Weekend Extravaganza!

Cameron's team from St. Louis & Kansas City (the Sho-Me's) came in for a fun filled weekend in the Windy City! I had the pleasure of joining them out on Friday evening for a night of Latin / Salsa flavor & dueling pianos. They all continued the fun through Saturday night with a trip to the Second City Comedy club. I know Cameron will miss working with each of them on a regular basis, but he's created lifelong friendships throughout the past 10 months. Good luck to Kari on taking over this team and on the new addition to her family in June!

On Saturday, the Kaiser women came in for our annual shopping trip. The group was a bit smaller than past years, but it's always fun to catch up for an evening. Thank you Ladies for making the trip up to Gurnee, I had a great time as always!

Oh What a Night!

Saturday was a great time with great friends. In honor of the Bride to Be, I thought I would post a few pictures of the evening.
Ladies - thanks for including me, I wouldn't have missed it!

Happy Halloween!

It's been a pretty quiet week...eerily quiet and it's starting to freak me out! Must be the Halloween season. Anyway, I don't really have too much to report but I wanted to pop on to say "Have a safe & happy Halloween!" This weekend is full of plans again - work party on Friday evening, bachelorette party for my old college roomie on Saturday evening (not sure what Cameron is going to do without me!) and a party lite candle party on Sunday. It's like this every weekend until Thanksgiving! I'm not really sure how it happens, all of a sudden our calendar is full! I know it's a common problem with everyone, so I really am not complaining - we cause our own madness.

Have a great day!

Halloween Fun!

This weekend we went to 2 Halloween parties! I know that Cameron & I are probably too old to be dressing up for Halloween, but I gotta admit - we LOVE it!! I think we will still dress up for Halloween when we're retired. This year we chose to go as "Rock of Love"...a bachelor type tv show with Bret Michaels (lead singer of 80's hair band "Poison") as the one trying to find love. I was Jess, the chosen girl & winner of the show (she has partially pink hair).

Bret Michaels normally wears a cowboy hat over the bandana:

One Year Ago Today

One year ago today had to have been the worst day ever for our family...Andon was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. At that time we really weren't sure how much longer our little man would be around! Scary to think back to that time! What a difference a year makes! Andon continues to amaze us all with his tolerance of everything to do with this cancer - treatments, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, pokes & prods, check ups, MRIs...all of it! He just takes everything as it comes and laughs once it's over. The best news yet was earlier in the month when we found out that his tumor is responding so well to his current treatment that it's shrinking! Thank you for your continued prayers for Andon - we have complete faith that this little Superman is going to be around for a long time to come!

Notre Dame

We went to the Notre Dame game on Saturday with the O'Haras. We're fortunate enough to have a standing invitation from our friends in South Bend to go to a ND game annually...we get to see our friends and cheer on the fighting Irish all in one fun weekend! Too bad this year ND is terrible! Oh well - still a fun weekend in the Bend. Thank you Sean, Sarah & Caitlin for opening your home to us once again!

Fall 2007

Fall is my favorite season, always has been. It's so fun to drive back home to IN and see the farmers out combining with all of the colorful trees in the background! LOVE IT! Our trees have finally started turning this year (so late!) and I just had to take pictures of our backyard...
