Summertime!

Well, we have been busy hanging with family and friends.  Can't believe it will be a little over three months until our little guy makes his appearance.  We have decided on his name, Grayson Patrick Flach.  We revealed his gender and name at my parent's lake house. Ellie is very excited to be a big sister although she wanted a sister when we asked her, she loves babies in general so it's no doubt that she will be quite a helpful big sis to Grayson.
The summertime has hit into high gear with concerts, festival, and lots of outdoor time. At the lake house, Ellie went on the boat and loved it. She even got to steer. We went to the Laurie Berkner concert, (I know we are going to kids concerts now), with Ryan, Aristene, and Colton. The kids loved running around, and Ellie showed us some of her moves.  Today, we went to Strawberry fest in Long Grove with Ryan and Colton and again the kids had fun. The kid rides and bouncy houses were a big hit will Colton, and Ellie only liked the train.  We even saw comedian/actor Anthony Anderson make an appearance for some food network show.  Glad we left before the storms came through.  All in all Ellie has had a great start to her summer.
