Labor day weekend is also the wedding anniversaries of Lisa, Laura, and Doris (or pretty close to it).
The sangria and tequila were flowing pretty steadily and a good time was had by all.

Catholic Education
Living proof that the children that attend Catholic schools are inadequately prepared in the subject of birth control.
These 22 children are most of the offspring of our friends (there are 3 more due within the next few months). Of the eventual 25 or so children, there are 4 pairs of twins. On a side note, every couple (soon to be 4) that has had twins stopped having any additional children after their arrival.
Go figure. :-)

Battle of the Bulge
Fighting the mid-body bulge requires constant vigilence.
Sacrifices must be made.
You'll notice that I went to the extreme by drinking a light beer --- and a domestic to boot!
That's dedication!
It's a Tough Life
Lisa is living a tough life on Glen Lake in Northern Michigan. Everybody seemed to pack their sea legs (not to mention triscuits and peanut butter) and plenty of fun was had by all.

Activity Schedule: Friday July 27th
More golf today (big surprise). Lisa crashed the Tim and Jack early tee-time and made it a threesome. Some low goal setting enabled her to justify buying a new golf outfit...like she needed justification.
Quality time at the pool (sunny and warm today) and the kids hit the climbing wall - the adults stayed on the ground where they belong.

The Byers Farm
Meredith and Dan tried out some new farmhands this weekend.
Everybody survived...including the cows.
Moo!
Springfield
Jingle got all gussied up to bid us farewell. By the way, when we returned three days later he was clean but still wet.
Woof!
Weekend Update
The Janezic clan is back from a whilrwind "vacation".
After a quick trip to Springfield - which included the old capitol, the new capitol, the Lincoln museum, and apparently a visit to the department of corrections (more on this at a later date) - and western Illinois to the Byers farm, we're busy preparing for our next trip. Truth be told, I've been spending all of my free time reading the latest Harry Potter novel.
I'll edit the pictures and video from our vacation and post them as soon as time permits. Until then...

8th Birthday Party
John and Jacob turn eight! Very Late!
The bowling party with friends came almost a month after the real birthday- but fun was had by all. Most of all Jack who subbed in and bowled as "Trevor".

Camp Edwards
The boys were busy asking about next year's session before we finished checking out after this year's mini-session. For the first time in their 8 years (at least since coming home from the hospital), the boys were slept apart. They both survived and Lisa managed to get by as well. Next year... 7 days!
Chicago Fireworks 2007
The Stars & Stripes were formed high in the sky this year. The show is impressive from the ground, but watching from the 34th floor has its upside.... no neck pain!
Enjoy the show.

Inching our way to the finish. Northwinds Flooring installed our backsplash tile and it looks GREAT!

Fallen Soldier
There's a reason today is an important day. Unlike most war memorials that stand as testament to the men and women who gave their lives for our country, we stumbled across a living memorial. Every day more men and women lose their lives in Iraq and those at home take the time to remember their sacrifice. We took some time out of our day to do the same. For those fallen soldiers and their families at home we pray. God bless them. God bless our country.

Marimbas!
We spent the afternoon wandering around Millenium Park and Buckingham fountain. After dinner at the Park Grill, music was provided by the NU percussion ensemble.
Overall a great day down by the lake. :-)

Art Show
Hundred, maybe thousands, flocked to the Lakeside Center to view the works of D-47 students. Among the pieces on display was one by John - Dragon Guards the Castle. This piece is also being submitted for a judged event in Springfield...we'll keep you updated.
