birthday...
