The Triplets' 1st Chicago Cubs Game!

It has taken some time to get settled in Chicago.  We have wanted to take Brooks, Reese and Sloane into the city to explore, but with unpacking boxes and the beginning of the school year it has been crazy!

A few weeks ago, we were able to attend a Chicago Cubs game.  Brooks, Reese and Sloane were very excited!  Steve has always been a Cubs' fan even when we lived in Texas so the trio knows all about the "Cubbies".

We were all dressed in our Chicago Cubs gear ready to go!

It was quite "windy" the day of the game....so the Trio snuggled with Daddy...

The view of Chicago from our seats....

It never fails....Brooks, Reese and Sloane always seem to talk us into souvenirs.....

Sadly, the Cubs did not win but we had a great time together and the Trio lasted 7 innings! 

No training wheels!

I have the most amazing husband!  One afternoon, I fell asleep and Steve decided to teach Brooks, Reese and Sloane how to ride their bikes without training wheels.  A few hours later, all 3 of them were riding like pros!

It was a nice surprise after my nap!

Adjusting to a new city....

Moving to a new city is emotional and challenging, but Brooks, Reese and Sloane have handled the transition with ease!  We are still adjusting to the different weather as well as the way "things" run in our new city.

A few weeks ago, I had to take Brooks, Reese and Sloane to an ophthalmologist for an eye exam.  In Texas, they do not require this exam to enter Kindergarten, but in Illinois it is part of the enrollment process.  Luckily, the trio all passed the test and enjoyed wearing the sunglasses after their eyes were dilated...

 I seem to have a habit of taking photos of Brooks, Reese and Sloane before they walk to the bus stop...

Before school on September 11....

Reese and Sloane are taking ballet and tap at a new dance studio....

Brooks before soccer practice....

A cool morning before school....if we were in Texas the trio would be wearing shorts! 

In October, we are taking Brooks, Reese and Sloane to Disney World!  Brooks is already getting excited!

Soccer season is much colder here than in Texas!  Hats, gloves and all!

I found these super hero capes at a moms of multiples sale here....2 girl capes and 1 boy cape.  It was fate!

Brooks, Reese and Sloane look so grown up in the picture!
