Fun with the Sargent Family

We had a great time seeing John and Kristy, and of course, the star of the evening- sweet baby Jeremiah. What a cutie!

Carolyn and Uncle Bryan

What's not to love???

Blue Man Group

Last weekend we went downtown to see the Blue Man Group (many thanks to M&D Scheffers!)

At one point early on in the show, all 3 blue men came out into the audience and prowled around, staring at people, myself included, just like this:
Then they went back onstage to do some more crazy blue man things. However, it wasn't long before they came back into the crowd. This time all 3 blue men came tromping directly up to my seat and took me back with them to the stage. What followed was a very funny and embarrassing improv episode involving a lot of staring, twinkies, bananas and laughter. They shot this picture at the end and gave it to me as a present, along with a carryout box of mashed up twinkies and bananas. Guess you had to be there...

Cicada Invasion '07

That's right, Cicada Invasion '07 is here. Not exactly the natural disaster it was hyped up to be, but still, they are disgusting and they are everywhere. These little buggers have apparently been growing underground for the past 17 years, and were predicted to come out in mass numbers on Tuesday, but it seems the Chicago Tribune was not completely accurate. You can read their new prediction and explanation here.

Don't they have horrible red eyes?

Horrifying, even in death.

Many people are trying to save their trees from cicada damage by wrapping them up. Unfortunately, the Chicago wind quickly undoes many people's efforts.

Amber

This is my friend Amber. Doesn't she just look like a joyful person???

Yard Gnomes

These are two of our yard gnomes. Maybe they will protect us from the cicadas.
