Legal update
For those of you who saw my post with my juror questionnaire, I did receive a follow up letter. Bum, bum, bum, bum (music in background) I was summoned to serve in a district court in downtown Chicago for a six week trial! You read that right folks-six weeks! Can you imagine leaving my little angels at 6:30 in the morning and getting home just in time to tuck them in bed for a month and a half? Not to mention leaving them with whatever poor neighbor I could spring them on one day at a time? Mom graciously flew out to my assistance on a one-way flight not knowing if I would be able to plead my own case to be dismissed from service. Heaven hears prayers: four days before I was to appear for the first day of the trial I was informed that the judge and trial lawyers granted my request to be dismissed due to unnecessary hardships that the duration would have on my family! Hallelujah (angelic choirs in unison)!!!! Dad came out too, but just stayed a few days. Mom spent a week of fun with us, which was better than a long nanny service. Thanks for always being willing to help!
Andrew is 2?!
How did this sweet little baby turn into a little boy so fast? He makes me melt! He is very seriously considering his birthday wish here!
Christmas
After evaluating our loot from Santa and having a yummy Christmas lunch, we drove to Milwaukee to visit some of the best friends that life has to offer. We love you and miss you! Did Santa really bring a dog for Andrew? No, this one is only for visiting.
After Thanksgiving Fun
The annual after-Thanksgiving-Downtown trip: Museum, ice skating, Macy's to see Santa. This year we added breakfast in the Walnut room to the agenda. It will find a permanent spot on the agenda from hence forth!
FYI: the girls asked for a wii, a dog, a ds, and scooters. Santa supplied scooters, grandma and grandpa s took care of the wii, the dog will have to wait, as far as a ds-never sounds good to me.
Sammi's big debut
Sammi simply decided one day that she could ride without training wheels. So, when Steve came home from work, he took off wheels three and four and away she went. She is so proud that she figured out how to ride her "two-wheeler" all by herself!
Sammi turns 5!
In November, Sammi turned 5! She is our little sunshine. She loves school, homework, riding her bike sans training wheels, barbies, her baby doll, webkinz, and apples. On birthdays, we let the birthday person pick where they would like to have their birthday dinner. Sammi chose.............McDonald's. We tried to talk her into somewhere nicer, but Mickey D's is her absolute favorite. Her item of choice? Chicken nuggets and french fries, of course. She is so predictable. We love you, Sissy!
