1st Half of March

So far, the first half of this month has been very busy for us. Linnet is working 20+ hours per week, and with the weather getting warmer, kids want to go out more often. They of course need an adult supervision!
Matthew had a Dady day at his pre-school, where I saw his developments. I got a tour first from his teacher and then from Matthew. He showed me almost everything in his classroom, and ate my two donuts. We also took a picture with his teacher. Maya began to crawl backwards, and is getting better at keeping her balance and does not fall forward, when tries to crawl. Thy boys have so much fun playing with her and making her laugh.
We also visited the Brookfield zoo, I think this was Maya's second visit. I think Nathan enjoyed the visit more than anyone else. He gave up his sandwich to Matthew, so he can play a bit more. All of them loved to visit with the animals. Bahareh was kind enough to go with us, and gave me a hand holding Maya and running after Nathan when he chased the geese. We were all tired after we got back, and kids fell asleep in the car. I'm sure the second half of the month will be more fun, specially we have the NouRooz to be prepared for.

February Snapshot

A lot happened in the month of February. We had a surprise visit from my aunt Jhaleh and cousin Arsalan from the land down under. We had a weekend together that sure was fun for us, and hopefully they enjoyed it too. We visited the Navy Pier and the Sears tower ( I still like to call it Sears! ), and my first time visiting Skydeck Ledge. We visited the CC's pizza, and Matthew enjoyed few games at their arcade. We also visited downtown Downers Grove and the ice sculpture festival, as well as watching the Avatar in 3D. I thought it was way over rated!
Nathan and Matthew received their treadmill and amazingly still excersice on it. Maya won every one's heart by her big smiles, and her favorite new game was to get piggy back rides from her brothers.
