Here’s Our Anniversary Present from the Kids

Veronica and Eric secretly purchased the two tickets to the Cubs game for our 20th anniversary a few weeks bag.  It ends up it looks like today is going to be the day the Cubbies clinch.  Even though I’m a Sox fan (can you tell which one of us gets more respect), I’m really looking forward to it.  We’re leaving in just a little bit. 

Hopefully, it’ll be as exciting as we anticipate.  We’ll keep you updated.

We Now Own Lake-front Property!

We always wanted lake-front property! We’ve had record breaking rain this weekend. Note the 2 white boxes in the middle of the 1st, 3rd & 4th pictures. They are the tops of our neighbors’ mailboxes. The water was basically 3 1/2 to 4 feet deep at that point. It receded during the night about a foot, but we’re getting more rain today due to Ike. So far nothing in our house. Hopefully we’ll make it through another day and not have lake-front property with an indoor pool!

Christmas Preview…

Here are a couple shots of the two newest members of the family. They are so excited to get to meet everyone this Christmas. They’ve heard so much about Uncle Larry and hope he’ll make it too!
