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.

Margie June 17, 2010

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!

Marla June 16, 2010

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

Colleen June 16, 2010

Mary and child statues at St Peter Church.

Miranda June 16, 2010

We went to the splash park with Marla, Cole and some of our neighbors.

Margie June 16, 2010

Catching fireflies.

Donna June 16, 2010

Doesn't seem like shamrocks in front of Colleen's are too much to ask.....

It's raining again.

Colleen June 15, 2010

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.

Maureen June 15, 2010

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.

Betty June 15, 2010

And tonight my pills look like a sad dog instead of Squidward.... I need to GET A LIFE! ;-)

Miranda June 15, 2010

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

Donna June 15, 2010

Have keyboard, will travel! Watch this, I can even use my feet!

I really dislike paying the AT&T bill every month. It's such a waste and so expensive!

Colleen June 14, 2010

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.

Maureen June 14, 2010

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

Margie Jun 14, 2010

Her first evening of Girl Scout Twilite Camp.

Marla June 14, 2010

Dinner on the grill.

Maureen June 13, 2010

We spent some time at Brookfield Zoo today

Marla June 13, 2010

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.

Colleen June 13, 2010

I finally have blue water, now what to do about the duck?

Margie June 13, 2010

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.

Miranda June 13, 2010

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

Trying to stay dry down at Pride of The Fox Fest

Colleen June 12, 2010

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!

Marla June 12, 2010

Ipod is all ready to go with the new "Secret Colours" CD loaded on it.

Miranda June 12, 2010

My clever son erased ALL of my contacts in my phone today. So, please send me your phone numbers!

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!

Colleen June 11, 2010

I drove into Chicago to see Dylan's Band and have dinner with Clint and Sarah.

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.

Maureen June 9, 2010

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!

Marla June 8, 2010

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!
