Here are some cute pictures of Clara from when Mom was here.

And here are some pictures from when we went to see the Cubs. They beat the Dodgers, which gave Katie and I mixed feelings.


And here are some pictures from the drive up to Wisconsin, which was much more enjoyable than the drive back.

Yes...I was actually there. There are just no pictures to prove it. There are also no pictures from our nights in the hot tub. This, surprisingly, is just a coincidence.

And, finally, a picture from our drive home, wherein the compressor for the a/c blew up. Our mechanics, Steve and German, say they have never seen the likes.
