Happy Birthday to Stuey & Wrigley!

Stuey turns 12 (or so) today!!










Wrigley turns 2!!!
Can't believe either one is that old!

Ready for the weekend.

Kevin and I are planning a
little roadtrip this weekend!
We'll start by a stopover in
Hebron for Kristyn's birthday...
Then head north to Saugatuck, MI,
followed by Holland, MI, and
Grand Rapids, MI!
On Sunday, we'll head back
through Chicago, ending in
Hebron again!!

Homeward Bound Walk 2009

Yesterday, Kevin, Tonya, and I,
along with Piper & Wrigley,
walked a 5K to help fight
homelessness in Bloomington.

Along with about 500 other walkers,
we battled the constant rain and
50 degree temperatures to make it!

Together, everyone who participated
raised almost $30,000 in town alone!

Wrigley and Piper did really well!
Piper made it the whole well and
loved going nose to nose with a giant mastiff!
He loved the big dogs, but was never too distracted!

Wrigley made it about 2.5 miles or so.
He probably could've made it, but he we could tell
his little legs were getting completely worn out.
Luckily, he's only 10 pounds, so I just tucked him
under my arm, like a football, the rest of the way.

Overall, they did great! Much better than expected!

Darbi's Birthday and the Return to Muncie! (April 4, 2009)

Darbi turned 26 years young on April 4th,
so Kevin and I made a trip to make her
birthday extra special!










Before the bday festivities,
we toured Ball State University!
A lot has changed in the four years
since I'd last been there!









Beneficence.































Where spring graduation is held.









The bell tower through the
Letterman Building










The new David Letterman building!









Shafer Tower... the road goes around it
on both sides now!























Darbi meeting Muncie's finest...
sadly, not Erik Estrada..
and luckily, she didn't get shot.






















Fun at Lisa's office













Kevin on the turf.










At the football field













Kevin enjoying some
Concannon's donuts!


























Manicures and Pedicures for CHEAP!






















Apparently Arnold Palmer has
his own drink?



























Darbi's cakes... Make a wish!


Family Feud!















Lisa, Darbi, and Melanie





















Roommates!! Lisa, Melanie, JIM, and Darbi :)

We lost a great member
of the family yesterday.
Rocky will be missed by
anyone who ever met him!
He's in a place with Big Dogs,
Lambies, ropes, sticks,
wooden bears, Kevin's cars,
baby birds & moles,
milkbones, and
ANY food he wants to eat!

We miss you, Rocky, and we'll always love you!

Baby Perleberg!

Last weekend, Kevin and I drove down to the Lawrenceburg, Indiana,
area to meet baby Abigail Melissa Perleberg and visit
with her parents, Mike and Stacey.
Little Abby's right around three months, healthy, and pretty happy!!
She loves blowing spit bubbles and cuddling with her mom,
although her dad ALWAYS makes her laugh and smile.
We're so happy for you, Mike and Stacey!! She's beautiful!!









Cuddling with her mom, Stacey


















With Melanie! (Daddy was making her smile)































Kevin - not knowing he was in the pictures, too... (He was able to
get Abby to sleep easily.. until Melanie woke her up with the camera)






























We wore her out!
