Our infectious times

Attention span

You can exactly tell where his focus and stamina gave out and primal instincts took over. 

Memorial Day weekend portraits

Not quite Bike the Drive

We didn't have to get up at 4AM for this year's Bike Around the Neighborhood, but it was good to get out on two wheels. It would have been a beautiful day for BTD, of course.

Last day of school

Frozen cake in a box for the last day of school

Better than no cake, but not as a good as real cake, we agreed.

Prairie food night

Our theme for Sunday dinner was Little House on the Prairie.

Chicken and biscuits and an amazing blueberry pie made us glad we weren't pioneers.

Twins Koz

Knoch Knolls

Muddy, floody, and wonderful, assuming you were dressed for it.

Which we were, of course. 

Finally spring

But actually the weather has been beyond spectacular.

Rainy, sure. Flooding, of course. 

But when it is nice, it is very, very nice.

Inclement weather night

Come-as-your-favorite-kind-of-inclement-weather night brought us windy, sunny, and two rainy days

Plus the guy from the weather channel to tell us all about it.

Karaoke night

Another great theme night. 

Studying the lyrics to "Hey Jude"

Walk at Big Rock

Culinary twins

You are sad you have not been eating at our house. 

Not shown: spaghetti and meatball night.

Fully compliant with Illinois law

Teacher appreciation day

If you are wondering how the children are holding up

They seem fine

First fish of the year

Not into drowning worms....

... but the lure of the pole was too much for her

One little sunfish at the end of the evening

In compliance with state law

We have made masks!

They fit great.
