Baby!

No, not ours--cute pictures of our niece! She was definitely worth driving to Adam's family reunion. Supposedly, she looks just like Adam when he was a baby. Clearly, we all hope she grows out of that later! We didn't get to spend a lot of time with them, but it's always nice to see the family. Here we are with Scott, Erin and Baby Charlotte.

Back to School

As part of our epic driving adventure over the first weekend in August, we helped Jesse move to Rantoul, IL. He'll be attending the U of IL at Urbana/Champaigne to earn a PhD in...something scientific at which he'll no doubt be terribly brilliant. =)

The driving started on Friday afternoon and continued until about 1:30am Saturday. That's about the time we all started hallucinating with fatigue, so we snagged a hotel room and finished the drive to Rantoul at 10am on Saturday. Jesse's new place is a nice little townhome, a two bedroom, 1 1/2 bath, with a laundry room (which Jes was especially excited about).
