Tree damage

A couple weekends ago there were some pretty intense winds
around here! Northwest Indiana flooded just like Southern
Indiana did in June. We escaped the rains and storms,
but a lot of the county lost power because of the winds!

Of course, with our luck, our ONE tree snapped apart during
the wind, and came within inches, probably less, of crashing down
onto Kylie's car, which was parked out front!

Luckily, absolutely no damage was done to her car, but our poor
little tree might not make it :(

Railcats, HO!

Kevin and I went to Hebron over the weekend of August 24th,
for my mom's birthday!
On Saturday, we hung out with Matt, Kristyn,
and the girls (and dogs).
On Sunday, we went to see the Gary Railcats baseball team
play for my mom's birthday! It was a big group:
mom, dad, Rodney & Elaine, Matt & Kristyn, Jordyn, Kevin and I!
It was a beautiful day and a blast!

Enjoy the photos!

Parental Visitation

My parents came down for the weekend to hang out.
It was fun. We met them at the casino in Shelbyville on Friday,
where we all lost money (as can be expected).

On Saturday, we went down to Brown County, then hung out
around the house. On Sunday, we didn't do a whole lot either,
but we did go see Kevin's band play at night.

Here are just a couple quick photos to share.

Dad decided he had to mow... Good thing he had his
trusty beer holster with him.

Piper loves when people visit.

So does Wrigley!

Mom tried sushi... and LIKED it! (just a California roll).

Dad likes most food...

and some more of the band.

Character Zero at Best Buy

So, Character Zero came back from a brief hiatus
(with a new drummer) to play at the Best Buy store picnic
on Sunday. Since Chad and Chris both work at BBY now,
and Kevin and Steve previously worked at Best Buys, it
seemed appropriate.

My parents were in town for the weekend, and
Tonya, Kylie, and Riley came down for the show, too!
Even Chad's parents came down from Greenwood.
It was a nice night out and good to watch them all play again.
Kylie hadn't ever seen Kevin play!

I'm just glad it started while it was still light out. It was nice
to be able to get some okay photos!

Kevin!
