Rebekah
graduated High School this year! Congrats! Here's pics we took at her house
before going to the ceremony. Unfortunately, none of the pics we took at the
ceremony turned out.

Melissa's
last day of Daisy Scouts and her bridging ceremony. She's a brownie now! They
let balloons go into the air and Melissa was disappointed since she wanted to keep hers.
The last pic is on the very last day of school - the parents made a little archway
with their arms and the kids loved it.

This is
our next-door neighbor, Samantha (Sam). We take her home from school everyday since
they all get out at the same time and she lives right next door. She just finished
4th grade so she only has one year left at Madison!
|
Now that
Emily can stand on her own, she likes to go into the office and spin the office chair
around while she stands next to it. It's a fairly impressive feat considering she
isn't walking yet.

Wrigley
Field in Chicago. We got a chance to go to a Cubs' game this year with my friend
Greg from work and his girlfriend Missy. The family doesn't get downtown very often
and this was the kids first Cubs game.

Melissa
and Jacob making sovenier pennies at Wrigley Field while mommy shops in the Cubs store.
|
  
We bought foam fingers for the kids and of course,
they just loved them. Jacob almost fell asleep on his.

Some
pics of Melissa at tumbling class - we couldn't get very close so it's hard to see her.
She really liked the class.

Jacob
fell in love with Greg I think. He spent the last like three innings sitting on his
lap playing with Greg and Missy. Jacob cracks me up! Good thing Greg didn't
mind...

Here's
daddy and Melissa singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the 7th inning
stretch. Melissa's kindergarten had just learned the song so she sang it good and
loud!

Bunch
of random pictures of Wrigley field and the surrounding skyline. The top two rows
are from our seats high above 3rd base. The bottom row are pics we took while
walking around the stadium. The kids got bored with the game pretty quick so we
wandered around the stadium for awhile. For what it's worth, the Cubs won the game
10-1 and had a grand slam in the first inning. Game was June 3, 2007 against
Atlanta.

Jacob
and Melissa down in the expensive seats after the game. The park staff is nice and
lets people down to the front to take pictures once the game is over. It helped us
bide the time until the crowd thinned out a bit.

We
took the Red Line to Wrigley after parking near Greg's condo. Worked out really
well... not sure I wanted to attempt parking near Wrigley on a game day.

Jacob
and Melissa really took a liking to Greg and Missy - the kids wanted to be lifted across
all the streets and Greg and Missy accommodated them... hehe. Was kinda nice
to have someone else deal with them for a bit. On the right... two exhausted kids on
the ride home.
