Kylie's Play

Tuesday night we went to Kylie's Christmas play. First their musical group the Sidesteppers performed. Kylie is 3 rd from right. Then she played Mrs. Claus in the Souders Elementary production of "Broadway Santa". It was big hit! I posted a slideshow and 2 short videos I took of the performance. :) Double click to make the slideshow full screen.

Ya Ya Chicago Weekend 2008 - 11/30-12/3

We had our usual great time in Chicago! We had to change our dates and there were 70,000 Radiologists in Chi-town with us and no hotel rooms so we ended up in a fabulous (and expensive) apartment on Walton right off Michigan Avenue. Since we probably won't do this again we decided to have a cocktail party to repay our kids and friends for the great parties they have for us each year. ;)

Visit to Alexandria, Virginia November 14

This is the incredible sculpture we went to get at Lenny's but it was just too large and fragile to haul home. :'( We are trading for another similar but smaller piece later.

How great to be together again!

Cousin's Rob & Corinne
We had a bittersweet visit with Dennis' Aunt Colette
just days before she died. We held her hand and think she knew we were there.

Catching up to do!

Gee, I have not blogged for over a month! I have some catching up to do! We have been to Alexandria, Virginia, back to Chicago for Thanksgiving and my annual Ya-Ya. I will try and add a few pictures!

This is me caught by Jorge's iphone stuffing the turkey!
