Tonight I went into Chicago and had dinner with Clint and Sarah at a Mexican restaurant. Then later we went for ice cream.

Margie April 24, 2010

I've been spending so much time doing work outside, now things are backing up inside.

Well today it's been 5 years of marriage! Also Emily is 22 weeks old today!

Shelby loves climbing trees, lately.

Marla April 23, 2010

Another clock picture. We are headed to Lebanon, Illinois to visit McKendree University (where Vaughn will be going next year). We left so late because we had to wait for Vaughn to get off work and we have to be at the college at 9am. We left Geneva at 11:30pm and arrived at our hotel at about 4:15AM. My body is going to be so messed up from my crazy sleep pattern this past few days.

I saw this on my way to work and thought it was funny. Under the picture of the eagle on this wheelcover is real life bird poop. (This picture did not turn out well but I didn't want to take another cause I thought the people in the car might think I was stalking them.)

First it was valet parking, now it's a carwash at the gym? So silly...

Joe has duty tomorrow so he celebrated our 5 year anniversary today. He know I love my sweets and snacks. It was a nice surprise.

Marla April 22, 2010

That is 5:07 AM!!! I was up, ready and waiting for Colleen to pick me up to go to Oprah. FYI-I am NOT a morning person.

Miranda April 22, 2010

Marla, my mom and I went to see Oprah today. Cameras must be "checked" if you bring them into her studio, so we left ours in the car. So, I never took any pictures at her studio...and this one if off the internet. I wasn't too impressed with Oprah though. Kind of disappointed by her acutally. But the experience, and being with Marla and my mom, made it all worth while!

Colleen April 22, 2010

I got to babysit for Gianni today while Miranda, Donna and Marla went to the Oprah show. I was having so much fun playing with him that I forgot to take a picture, so I took a picture of a picture.

Donna April 22, 2010

This was our view at the crack of dawn, as Miranda, Marla, and I headed to the Oprah show. It was beautiful, but AWFULLY early!

Maureen April 22, 2010

The old computer finally broke in a way that made it seem more reasonable to just get a new one rather than trying, again, to fix the old one. Jim moved some of the parts from our old one into the new one, though, before plugging it in.

Jen April 21, 2010

Janet had the baby today. I felt like I was right there even though is was far away. She let me be on the phone to hear everything. when I heard the baby and everyone scream it was a boy it made me soo happy I cried. I really wished I could have been there. It was soo nice my Dad and mom were in the room with Janet and Ben to see the baby being born. I'm so happy I got to be a part of Baby Brady Gordon Schmidt's delivery.

Marla April 21, 2010

While waiting to get my hair cut today I was looking for a magazine to browse through. All that they had was haircut/style magazines and Men's magazines...boring!

Colleen April 21, 2010

Today was the last day of Religious Education (CCD) for the year. These are gifts that I received from my students.

Maureen April 21, 2010

Jim's just wrapping up his temp job with the census this week. I start mine on Saturday.

Betty April 21, 2010

Finally got to a doctor today... Good news! Same blood pressure and cholesterol meds plus water pills, aspirin and calcium... And the insurance covered all but $17.64. But still have HP/Agilent insurance. Wondering what Medicare will be like...

Miranda April 21, 2010

I met my friend Lori for her birthday today!
