I guess we'll have to get her a pet

Thanks, Pankau.

What's new

Rosalie waved bye to Mary on two occasions today.
Before bed tonight, Rosalie said "Mama." Maybe she was just making noises that sound like Mama, but it sure sounded deliberate.
Rosalie loves to climb up the stairs (video to come soon).

Rosalie's starting to understand us

Our New Baby

On our vacation to Michigan, we found a beach house and put in an offer. It's a modest place, right on the water. After a little work this winter (by little work, I mean total gutting), we'll be able to enjoy it and rent it out the rest of the summer.



Right out the front door is a small beach in a no-wake zone, so there are not many waves. Over the sand dune is Lake Michigan, which at time feels like the ocean. Check out the map and other pics here.

Place your bets!

At work, we're letting Rosalie pick the winner of Illini games

Big Girl

This is before we ate at Big Boy. We'll never eat here again (bad service; not clean; bad food). But we got a cute picture.
