Autumn was here from May 17 through July 2. We didn't do anything real exciting while she was here - but I think she had a good time. We went swimming a few times, went to Bass Pro Shop, went to Crown Center and the Liberty Memorial. Most of time we just hung out at home. She discovered Facebook and played on the computer quite a bit. Michael worked a lot so she spent most of her time here with us.
On June 6 I went to Chicago and Milwaukee with two old friends of mine. Kathy Q lives here and I have known her for 23 years. She and I went to visit Kathi Mc who lives in Chicago. We have both known her for 20 years. The 3 of us drove up to Milwaukee for one night. We stayed at the Pfister in downtown Milwaukee, went to the art museum and to the Third Ward shopping district. We took the 'scenic' route back to Chicago along Lake Michigan. It took us most of the afternoon - but was a nice drive. It was about the journey - not the destination. We didn't really get to see Chicago as we had planned - but that's okay. It will still be there next time :)
Taryn and Hunter came down for Father's Day weekend - so all Brad's kids were with him this year. Probably for the first time in years.
My summer class was canceled due to lack interest. Only 4 people signed up. So I am just spending the summer with the kids. I waste a lot of time on the computer but I have also been working on photography some. I took pictures of my Milwaukee trip and Jake's baseball team. I added the baseball team pictures to a Shutterfly share site - leishajdg.shutterfly.com. I also came up with a name for my photo biz - It's All About the Image.
Michael took Autumn back to SD on July 2. We had our cul-de-sac '4th of July' shindig on the 3rd of July - due to other commitments for the neighbors. On the 4th we went to watch Independence fireworks show with Mom, Dad, Nan, Trent, Michelle, Jake and mom's friend Debbie. It was a nice evening.
I think that is about it.
