SOOOOOO BIG!!!

Okay, I know, I haven't been keeping up with much all that well, so here goes!

Olivia will be 6 months old soon, is rolling around like crazy on the floor from one end to the other, so by the time of the reunion she may even be crawling....watch out Grandma! It's hard enough to leave the room for 5 minutes when she's in her bouncer because all she does is wiggle over and practically fall out of the darn thing. Growing? DEFINATELY! She goes to the Dr. on the 9th of July for her 3rd round of Shots (6 months) and then we'll be good to go until she's a year old. Been healthy and happy all this time and I can't wait, for those of you that haven't had the chance to get over, to meet her.

I dunno who's heard what, but I am back to work, now. I, along side Brett, am also working for CVS, just at a different store (I'm at Crystal Lake, he's at Barrington). I am the "Photo Lab Supervisor" but the title is something in itself. It has all been enjoyable thus far and I hope to continue there for as long as I can, or until something better lands in my lap. Jack had an interview with Sears today, and he'll find out tomorrow if he got the job (as a technician). So hopefully that pans out, then he'll be on a normal schedule, unlike the one he has now at Bull Valley.

Well that's the update on us!! Here's a couple pics of Olivia...

Euchre anyone?

Before I forget, congratulations to Inlaw2 and Outlaw2 on their retirement. Enjoy it!

Last Tuesday, we went to King and Queens for dinner. Afterwards we played cards, King and Outlaw 4 vs Queen and Inlaw4. King and I were killed in the first game but came back to even the score in the second. In the rubber match King and I were way behind but made a tremendous comeback. We tied the score at 27. We split the next hand at 3 each making the score 30 all. (Is the suspense killing you or what) I bid first but didn't have a thing in my hand. I bid 3 just to push the stakes up. Queen passed...King passed...and we waited for Inlaw4 to bid. FOUR she says. Holy cow, she took all 6 and the boys went down in defeat.

We went to Mirror Lake State Park yesterday. Our guide pointed out plants both good and bad. The main thing about the hike is we didn't follow any trails. I enjoyed the trip but I don't think Inlaw4 had that much fun. Here are a couple pictures from the hike.


































It's hard to tell from this picture but this is one of several steep ravines we passed. It's probably a 65 to 70 degree angle leading to Dell Creek. A couple of us climbed down one and that's the next picture.


































This hike was a little more challenging than I anticipated. Still, we enjoyed the trip.
