the little bug......


Spent some time playing with Ry and Lacey last night at April's...we played the drawing game where each of us took turns drawing/adding on a small part....they are so funny. I wish I would have taken one of the drawings home. Here's a pic of the little bug.

Something is wrong with this picture.....


This is what Grant and I saw while walking our dinner off last night......I couldn't resist taking a picture of it.
We had a great weekend. Busy as usual, but great. I made the flourless chocolate cake recipe from Trish today. It probably could have baked a few minutes longer, but I have a fear of burning things. When I tried to pry it loose from the round pake pan, I obviously didn't reach the center, because what came out was a giant chocolate donut. Tasted yummy though!

Folding Fabric

I have already established that I am not the best blogger. It seems (as I read other blogs) that my life is just too boring. Does anyone want to know that the highlight of my yesterday was folding fabric pieces after washing and drying them? I love to fold. I love matching up corners. Most of all, I love the way a clean stack of multicolored fabrics look. I would take it apart and wrinkle them all up, just to fold them again. Miranda, this picture is for you.


We spend Father's Day Sunday with Grant's family (minus Robyn and the kids, who were visiting Robyn's parents for the week). Grant and his two Sibs went to see an "Ondo sibling" movie. You know, the ones that I wouldnt be caught in the theatre watching. Last one I went to I fell asleep. I don't even remember the title!!!

This weekend I am working and then we are celebrating Father's Day with my family in Downers. Holly and Dan got the apartment they wanted in downtown Downers Grove!!! We are very happy that they will be moving back from Madison in a few weeks. Dan started his job in Chicago on June 9th, while Holly is packing up their stuff and making moving arrangements in WI. She has had one of our siblings up there every week so she doesnt have to be alone. Thank goodness for summer break! G and I will go up there in a few weeks to help them load the truck to make their treck back to the land of safe drivers.

A few weekends ago, we had our girls weekend (day) down in Bloomington. We got up at the crack of raining dawn to watch Leann in the TriShark Triathalon. My first triathalon watching experience was spent trudging through goopy mud. Trish got the worst of it though.....

Leann did great. I thought watching might encourage me to work out more often. What it did do is justify why I dont ride a bike (many bikers got road rash as they literally skidded into the transition point).

We had a great lunch with the girls and Chad. Got to meet Logan, Angie's first little one. Everyone say it with me.....Awwwwww.Also, Meghan and Rob were married June 14th in Geneva. Sister Emily graduated High School and Sister Anna graduated Junior High. Congratulations!

I had my first endoscopy last week.....results were okay, some inflamation in parts of my stomach, but nothing critical. I will continue to take a medication that reduced the acid in my stomach. I was loopy for a few hours afterward, obsessed with the yogurt (that I dont remember eating....), asked about my medication three times and dont remember getting dressed or leaving the hospital in a wheelchair.
