Father's Day 2010

HAPPIEST OF FATHER'S DAYS TO ALL THE DADS OUT THERE,
THE ONE WE HAVE TO CALL OUR OWN,
IS ONE BEYOND COMPARE.

LOVE FROM ALL TO ROB/DAD FROM BREN,"BUGGY AND LILLIAN"

FBU and the Gals Went Too!

We had a great trip to the Windy, (and hot and sticky and very traffic laden) City of Chicago, actually, Lake Barrington IL for Steve's Football University Camp. It was excellent training and Jenn and I tagged along for some overdue pampering and sweet digs at the Marriott. My pedicure is still fresh and looking quite stylish I must say. We got to enjoy the Shoppes of Westfield Mall (listed as one of the most popular Midwest attractions.) Lots to see, too little to spend. Still fun hanging with my all grown-up baby girl, Jenn-Jenn.. We drove back Sunday evening and all agreed it was an awesome journey. I've attached a photo of Steve's linebacker group (he is # 24 in red) More to write when more time to write....a happy Mom, ~B~

In the good ol' Summertime...

We are underway for Summer 2010! We have managed to ease into the season with some family time over Memorial Day (did I mention we ADORE my great-niece Cate?)We would love to be closer to "home" (Cincinnati) to enjoy watching her grow and become such a little person. She has got oodles of personality already! Anytime we can be with her is delightful.
I am on a stay-cation this week in prep for our mini-vacay to Chicago for our big guy's Football University. Jenn and I are tagging along as Chi-town affords some sweet shopping and dining options. Jenn still wants to go to the American Doll Girl Cafe' as she has quite the collection from her youth and it would be fun and nostalgic. Every Christmas, Grannie Shook's granddaughters would spend hours dressing their American Girl dolls and playing together...what memories!
Must dash now to laundryland....Welcome Sweet Summer!
