First Anniversary

On 6/7/09, Kevin and I celebrated our first
anniversary! Over Memorial Day weekend,
we took a road trip to Michigan and Chicago,
but for our actual anniversary, we took in a
Cubs game in Cincinnati, enjoyed wonderful
German food, got too much sun, and had way
too much fun!















Anniversary flowers delivered to my office :)
















Pre-anniversary photo from Abbie & Eric's wedding.















Our anniversary is Piper's birthday!















D. Lee broken bat with the ball in the photo, too.

















It was HOT in the sun.





























Big Z as a pinch-hitter... The game lasted 14
innings... but the Cubs won!!

Kevin at his happiest!

























































After spending too much time in the sun, we had
a photo shoot!




















Deliciousness...
















After our fun, the boys were all happy to have
us home again!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Piper!

Piper boy turns three today!!




















































He gets to spend the night
with Sam! So, hopefully he'll
wear himself out :)

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!
