Froggy Fun

We found this cute little frog (toad) in our 'backyard'...


...we began playing with it, then dropped it (and I felt horrible) ...


...and in the end, Phil got a craving for amphibians.

A mighty good time with Andrea and Brad


Phil's sister, who about 6 months pregnant here, and her husband flew to Chicago for the weekend. We were really lucky that we got to see them while they were here...



We ate dinner at Gino's and then showed them around Chicago (since we've been there so much)...


And by some miraculous stroke of luck, we even saw a bit of Egypt while we were there!

(That big chunk of rock came from The Great Pyramid in Giza, Egypt. If I remember right, this was the building where the Chicago Tribune is, and there were lots of little pieces of other buildings embedded in the structure.) This piece of pyramid was probably my favorite sight; however, the "Giant Famers" were a close runner-up:)

Packers Fever


Phil got to go to a Packers game with 'the guys' I missed out on the fun, but seeing the absolute glee that came over his face at the prospect of going to Lambeau was good enough for me...
