Anna's First Haircut

I finally did it. I waited as long as I possibly could, but Anna just couldn't see anymore. So, we went to go get Anna's first haircut. It was priceless! After a few minutes of FREAKING out, she actually enjoyed the pampering.

I'm glad I did it...she looks so damn adorable - I just want to eat her up! I've posted some pictures and a quick video.

A Trip to The Barn

As I have probably mentioned in prior posts, we've had the most beautiful Spring weather this year (the best and warmest weather I can remember). It's like we skipped March and April and just went right to May.

Because the weather has been so nice, Anna and I have been so active outside...so much fun! Our latest "field trip" was to one of our favorite spots, The Barn at the Lincoln Park Zoo. It's tailored towards the little kids and it includes all the animals you'd find at a farm (and lucky for Anna, all the animal sounds she knows). The attached pictures show our non-stop ball of energy as she does her hot laps around The Barn.

Maggie and AJ's New Puppy, Loddie!

We LOVE Loddie! Maggie and AJ just got their first dog and she's a beauty. It's a mut from a local shelter and she's the sweetest pup in the world. Anna met her for the first time a few weeks ago and I've included some pictures. Some day both Loddie and Anna will be much, much bigger and we'll love to look at old photos of when they both were babes.

Happy Easter 2010!

Another Easter down for Anna. It was really nice...we spent the day with the Whelan family. Anna also received her Easter basket from Grandma Mary and went on a very "high-tech" Easter egg hunt (talking eggs and all).

Amazingly, the weather has been heavenly in Chicago, so we were able to spend Easter outside enjoying the sun and warm temps. I also forgot to mention that Anna made it through the entire Easter mass without crying. She loves the music so much.

I've posted some pictures of our holiday.
