Breakfast with the Penguins.

A couple weeks ago we headed back to Ohio for several reasons:
 1. To get Doogie de-clawed...yep it was time and we are so happy we did.
2. To have Breakfast with the Penguins & The Schneider Family
3. To help my sissy celebrate her birthday.
A fun filled weekend for all - even the grand-parents who "had" to babysit while we went to dinner and a movie to celebrate my sissy's birthday. 
First up - Breakfast with the Penguins. Josie was SO excited about this day which made it all the more fun for the rest of us. We headed to Cincinnati bright and early Saturday morning...blizzard and all. Nothing was going to stop us from this experience!!
After a special breakfast we headed to a private viewing where we learned lots of new facts about Penguins.
 Lyla and Josie having their own agenda...
I just LOVE this picture...

Of course we made her pose.
And this is when my camera died - BOOOO - check out http://www.threeschneiders.blogspot.com/ for much much more!  A great fun-filled Ohio weekend - Ohio we love you so!  Sorry grandma this doesn't mean we are moving back. 

The weekend before we went back to Ohio, The Grandparents headed to Chicago (already planned weekend) but The Grandparents weren't complaining - 2 weeks in a row.  The only thing they complained about was the stomach virus we gave them during their visit.  We were all sick with a nasty - highly contagious - stomach virus for a week.  Ughhhhh....Lyla got it - then Michael - then me.  We were so happy when grandma & DD arrived for some tender lovin' care.  We didn't leave our place the entire weekend (well except for one quick grocery trip) which looking back was a bad idea...they didn't have a fighting chance...we trapped them in all our germs. 

Grandma and I went to grocery and returned to find Lyla passed out in DD's arms :)

Grandma quickly swooped in for some cuddles :)
While Michael and I layed on the couch curled up in blankets...grandma & DD entertained Lyla...which I must note coloring is her absolute favorite thing in the world!!!  Her favorite suitcase has been forgotten...now her box of crayons and coloring book go everywhere with her!
2 family filled weekends back to back - great times - even when you are down for the count with the stomach flu!
