Lazy Afternoon of Swimming....


Liana

Liana and Ben



It was gorgeous out today, finally after such a rainy 4th of July. Carol, Neil, and Liana came over to Ottawa for a little swim, cookout, and skydiver watching. I think Liana was born to be a fish. She would probably still be in the pool if hunger hadn't called.

Happy Father's Day!!!

Here's to my husband-one of my favorite dads. You're so good with the kids, always have been, and they know they can always depend on you for advice, love, and a shoulder to lean on.

And I love you too!

P.S. Happy Father's Day to my Dad ;0)

Favorite Cousins.....


Caitlin surprised Liana with a birthday visit to Build-A-Bear. We all had lunch and enjoyed the day. Liana has grown up so much before our eyes. I love this picture!

Breast Cancer's Network of Strength Walk to Empower



I was kind of sad this year on Mother's Day-both of my kids were still at school taking finals and my husband was on call at the hospital having an extremely busy weekend. I longed for those days when I got homemade gifts from the kids-it all goes so fast! So my sister invited me to join her and her family in a 5K walk for breast cancer. We raised $600 between the two of us and had an unbelievably gorgeous Chicago morning. Here is Team Daughters In Pink posing with the skyline.


Liana did amazing and walked almost half the way. And she's right-we all look good in pink!!!


Here's a belated Mother's Day wish to my favorite moms: Mom, Mom Rosborough, Carol, Donna, Tricia, and Tammy. Hope you all had a great day!

Family Room Update....



I've decided I still need one more quick coat of green paint to even out some roller strokes but I'm so excited about the way things are looking that I thought I'd post update pictures. So even though everything is still masked and my drop cloths (kids old bed sheets!) are still draped everywhere here is how things are looking......and I'm loving it!

Can't wait to see some eggplant color in the kitchen to go with this green! Gotta hurry up and finish because I've got lots of yard work calling my name.
