Dylan's cat, Woody, likes lettuce. He is staying with us while Dylan is on "tour". He took this piece of lettuce out of the sink.

A while back I was pulling weeds around my grapes and raspberries. There was a thistle that was too prickly, so I left it and planned to come back with gloves or something to cut it down. I never got back to it, and now it is really tall, and the kids love the beautiful flowers.

At the dentist's office, after getting a cavity filled. I remember being so very scared of the dentist when I was a kid. My kids actually look forward to their dentist visits, even the hard ones like this, because the dentist specializes in pediatrics - they do great with kids!

"Secret Colours" tour bus. All packed up and ready to hit the road. They have a gig in Philadelphia tomorrow night.

Typical morning. After being woke up by the dog or the cat or both at 5am to feed Ellie and take her out, I go back to bed. This was the sight I saw this morning when I woke up for good at 7:30am. Both of them sound asleep! I sometimes want to get back at them by waking them up, but then I let them sleep.

Sweet little puppy who came to stay with us tonight. She's got a splint on her leg, but we don't know the story of why it's there. Her mom's staying with us, too.

These are my leftovers from dinner tonight with Joe's parents. I was super hungry when we ordered, but couldn't eat it all!

I found a trail near work so I could walk on my lunch break. This is a weed/plant that looks like it belongs in a Dr Suess book. I didn't realize it when I took the picture but it is in three stages of blooming with the 'flower' farthest away from the sun blooming first.

The estimate to get the car fixed today. It ended up costing about a hundred dollars less, so that was a good thing, anyway.

Stephen and Cole trying to make a fort to sleep in. They actually got it to stay up (I didn't think it was going to happen). After playing in it for awhile they decided to take it down and just sleep on the couch.

I bought her a bike at a garage sale. She likes it so much that she is out there riding it until the last shred of daylight is gone.

Gianni had his first sucker. This picture was actually taken yesterday, but we didn't do much today.

One of my last phone calls of the night at work was trying to help an elderly man navigate this website and print the data he downloaded. The call took about an hour!

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.

Happy Birthday to Uncle B! (I temporarily lost my camera on his birthday, so I used a picture from Brendan's assembly).

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.

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.

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.

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!
