It's been a while....Life sure is grand....a new grand baby was born in September and she is so sweet...Brianna Brooklyn! We got two new family pets Yoder and Zoey. They are sweet cavapoos. Fall is here and winter is knocking at our door, time to settle in and be content with the world around us....Hope you are well!

We are in the middle of winter in the U.P. and I have been spending a lot of time going through blogs again so I thought I would update mine and see if anyone out there was popping in on me.

Hope your winter is going good....The pics are of Kevin, Jillian and Cameron out sledding in the back yard.

I am Alive

Summer fun in Chicago

Nicole and Dave invited us to go on thier summer vacation to Chicago. We had a Great time! We did so many things when we there...Kevin and I spent the first evening at the Art Museum it was very nice just to spend time together and view all the wonderful art. The next day we all went to the Science Museum and even went to the Omani Max...every one enjoyed it. Nicole and I went to see Counting Crows and Maroon 5 that evening at a very nice outdoor amphitheater this concert was Great...the opening singer was a women and she was so good. The next day the guys got up early and went to the cubs game and we went to the Sheds Aquarium, the kids loved it. We then went down to Water Tower Mall and ate lunch which was so good went back for dinner and then spent the rest of the day hanging out on north Michigan Ave...we stayed on south Michigan Ave over looking Grant Park which was so nice. We spent our spare time in the park which was great for the kids...On the way back we went to Trader Joe's and Sam's and ended the trip with one full car of goodies...Thanks guys for inviting us we had fun....
