Lake County Children's museum

Yes, cleaning out the camera -- here's a picture of the kids on a simulated roller coaster at the children's museum.

Chicago Botanical Garden

Here are a couple of shots of the kids at the Chicago Botanical Garden. Courtney liked the flowers; Dan liked getting wet!

Hal playing tennis

Hal is enjoying playing some tennis this summer. Here he is playing in the court at the park behind our house.

Supersize Me

I thought this was an interesting movie - not completely fair at times, but it has made me think twice about what I eat.

Settling in

Here's a picture of Allie from the Kirtland temple. I downloaded it from our camera and thought it was cute.

The bunnies left our yard after enough handling by the kids, and we no longer have an excuse not to mow the yard. Teresa is watering our flowers with Dan right now, and we are getting pretty used to the new house. Chores have been allocated to the kids, and we are back into a similar schedule as before the move.

Enjoyed seeing Dewey and Susan this weekend-- they brought Hal back from the UP from a week at Camp Hiawatha scout camp. Did an afternoon session with them at the Chicago temple, which was great. Had a good time with them, and we were also surprised to see several friends from when we lived in Appleton WI.

Hot dogs, schools and bunnies

Here are some pictures of the kids in front of their schools also in front of an authentic Chicago hot dog restaurant. We also found some baby bunnies from our back yard! The bunnies are about as long as my index finger, and do not yet seem big enough to hop away.

Move in for Teresa and the kids

Teresa and the kids have left Ohio and are driving to Chicago now. The moving van with all our stuff is in town now and will be unloading early tomorrow morning. We're excited to be together and to get settled in!

The report is that the kids are in good spirits and all are asleep in the van except Courtney and Hal.
