My little Easter Peeps....

As you probably know the little Peeps that you eat are really sweet and full of sugar.

Just  like my little "peeps".

I love them so much.

Meredith.....

Mick and I had the pleasure of having Meredith for a couple of  days.

We had so much fun with her.  We found a use for our pool table!! Mick and Meredith go downstairs and she sits on the pool table and rolls the balls into the pockets.  It is a special game she plays with grandpa!

We took Meredith to Bounce A Rama.  They had a special bouncy area for toddlers so Meredith had fun running around.

It is fun to have special times with each of the grandkids.  Which one is next?

CNDI MAC

I took the Mustang out today and had it washed and then put it back in the garage.  While I was driving to the car wash I remembered the day I brought it home.  (Sounds like I am talking about a baby.)  It was April 15, 2003.  So my baby is about 8 years old!

I remember the day very well because it was about 80 degrees and I could drive home with the top down.  Then I probably had to wait a month or more for more nice days but it was well worth the wait.

I think I appreciate this car so much because I waited a long time to get the car of my "dreams".  After driving a minivan and SUV with kids in the back all the time I finally had a car of my own!

Eight years is a long time.  This is what has happened in our family since 2003:

  Meghan got her Masters Degree, got married and has had 3 children.

  Kirsten graduated from college and grad school, got married and will have her     second baby in about 7 weeks.

  Warren graduated high school, college and is in law school.

Got our dog,  Cubby!

Cubs still have not won the world series!

I can't wait for some more warm weather so I can drive around town in my favorite toy!

I do love my Mustang!

  

Fun Times in San Diego!

Mick and I traveled to San Diego this past week and we had a great time.

The weather was a little chilly, but it was great for golf.  We golfed 3 days and enjoyed the beautiful scenery

The last day there we had  dinner on the USS Midway aircraft carrier.  That was  a good time and I know Mick really enjoyed being on the ship.  

Here are a few pictures from our trip.  I love hotel rooms so I posted some of those too!

Home Again

I am home and I already miss sweet Evangeline.  We had so much fun while her mommy and daddy had a little getaway.  Here are a few pictures from our time together.

Sunny Arizona

Arizona is quite sunny, but the most sunshine I am seeing is from sweet Evangeline.

She is a ray of sunshine that I am enjoying amongst all the turmoil in the world right now.

Since Kirsten and Jon do not have any tv I have not been able to fully grasp the devastation in Japan.  I have seen images on the internet, but tv really brings things to life.

For me, a news junkie, this is a nice change of pace.  I will just see the beauty and innocence that only a child can have.

Enjoying the sunshine!

Date Night

Mick and I went to see a movie last night.  It was the new Matt Damon movie "Adjustment Bureau".  We compromised on this movie because it has a love story and some suspense/sci-fi/have to figure things out kind of movie.  (I would prefer just the love story, but marriage is about compromise.)

We got to the show about a half hour early.  That is just like us.  We are usually early.  We had to wait until just before the movie started to get our popcorn (minus the butter/oil) or else it would have been gone before the movie started.

As I was sitting there I was thinking about some of the first movies we had seen in our early years of dating/marriage.  The first one we saw, Mick picked out and I can not even remember the name. (I think it was a war movie.   I do not think he scored any points on that date, but I was already smitten so the movie was not important.) We saw it at a theatre in Palatine that is closed now.

The movie I remember the most after we first were married was the original Halloween with Jamie Lee Curtis.  I was scared to death.  Mick used to make fun of me because I would keep my eyes covered  through all of the scary parts.  Needless to say I did not see much of that movie.  We saw that movie at the theatre in downtown Libertyville.  I think it cost $1.  We went with our close friends Jeff and Dawn Schad.   We went to Baker's Square afterwards for pie.  Oh those were the days when you could eat a bucket of popcorn and have pie in one night!

We do not go to many movies, but it is fun to have a "date night" with my husband.  It's fun to stroll down memory lane and realize I am so blessed to still be madly in love with Mick after so many years.
