Earth Day!

Happy Earth Day Chicago!!

I should have posted this earlier but just in case you are in the mood and enjoying the weather, here are some activities you can still go out and do today or this weekend. This whole month in fact, there are activities you can do to show your enthusiasm for the environment. You can pick up a monthly calendar of events at whole foods to find more events near you.

Jewel and Adam

Yesterday I spent the afternoon with Jewel and Adam. It turned out to be a great day despite the gloomy weather. We had a lot of fun exploring Architectural Artifacts. There were so many great things to play on, sneak in, and explore! We even spent some time in the rain. April is indeed famous for its rainy days! Thanks to Jewel and Adam for being such fun and interested in trying some new things. And big thanks to Adam for carrying my bag around :)

Peter turns 2!

Well Sunday didn't turn out to be the nicest day outside but I was still able to spend some time with my nephew Peter and have some fun with bubbles and kites! We went over to Peck Farm to play in the fields.

Aaron got this shot which I really loved!

I Want to Walk the Talk's Zumba Class

We want to keep showing everyone how much there is to do when you sign up to be an "I Want to Walk the Talk" member. Last week I peeked in on the zumba class and I found myself bopping around the room wishing I could move like that right now! :) It was a high energy and fun class. Just one of many offered. This week is the Wii tournament and there is still time to sign up! What are you waiting for!

Ethan

Last week I got a call from a couple I worked with in 2006, letting me know they had their first child and wanted some photos of him. I was so excited! I love it when I get to hear back from people and see how they have grown together. They were just as fun as I remember them and their little Ethan was a total ham for the camera :)
