Hmmm, can the Cubs unite us?

Andi and my rivalry runs deep and even plays out in our egg coloring activities. She has long been a Purdue fan (Boiler Up!), while my blood bleeds green and white for the MSU Spartans. We have an on-going bet during football season every year and whoever's team looses has to buy the other one their favorite cheesecake. Well, now that we are in Chicago we've realized that our rivalry ends when it comes to the Cubbies. We both love the Cubs. So, we will at least be able to enjoy a summer of together-ness.....but come fall, I would like the pumpkin pecan cheesecake please! 

Egg-cellent Coloring Contest, Easter 2006

This year's Easter Festivities were short on kids. So, the adults decided to get creative and put our crafty-ness to the test. After an hour, lots of paint and laughter I must say that I am impressed! Here is a preview of our favorite creations: The first one is Mike Wizowski and his look-a-like egg Mike Wizowski. Pretty good, huh? This egg-cellent work was done by Aunt Sue.
The next egg was thrown together at the last minute. Seriously, the local town judge was on his way over to judge the eggs. Tammy Jo followed her instincts and alas the cutest little piggy egg was born. Finally, Melissa (who is extremely artistic when it comes to coloring eggs) put together a wonderful egg tribute to finding Nemo. Claps all around to my creative and talented family!
