Tia's 3rd Birthday

Happy Birthday to Our 3 Year Old Princess!! Tia loved going out to eat for her birthday and had a very special day!

Gabe enjoyed his 2nd bath at home, he enjoys the warm water.

I caught a big one!

Daddy took Parker, Iris and Tia fishing today. All three caught fish, Tia caught the biggest one. They had such a good time they're already asking to go again.

Welcome home Gabe

Gabriel Jack Hessling was born July 16th at 12:03 AM at Elmhurst Memorial Hospital. Gabe weighed 7lbs, 7 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long.

Mom & Gabe are doing great, as are the kids. Parker especially adores Gabe, and wants to hold him all the time. We're so thrilled to add another miracle to our family.

It's our Birthday!

Iris and Tia are spending a rainy day inside, but enjoying making cakes with playdough. Doesn't Iris look cute in her new glasses?

A pre-Birthday party picture, full of silliness and sass!

Music with Mindy = Tons of Birthday party fun! They had a great time, singing, eating, cake and of course, the pinata!

Spending a beautiful summer day at the Morton Arboretum, Children's Garden.....the hideout under this evergreen bush is the best ever! A great day!

Our Birthday Girl

We spent the night downtown after the 4th to see the fireworks from Navy Pier, the kids had a great time and begged to go to the beach. Iris enjoyed her special day, time at the beach, the zoo, opening her presents, going out for pizza and...well when we made it to the birthday cake we were all a little tired so a few tears were shed but overall a great day!
