Eric and I went up to Summerfest in Milwaukee today. I didn't want to carry my camera so, this is the only picture that got taken today, and it was from Eric's cell phone. By the way...thanks go out to Molly and Colleen for taking care of Cole for us.

This flower shop gets set up every year in the parking lot by Cole's Hapkido and my gym. I found this sign very strange...are they trying to trick us into thinking that we are getting a good deal if we buy 2 of their 10" baskets? or don't they think that we are smart enough to add $18 plus $18?

These were Gianni's measurments at his 15 month check up today! He also got a shot and hardly cried!

We took Woody (Dylan's cat) back to the city for him. Then we went to this cool place called "I Cream". They actually make each individual order of ice cream according to your specifications. This is the mixers that are mixing and freezing our ice cream. It was delicious.

Parade! I like the little cartoon guy who looks like he's photo-bombing this shot, over on the left hand side.

Here are a few of the pictures from my friend Tika's wedding to Raj (Tika is in the red sari with the green sash). They are both from Nepal. Most of the rest of the people in the pictures are of my colleagues from India and their families. Wonna, David, Larry and I are probably the exceptions... I've been working with all of them since I left California the last time and they are good friends. I wish I could bring all of them back to meet y'all!
The first picture is of most of the team and their families.
The second is of me and Chirag with his lucky Mom, Divya, in the background... She's lucky that I gave him back!
The third are of most of the kids. When Rajiv showed up, his son (the one in the middle) was terribly shy and would not let go of his Dad's hand. [His mother has died very recently.] But about 45 minutes into the reception, Karthik's two amazingly beautiful daughters and Divya's oldest son broke him free and they all ended up sliding around on the dance floor like crazy Farrell cousins!
The fourth is Divya, David, Ketke, and huggy Chirag. I work with everyone except Chirag...
I was just so dazzled by the saris and how amazing my work-a-day friends looked in them! And they assure me that I would fit easily in the same saris (with less pleats...) but that I'd just need a "slightly" larger blouse to fit underneath ;-). Very polite...

Tiny frog that we found crossing the path at the park district nature sanctuary. We went there to participate in a fort building contest, but after it was over, we went off hunting for frogs.

Aunt Mary Lou and I went to the 'Old Settler's Breakfast' at Mill Race Inn. It is a yearly event during Swedish Days for anyone who has lived in Geneva for 15 years or longer. These hashbrowns were swimming in butter!

They brought our 'Sandy' in to rehearsals, tonight, so that we could take some publicity shots for the show.

We met Miranda and Gianni at the splash park today. Gianni wasn't very thrilled with it so we headed down to Swedish Days instead.

We decided to go out for a walk in between storms tonight, just to get everyone out of the house & into some cool fresh air.

Colleen and I are looking for stuff to lend to St. Peter's for their 100th Anniversary celebration. We got some boxes of stuff from Aunt Mary Lou's house and went through it tonight. So far we haven't found much for St. Peter's but we found a lot of other cool stuff...watch the family forum for them. And, if you have any memories of St. Peter's (photos, newspaper clippings, stories, etc) they are collecting them for a book.

Our friend works for Gill Management (they run the Burger King's around here). He invited us to the Private party that they had tonight. The new restaurant opens tomorrow.

It's a WeGo High tradition for graduating seniors to sign a wall backstage if they were in any shows during their time at the school. Tonight, Annie & I found Allison's brick.

Toilet was all plugged up today. We couldn't get it unclogged. Thanks, Joe for coming over and helping us.

This is a bird nest in our yard that fell down in the storms. I saw the mama bird today by the nest. It was so sweet.
