I was looking at Miranda's picture of her kitty and realized that Jesse's cat looks a lot like hers. Such a pretty coloring. Jesse's cat came from a shelter and she is still a bit skittish, so she wouldn't hold still for a picture.

I finished a gift for Andrea's baby shower today while I watched "The Bachlorette"

I finally got Clint's and my letter ready to send to Farrell at camp. I hope he gets them before he leaves for home.

Vaughn and Amanda returned home from their road trip today. This is the shirt that Vaughn brought home for Cole.

Cool leafbug that we found on Colleen's deck. The kids had a discussion on the drive home about which pool was better - Colleen's or the Park District Pool. Colleen's pool won - hands down!

Nikki spent some time in the hospital today with contractions. They gave her IV fluids, and they slowed down. They think she may have been dehydrated. But we are not so sure. She is still having contractions - not so strong or often though. Hopefully she can hold out until her scheduled c-section. I don't want to take another emergency drive to the hospital - too nerve wracking.

Cole playing with a remote control spinner that I bought him. He was bored today so we pulled it out to give it a whirl.

Jim took this picture of Annie at the Cougars game. I wish that Shelby, Allison & I could have been there, too. Hope you all had fun!

Vaughn and Amanda have been on a two week road trip. They started in Colorado visiting family and then went to Yellowstone, Devil's Tower, Mt. Rushmore and some other stops. Today we got postcards from them.

At her last doctor visit, Nikki's doctor thought the baby was really big, so she ordered an ultrasound. She had it this morning. Everything looks good, and she is only 6 lb. 14 oz. right now.

We went to a comic book store today, after I turned in my census stuff. It brought back a lot of nice memories for me of buying comic books with Marla & Molly, then trading them with each other as we finished them.

Many mornings I cannot finish making my bed because the cat is snoozing so peacefully.

This is what's left of the tree that I had to cut down so that the sun could hit the solar pool heater that I made. It can't be cut down any further without renting a larger chain saw than the one that we used. So, I'm thinking that I should do something crafty with it: strip the bark and let the kids paint it, learn how to carve a bird or a bear or a dolphin into it, make a cool sundial out of it.....any other ideas?

The director wants all of us to wear heels, so that we'll look taller than the girl who's playing Annie. I haven't wore heels since Marla's wedding (and, even then, took them off immediately after the ceremony). Ouch... This is going to take some getting used to...

This is the bulletin board that Maureen and another girl from work put up at the end of June. I was too busy working to help. I think it turned out great and I've actually seen people stopping to look at it which makes it worth doing.

Our central air hasn't been working well all summer. Today, we decided to get an inexpensive window air conditioner for our living room, to help us make it through the next month or so.

Me with my new haircut. I just had it styled today for a picture for the church directory. I can't seem to get it to look very good by myself

Chuck Lencioni died just 15 days after being honored as the Grand Marshall of the Swedish Days Parade.

This picture is not very good but it's the story that goes with it that's interesting. On our way to karate tonight we saw a lemonade stand...I have a rule that when I see one I have to stop (I think it's cause when I was a kid no one ever stopped at mine). Well I went against my rule and we didn't stop. So, on the way home I saw this Koolaid stand. It was on a busy intersection (East Side drive and Division)...I thought that was kinda weird. But, feeling guilty about passing the other one by I was trying to figure out where I was going to stop the car to get out. As I got closer I noticed that the boy was about 14 or 15 years old but the kicker was that he was smoking. So, I didn't stop...in fact I turned around and drove past him again so that I could get a picture.

We have actual grapes growing on the grape vines that we planted a few years ago!

The van is having problems. It ran fine this morning. When I went to drive it this evening it wouldn't start. We jumped it and it started. But then I put it in the garage and turned it off and tried it again...wouldn't start. Hopefully it's just the battery.
