Thea Walking

A friend of ours took this picture of Thea walking to me...priceless!

She finally took her first steps on Memorial Day in Michiana. Drew was the one who saw it while I was upstairs getting her an outfit. No worries though, she walked to me moments later. We'd like to thank Aly and Jamey for motivating her. They were the ones that actually got her to walk. We are very excited and relieved with her accomplishment. While she's not even close to running, she's getting better everyday. Yeah Thea!!!!

where to begin...

Clippers game..believe it or not she is quite comfy in there. just realized not the best pic of Drew..
One of our few moments home in the past couple of months. This is her new favorite seat!

Easter Egg Hunt at the Dominick's near the Rivero's House. Didn't quite get it..maybe next year!

Hi All! I just wanted to pop in an and apologize for being a horrible blogger. Not sure were to begin. Lots of things have happened since Thea turned the big 1. I am sure all of you are asking...no she's not walking yet. I blame tiny feet...I hope. Cruising and walking with toys and even going up and down stairs (the right way). Just not willing to take that leap of faith. Not sure if she just overly cautious or just has no use for it...but it will happen one day (at least that's what I've been told).
February we had a great visit to Grinnell for Thea's family Bday party and Jack and Cynthia's 40th wedding Anniversary Party. Thea was a real trooper and partied till the end of the night. Well if you want to call sleeping in a Lonnski's booth till 2 in the morning "partying" we'll take it! March was actually quite nice. I think we spent the entire month in the state of Ohio...it's a miracle!!! Thea and I went with some friends to a Columbus BlueJackets Game (great seats..thanks again Jessica and Corbin!). Then Papa Jack made the voyage out to Columbus and he and Drew got to see a game themselves. At least he got a few fun nights before getting hit with the nasty virus that was going around (sorry again Jack). April was here before we new it, Easter in Chicago....surprise!!! Thea and I stayed the week and spent lots of time with family and friends. Drew flew back in town on Friday for a fun weekend of Cubs, Pubs and Comedy. We had a great overnight out with Lonn and Jess in downtown Chicago while Nanna and Oompa watch their grandbaby and of course Gracie Moon dog.
We came home for a few weeks, hit a Columbus Clippers game (nice field!) then packed up again for a mommy/daughter road trip to Iowa/Chicago. Yep, 10 hours just the girls (Gracie included). Believe it or not Thea did great as always...it does pay to start them early! Drew yet again hopped on a plane and met us in Chicago. We stayed the night with the Rivero's and let the wee ones visit. Had another adult night out and went to my friend Scott's wedding. It was great seeing people I haven't seen in years...and of course Brooke :)
WOW...have I lost ya yet? I am tired just thinking about all that we do. One day we will settle down, but for now...the traveling must go on! Off to Michiana for Memorial Day Weekend for the kick off of the beach season!!!!!! Then back home for awhile...I hope. Maybe somewhere in there
Thea will take her first steps. Where they will be... who knows!
Love, Health and Happiness to All,
The Sherman's
