Aunt Gretchen and Uncle Clete came to visit. They also had Eric's cousin Julie and husband Brian with them (they were in the other room).

Madi is at her Waukegan home, so she is not the one who did this. I think that Jesse has picked up Madi's habit of posing her animals.......

The winning team warming up before the race. It must have been the outfits that gave them that winning edge!

Today we bought a lawn mower and a grill. I cut the lawn for the first time ever. I needed to learn once Joe goes out to sea. I also helped put the grill together.

They were having a meeting because they heard that there were some Beanie Babies up in the attic and they wanted to figure out how they could ask me to get them down.
How could I resist after they held a meeting and all. Here are the 2 boxes of Beanie Babies that I pulled down from the attic. After looking at all of them, we put some back up in the attic, and Madi is playing with the rest. I figure that they never will really be worth any money, so she may as well enjoy them.

My new bulletin board. We put this up at the end of every school year. Then we put markers out and the students come by and sign it.

The duck seems to like the water despite the greenish tint and gazillion honey locust blooms floating in it.

It's been a while since I have posted pictures. I take them every day, just don't find time to post them. Anyhow, this is Madison when she came home from school today. I always ask her how her day was. She said it was a little bit sad, and a little bit happy - and that is why her face is like that. It is half a smile, and half a frown. (She was sad because she cut her toe, and happy because they got 2 recesses.)

I've seen a lot of sidewalks these past few weeks, out enumerating for the census. We're about 75% done in our district.

I think it is time to start up the air conditioner. It was hard to sleep last night. Reminded me of when we were kids and it was so hot up in our room.

It was quite a hot day to be outside working but, Eric was. He wanted to trim up a bunch of the trees in the backyard before they lay the sod (did I mention that besides getting the driveway done and the deck painted that we are also getting sod in the backyard?)

Taking Charlie on an adventure on a little island in the middle of a nearby lake. I think the kids would love to spend all day here, exploring.

A storefront in downtown Geneva. It is next to Starbucks. Looks like it used to say Tri-City Appliance Shop. And, above the door it says ____?___ Beauty Salon.
