Rick and Kate Visit

We had a wonderful visit with Rick and Kate. We ate lots of good food, drank lots of good beer, and just enjoyed each other. We even pulled off the 40th Anniversary surprise for Richard and Elaine! We made them a scrapbook and took them out to a delicious dinner at Fresco by the Beach. A good time was had by all!

The Best of Summer

We have been enjoying family picnics, trips to the Oak Park kiddie pool, LOTS of trike riding, and some wonderful family visits. Grandma Sherrill and Papa Doug joined us for a 3 day "Stay-cation" during which we relaxed, ate out and played games. (Unfortunately, Nicholas got sick for one of the days - high fever, vomiting, the works) but it was actually nice to have another "mommy" here to help take care of him. During his umpteenth Thomas video of the day, he proclaimed, "This is a special treat!" And thankfully, the next day he was fime and ready to eat a big breakfast at Jeannine's!
