The Wedding reception.

I can't believe that this is the only photo we have that has a smidgen of the bride or the groom. So I have to be happy with a picture of Mike, his friend and his friend's daughter and the back of Aunt Therese. Tust me Erin and her gown were beautiful.

Trip to the city.

The rehearsal dinner for my nephew's wedding, which is why we're in Chicago, was Friday evening. We spent most of the day just tooling about the city. This is our arrival at the LaSalle St. station. We met Muf and Zach for lunch with our former neighbor Betsy and another friend of Zach's. We ate in Greek town. Fun.

We went to the Art Institute of Chicago on Friday afternoon. Great place

The home we left in Clarendon Hills

We spent four days in the Chicago area last week. We got there on Thursday and visited our old home town that afternoon. This was our little 3 bedroom, yellow brick ranch. Lots of good times there.

Backyard, Clarendon Hills

This bush was just a few little branches when we left 26 years ago. Amazing what a little time will do.

Polly's Birthday celebration!

Nine of us went to Zteja's last night for a birthday party for Polly. As you can see the HBMW made it again. He's such a party person. Verrry nice evening.

Good times, good friends, lots of catching up!

Enjoying the scene, each other and the food.

I always wear sweaters to match my face!

This is the boy who has been married for 10 years.

He always enjoyed puddles!

He always enjoyed dirt too!

This has always been my favorite picture of David.

A few photos of the bride to be!

Muf went through a stage where Little House on the Prarie was very important to her. We watched all the TV shows, read all the books, even visited DeSmet So. Dakota. Hence the dress and hat.
