Same size

We always measure the kids on or around their birthdays on the family height board, which Hal is prominently displaying here. After being measured today, we noticed that he is 5 feet 4 1/2 inches, which is exactly as tall as Teresa is. Strange to have a child that size. We measured Tyler and Dan also, and, remarkably, they are both taller than they were one year ago.















We are going bowling tonight for Hal's birthday party. He's having us plus six of his friends to do Cosmic Bowling and eat pizza at Freeway Lanes here in Solon. He's also getting the Aaronic Priesthood tomorrow in church, since he turned 12 years old. We believe that Grandpa Harry will be on hand for that event.

I drove home from Chicago after work last night, and got in at 2am. It's a fairly long trip, but it's a four-lane highway the whole way.

We are in waiting mode on our house right now in Buffalo Grove. We've made an offer, and the sellers are interested, but it may be next week before we find out if it will go through.














Here is the house we're looking at. We like that it has a park behind it. If that doesn't work out, we'll start looking again at some other options.
