How exciting to see Dylan playing at his record release show!!!

Marla June 11, 2010

Just got my hands on the "Secret Colours" CD. Thanks to everyone that came to the show. It was a really fun night because of you.

Miranda June 11, 2010

Secret Colours record release party! It was great to see them - And Dylan was awesome! So proud of him!

G and Brendan had so much fun climbing on the tanks at Cantigny today!

Colleen June 9, 2010

I took a walk during my lunch today at work. There were quite a few birds flying back and forth between trees near a marsh.

This is a portrait of the guy who the high school auditorium was named after. It hangs in the hallway outside the auditorium, where either Annie or I will be rehearsing almost every weeknight this month and next. I often wonder what kind of interesting life he lead and why they decided to name the auditorium after him.

Donna June 9, 2010

Miranda and I took Brendan and G to Cantigny. SO fun!

Marla June 9, 2010

Right after the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup Cole and Stephen went outside to blow the airhorn app. on Eric's phone. They hadn't watched the game but went out to celebrate anyway.

Margie June 9, 2010

Jesse diving into the pool. Finally got most of the green out of it. It was a bit cold for me to swim today, but the solar heater is working great! I surprised myself!

It was such a rainy day. So, we decided that it was a good day to sign up for the summer reading program.

Colleen June 8, 2010

Rain on the leaves.

Miranda June 8, 2010

My garden is flourishing! : )

Maureen June 8, 2010

Margie is sharing her collection of Girl Scout uniforms with Annie's troop, so that they can wear them in the Railroad Days parade. Annie tried a bunch of them on, today. We had lots of fun & she can't wait to wear this one in the parade!

Helping Dylan out with his aching back.

Miranda June 7, 2010

We turned Gianni's car seat around so he is now facing forward. He got such a kick out of it!

Maureen June 7, 2010

On our way home from the first night of rehearsals for WeGo Park District Theater's summer production of Annie. Keep your calendars open for the weekend of July 30! Annie's in the orphan ensemble & in the Hooverville scene. I'm a police officer, an announcer and the assistant to President Roosevelt.

Donna June 7, 2010

My rose bush! Hooray! Anybody else?

Colleen June 7, 2010

The pool water is getting to be a better color, but the duck still likes to use it. Hopefully the water will be blue and the duck will be gone by Swedish Days.

Colleen June 6, 2010

My usual after work snack.

Marla June 6, 2010

Cole was trying to figure out this "cap bomb" that I had bought for him. It's like a cap gun, but instead you drop it on the ground to set the cap off. The neighbor boys came over to see what was going on.

Maureen June 6, 2010

Allison & Annie's first doodle of the evening, while waiting for our food to come at Macaroni Grill.

Miranda June 6, 2010

I went with Jim tonight, to help him do his pickups in the rain.

Margie June 5, 2010

I never thought all those years ago that one day I would be attending Terra's wedding.

Miranda June 5, 2010

We celebrated our friends daughters 8th birthday today!

Marla June 5, 2010

Went & got tickets on "Hot Tix" website (half price tickets) at 1:00 today for the 4:00 "Blue man group" show. It is so awesome and hilarious! If you haven't seen it I would suggest that you get tickets for the next birthday or celebration at your house (you won't regret it!).

Colleen June 5, 2010

Clint getting his hair cut on a sidewalk in front of Foltos Tonsorial in Batavia at 12:30am.
It is a fundraiser for the Ronald McDonald House. The barber and his employees cut hair from 10am on Friday and will continue to 4p on Saturday. Clint was the barber's 37th haircut of the 'Chop Around the Clock.'

Some very interesting mushrooms in my front yard. It looks like they are all huddling under a broken umbrella.

Betty June 4, 2010

We pass this cemetary every day when Dick takes me to work. It's the Holy Cross Catholic one, but it is only one of the 17 in Colma, CA. Our RV park is in South San Francisco, but two sides of the park border Colma.

Donna, I keep wanting to tell you to bring Roger and Brooks out here for a little "vacation". They'd love it... Here's a few links:

It's very peaceful here...

Looks like Cole and Stephen have been here.

Miranda June 4, 2010

Looking for some landscape ideas....I want to put more "flowing" flowers in this bed...but, don't have the creative ideas going. In another life, I would like to be a gardener!

Maureen June 4, 2010

Eating dinner outside... Almost too big for the little table, but still making it work

I had a dream last night about cutting this watermelon; it was a complicated project requiring 2 people; when in reality it only took me 3 1/2 minutes to slice it and cut it into bite size pieces.

Marla June 3, 2010

Back from that last 1 hour day of school. He's now a 5th grader.

Laying on the couch after a long afternoon at the pool with dad

Margie June 3, 2010

The neighbors across the street had a "messy" party. Madi enjoyed the shaving cream fight!

Miranda June 3, 2010

Brendan received the "Citizenship Award" today at the school assembly. The award is based on excellent academics, involvement in sports, role model with peers and in the classroom, etc! He also got straight A's this quarter! We are SO proud of him!

Jen June 2, 2010

First time at our water park, James and Emily loved it.

Marla June 2, 2010

Last full day of school. They had a party and could wear their pajamas to school. That's Cole and Natalie (she lives across the street from us).

Maureen June 2, 2010

There are 83 days of summer vacation and school comes along just to end it...

Miranda June 2, 2010

All tuckered out!

Colleen June 2, 2010

I started weeding out this bed of weeds. Does anyone have shade plants that they want to share or get rid of?

Maureen June 1, 2010

My well-used official census pencil. I'm still out there knocking on doors and counting people whose census questionnaires hadn't been received at the census office. We are aiming to finish up by the middle of next week. For the most part, I've had a great time getting out there and talking to people in the community.

Miranda June 1, 2010

Gianni playing with our neighbor McKenzie. She wants to be "Mommy's helper" this summer!
