Happy Thanksgiving

We had a lovely Thanksgiving Weekend. Uncle Bobby joined us from Florida and Kendra, Mary Ann and Harriet came up from Indy to celebrate. The meal was delicious as usual.

Doesn't Meg's hair look cute? Our good friend Christa got her that adorable outfit for her birthday.

Friday we watched CC take the Class A State Football Championship.

Saturday morning we visited the Burgett tailgate before the PU-IU game and then headed home.

Weekend with Fluff Ball

- Zach was excited to be the first in his class to take home their pet bunny. Luckily, it was a stuffed bunny! We took pictures of fluff ball's adventures to make our page in the class journal.
- We are the school's Annual Fund chairs so this weekend Elizabeth, with some help on Saturday, prepped the Parish mailing (2,400 letters).
- Chris was on the youth Kairos retreat Thursday to Sunday. He said it was a wonderful experience.
- Saturday the kids had their first Basketball practice.
- Sunday Chris and the kids went to the Blackhawks game.

Go Boilers!

This weekend we enjoyed the Purdue game with some of our Chicago friends. The kids had a great time throwing the football at the tailgate and watching Purdue make a not to shabby showing against Wisconsin. It was a very fun weekend.

Halloween and Meg's Bday Party

Well, we survived! 11 girls got their hair, nails and make-up done in our "pre-costume" party celebrating Meg's birthday. Thank you to everyone who made it work, the girls all had a great time.

After the party we did some trick-or-treating, of course.

Happy Halloween!

Meg's 9th Birthday

We are happy to report, we made it through our whirlwind weekend!

Saturday after Zach's rainy soccer game we drove to Indy for the annual McLean Pumpkin Carving. We celebrated Meg's birthday, carved pumpkins and enjoyed seeing all the cousins, aunts and uncles and Grandma and Grandpa. That night we also celebrated with Cousin Allison and Grandma Chris.

Sunday we headed back home so Meg could sing with the Children's choir at 11am Mass. Grandma Chris came along with us to see Meg sing, play volleyball and attend the Festival Choral Concert where Chris and Elizabeth sang. It was a long day, but we made it though and Meg enjoyed her birthday weekend.

Lion King

The kids loved seeing Lion King, an amazing performance.

Soccer Saturday

Saturday we enjoyed getting to watch soccer and not worrying about rain. Meg and Zach both had good games. Zach's team lost 1-5 while Meg's team won 5-2. Meg was quite the superstar scoring a goal and a number of assists.

Oktoberfest 2010

We had a blast at this year's St. Cletus Oktoberfest. Not alot of photos here of us, but it does give a nice feel for the event.
