A Belated Birthday

Since we decided to move the weekend of my birthday we put off celebrating it. Then life got busy, and we had visitors...and so on and so forth. So 2 months later we went to the John Hancock building 95th floor restaurant. It gave us a beautiful view of the city and enjoyed a wonderful breakfast. They even gave me a little key lime pie with a candle in it and on the plate wrote Happy Birthday in chocolate...cool huh?

For those of you who remember my friends Amy and Ashley from nursing school here we are at Ashley's baby shower. She got married last summer and now lives in Cincinnati but Amy flew in and Ashley's friends from here in Chicago threw her a nice Baby shower....It was great to see the girls and spend time catching up on all our lives.

Road Trip...

Hello everyone!

I posted some of these pictures on my blog, but I wanted Grandma to see them!

The 4 of us REALLY had a wonderful trip. (It was really nice to have 4 drivers). We enjoyed our time together and were so thankful that everything went so well!



Love to you all! Sarah

5th of July

We had a great 4th of July weekend. Friday we bought a bike for me. We decided to take it on it's maiden voyage up the lake shore and back through the city. Bike riding through a city is a fabulous way to not only get to know a city, but to spend a beautiful day outside. Not too strenuous. Saturday we spent sailing and having a cook out with friends. I'm sure you'll all be glad to here, I did not get sick this time. The wind wasn't real strong, which made the expert sailers a little sad...but I enjoyed it immensely! This is the boat we took out
Heidi and I basking in the sun.
Then today we had church, sang at the nursing home and then went out to Eisenmann's for another cookout and some great games of volleyball.

I'm going to try a new idea for our blog. Can you come up with something unique from your town. Like sailing, growing up I never associated Chicago with sailing. Then again, maybe that's because I have a father who gets motion sickness faster then I do? I'll be posting more things you probably never new about Chicago over the next few months....once I figure out how to upload my pictures from my cell phone.

Love you all!

Bloomington...

Mom, Emitt & I were in Bloomington for a SHORT time this week. Mom graciously came with me and watched Mr. Mitt while I hung out with the Fab 5. I was sooo excited that Chelby and her kiddos were at Grandma's when we showed up yesterday.

I tell you what...it was more of a challenge this time to take pics of Aubrey & Emitt than in February. This is about as good as it gets! :)

And, sweet little Chasers is getting so big!
Great seeing you Grandma. Thanks AGAIN U. Denny & A. Bonnie for your hospitality! Love to you all!
