Jen October 7, 2009


This is James 1st girlfriend. She loves hugging him and he like to hold her hand.
Also today I got admitted to the hospital to get steroids for the baby, and to stop my contractions.

Cole October 7, 2009

This is me trying to figure out what to request to FM 89.1. I ended up asking Alison to play Dance Dance by Fall out boy. It was the right decision.

Marla October 7, 2009

We had a really cute visitor at bowling tonight.

Maureen October 7, 2009

Apparently, I am on the 'Health and Wellness' committee at work. Today, three of us (Colleen had the day off) put together a bulletin board, mostly because the corporate bigwigs are coming to our office tomorrow & we wanted them to think we were on the ball with this whole company-wide 'Health and Wellness' initiative... My part was the lower right-hand corner, with info about the physical & emotional benefits of walking, along with info on local forest preserves & labyrinths.

Molly October 6, 2009

The fun never stops.

Marla October 6, 2009

I ran to Pheasant Run today to pick up some tickets for Cole and I to go see "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". Does anyone want to go with us?

Margie October 6, 2009

Gabby and Bonnie, and Bonnie's son Jayden. Gabby spent the first 6 weeks of her life at Bonnie's house, and I took care of Bonnie and her sister Terry for years. They all came over for a visit tonight.

Maureen October 6, 2009

Family Reading Night put on by WeGo for Kids tonight. They had a bilingual storyteller there as a part of the evening. Shelby was a bit distracted during the performance. He & I ended up playing around with the camera a bit & got this extreme closeup shot. We think it looks like someone is inside of the computer, looking out at us :-)

Jen October 5, 2009

Today I went to the hospital due to contractions they had to give me an IV and a shot to stop the contractions. I hate IV's.

Marla October 5, 2009

Eric heading out of town for work. He went to southern Illinois and will be gone for a couple of days. Since his car hasn't been working he got a rental car for the trip. He was supposed to have an economy car but they didn't have one available for him so he ended up with this big truck.

Margie October 5, 2009

It was getting late, I didn't have a picture yet, and Madi was running around the house with a headband/flashlight on, so here you go.

Maureen October 5, 2009

Bringing our 'new' stove home. The oven on our old one stopped working on Friday night. We got this one from some guy in Elgin, who was selling it on Craigslist & picked it up tonight. Tomorrow, we rearrange our kitchen so that it will fit, since it's 10 inches wider than our old one. We're really looking forward to cooking in a normal sized oven!

Maureen October 4, 2009

Went out to see the Animal Houses exhibits at the Morton Arboretum, today

Margie October 4, 2009

Jesse, Lance & Tyler at the new skate park in Spring Grove. (I was not allowed to get out of the car to take pictures, so had to sneak one through the window.)

Marla October 4, 2009

He says that he really doesn't like math, that he's not very good at it. So, what would every parent say...."The only way that you are going to get better is by practicing"

Cole October 4, 2009

This is me and Dylan hugging. We had not seen each other in a long time.

Jen October 3, 2009

Got one bag packed for moving to my mom's.

Molly October 3, 2009

As Cole said, they helped Uncle Denis out. They had alot of fun. This is a bad picture, but oh well.

Marla October 3, 2009

Cole and Stephen...lunch before rollerskating.

Cole October 3, 2009

This is me and Stephen at Funway rollerskating, and you can see Denis up in the DJ both. It was fun we got to help him with a game called Hyper Speed Plates. The objective of the game is to skate in normal form but when the music stops you have to go pick up a plate that is your ticket to the next round. On the last round Farell got to put free small drink tickets under some. It was very fun.

Maureen October 3, 2009

We walked downtown today to check out the Oktoberfest that was supposed to be there. Apparently it was cancelled... So, we walked to Tastee Freez, instead!

Dylan October 3, 2009


We just finished recording our EP and T-shirts and stickers are on the way. Oh and the music video is in the works shooting starts in November.
Everyone better come to at least one show. Check out our Facebook or Myspace for upcoming shows.

Margie October 3, 2009

I got my hair cut today. It is not exactly what I asked for - lots of layers. I even brought a picture. Every time I ask for layers, I get one long layer. Lots of layers must be "old fashioned" but I still like them.

Jim picking up apples in the front yard.

Margie September 30, 2009

A science experiment I did with the day care kids. Put bean seeds in baggies & watched roots go down to find water, and plant go up to find sun. Then we turned the bag over to see if roots & plant would continue in same direction. The kids were surprised to see that the roots and plant changed direction to continue their jobs of finding water and sun.

Another day at my mom's James loves spending time with my Mom. He loves being with the kids in the daycare. He learns so fast. I wish I could see how he plays with everyone. He is getting so close to my mom now. I don't think he even misses home.

Margie September 29, 2009

Playing some kind of dressing up, lining up her stuffed animals game.

Cole September 29, 2009

I just went on a feild trip to a forest preserve. I had a good time and this is my class going to get on the bus for 40 or 45 minits! It was a long ride at least I got to sit by my freind. His name is Gorge. We had a good time there.

Marla September 29, 2009

What I did at work today...mending books. I always get a huge stack of books that need something fixed on them. I wanted to try to keep up with it this year (repair some every day) so that it didn't get so overwhelming. I had fallen behind (again) but by the end of the day all that is left in my mending pile is one book...yeah!

Maureen September 29, 2009

Baking cookies, wearing the apron that Jim's Aunt Pat sent us last year & that has been hanging up in the kitchen ever since. She's been wanting to do more 'girly' things lately, trying on perfume, painting her nails, wearing an apron & baking. I wonder why... But, then again, this new interest in life as a girl still hasn't stopped her from catching frogs & wrestling with Shelby, either.
