A lot has been going on since I last updated our blog 6 weeks ago. First of all, summer is about to begin. Addison just finished up her first year of preschool and I think it went well. She will return next year (she misses the Just 31st Kindergarten cutoff date by a little over a month) but next year will be really special because Lucas will be joining her!!!
There was a downside in the past few weeks....Lucas suffered from a pretty major asthma attack. He had never wheezed before so it really came out of nowhere. We will be going to a specialist soon and can hopefully get some answers. To sum it up, he had to be transported via helicopter to a hospital with a pediatric unit, between the 2 ER's he stayed a good 10 hours in the ER before he finally started to turn around and then did great the rest of our 2 day stay in the hospital. We hope to never ever return and hopefully after seeing a specialist and getting some allergy testing...we can do our best to make sure it doesn't get that bad again.
Lets see....there was Easter and it was a great day. Here is a picture of the kids being very proud of their easter eggs that they colored.
Enjoying the easter egg hunt at Nana and Papa's house. 
A family picture...it was a windy day for sure!
Another big thing happened....Lucas turned 3! We celebrated a few days before his birthday and had his party at the Whittle train station. Lucas' allergies have been very bad this season so he was not doing great that day but I think he managed to have a good time.
The proud big sister!
Our big 3 year old!!!
About a month ago I completed my 2nd 1/2 marathon. I ran my first one in November and finished in 2 hours and 2 minutes (9:20 mile pace). My goal in this race was to finish in less than 2 hours.....I finished in 1 hour and 57 minutes (8:58 pace) so I was very pleased.
Me and my friend Lara.
Bob has been so supportive and I can't wait to cheer him in all his triathalons this summer!
Two of my fans!!!
Here is a picture of me and Lucas on his actual birthday.
Another great event was going to Galena, IL for Pam's bachelorette party. Boy did we have a good time between a great wine tour, fun bachelorette stuff and just having a great time with friends and celebrating with Pam (another post to come from Pam's wedding this past weekend).
Mother's day was a very special day this year. Bob made me a great breakfast, I went to the movies with my Mom and then out to dinner with Bob and the kids. One of the best parts of the day was Bob and I taking the kids for our first real hike in the woods. They loved it and so did we. I can't wait to go again!
I love being a mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
