Pray for follow thru!

Last week I got an itch to buy K some outdoor toys- so one trip to the store later and we are now the proud owners of a trike, bubble lawn mower, golf set, chalk and a big blue ball. Oh the fun-



Mother's Day was fun and exhausting- we went out for brunch and then up to Shedd Aquarium- one of my favorite palces in Chicago! It was amazing watching K explore and watch the fish. She just thought it was so funny when one would swim past her. She is such a joy!
We are at a point now where G has accepted a job with _v0n in IL and we are set to close on a spec house we built with our builder next week. Both situations are a blessing to us. The house was completed and had just received the occupancy permit, and the following week we had a contract to sell! Exciting-especially in this market. Then G has been interviewing at several places and has had numerous offers and gladly accepted one that was still close to family and has the most incredible relocation package (NO packing or unpacking for me!!) Life is good. However, we need to pray for smooth transitions and follow thru on arrangements!
Here is a quick shot of the new Crocs Aunt Heidi, Cousin courtney and grandma got K...too cute!

A Walk to Remember...

Sunday was a beautiful day in the mid-60's so we headed outside for a walk with K. She likes to pick up and collect rocks and now dandilions. For a while now, she also likes to walk Molly herself. She is just a trip and has been such a blessing in our lives!

Prom 2008

What a blast! It couldn't have been better! Although, I could have done without the tornado sirens going off as the students arrived :) The weather eventually broke and most of the kids never even knew there were sirens!
Enjoy the pictures! The theme was "Evening in Paris" colors were gold, silver and black. The night started with a grand march in the gym and then moved to the venue- Expo Center in Valpo. There was a 20' Eiffel tower, a great entrance, a cafe scene and a park scene...it all turned out amazing! The DJ was brought in from out of town and he typically does national events...he was worth every cent we paid him! The (over 800!) students danced most the night and just about everyone stayed until midnight. I'm so happy how things turned out...I don't know that I'd change anything for next year...except the theme of course! :)
