Kiddie Land

We decided to go to Kiddie Land since we will never get the opportunity again (thank goodness)!

Arnold / Infanger / Stewart Camping 2009

Shawn & Kelly's Visit

Shawn and Kelly came in for a weekend. We went to the Cubs game and Paul's 40th birthday party with the Afrodisiacs. It is always great to see them!!

Abbi's 1st day of Kindergarten

Unfortunately Abbi's first day was my first day so I couldn't be there to see her off. Thanks to Ms. Leibforth for taking pictures for us. I can't believe my little girl is already in Kindergarten!!

Michigan with Infangers/Stewarts/Olanders

Another fun trip with the friends! 8 adults and 9 kids, it was a FULL house! (Thanks Mom and Dad for letting us use your house!)

Arnold family reunion

The 3-Day!!

What an exhilarating experience! Despite the rain and 97 degree temperatures, we had a great weekend.



The police and neighbors of Mount Prospect were AWESOME!













Setting up camp in the rain, after walking 20 miles of which 12 were in the rain, NOT FUN!
















Checking for blisters was a normal occurence... the rain brought on a lot of them!
















It was rejuvenating to see our families!!!































The last leg was a beautiful walk along the lakefront.












Walking into the holding area at Soldier Field. WE MADE IT!! 60 MILES!!

Michigan with Jacobis and Juarezs

I know I have been horrible about posting this summer. While I have a few minutes (that doesn't happen very often) I am going to try to catch up from the summer. First off was the trip to Michigan with Jeff's family. A great time was had by all. Abbi tried so hard to keep up with Louise and Jazmine. I am NOT ready for her to be a teenager... 4 is bad enough!



The Girls!!
