The last few weeks

August has been pretty busy so far.  Seems like every weekend has been taken up.  A few weeks ago we went to our friends Alison and Ryan's parents farm near Rockford.  We had a great time getting away from home for a few days.  Luke had quite the weekend.  He managed to fall off a horse and almost get thrown off of a 4-wheeler too.  Guess he really is a city boy.  But he was all right and had a lot of fun anyway.

We also spent a weekend getting the nursery ready.  I don't have pictures yet but do have one of our new guest room we created in the basement.  Since we only have 2 bedrooms, we needed to clear out the room so our nursery furniture could go in the other bedroom.  We have a huge basement, but unfortunately it is unfinished.  So with help from John and Jeanne, we transformed one corner of the basement to a new guest room.  Turned out pretty good!

Last Monday I went to see my friends Jamie and Steve in Bloomington to meet there new little guy Parker.  He was born on August 1st.

This last weekend our friends Shannon and Wes came to Chicago for a visit.  We spent one day at the planetarium museum and one day at the Air and Water show.
