What a great weekend!!

It may have rained through most of our drive to and from Arlington Heights, but we were driving so what do we care?  It was decent weather in Arlington Heights and the kids got to run around and see their grandparents and cousins!  Kelley's cousin Matthew had first communion and we were invited to the party!

Someone remind me to thank Grandpa Rodney for this...

I had some relatives over this past weekend for my daughter's 6th birthday so I busted out Rock Band and it was the life of the party. I've never been more impressed with Rock Band's ability to make total strangers into a functional band and actually make it work.

One thing I discovered about the group experience is that it's REALLY hard to keep your own instrument straight when everyone else is SCREWING UP theirs! I am somewhere just south of a "decent" Rock Band Guitar player. I can get near perfect on all the "Easy" songs but I stall about halfway through on Medium.

Park Season Returns!

At last after this brutal long winter where even March felt like February, even after April 1st where we could see our own breath - finally, FINALLY we get a day where we can go to the park without our jackets!

Matthew is really amazing in how much he's grown up since last year - he would barely climb this thing last year, now look at him!
