Father's Day, and Other Stuff

First of all, wouldn't he make a great looking girl?  Thanks, Haley.  It was so nice of you to spare him the makeup.


On Friday, we were invited to Grandma Bertha's apartment building for a nice lunch.  We even got the private room.  The kids were impressed with the table clothes, salad bar, and napkin rings.  We made it through the lunch without breaking anything.  Andrew was glad he ordered chicken strips when one of them came looking like an alligator.  Sadly, he ate it and we won't be selling it on ebay.

We had our traditional breakfast in bed for daddy on Father's Day.  We made a feast of eggs, pancakes, turkey bacon, sausage, and watermelon.  Dad is enjoying his new sunglasses.

On our way to Grandma and Grandpa's, we drove through a major storm.  We looked to our east and saw a tornado forming, but luckily it was headed away from us.  We got some major flooding and hail, though.  And the Metra is destroyed.  Several buisnesses in the heights are gone, too.  You can see pics here and here and here

But we had fun on our new tandem bike.  And Ben took some pictures of our cul de sac, which turned into a pond.

We're all dried up now, though.  I'm sure some people are still bailing out water, but the roads are open now.  Grace is still afraid, and the boys are still excited about seeing their first tornado, luckily from a safe distance.
