Kelsey's Senior Prom

It's Senior Prom Night, and Kelsey's friends gathered at our house in the early afternoon to get dressed and work on their hair and makeup.  We invited a friend-of-a-friend, Caitlin, to do the girls' hair and wow!  Our house turned into a mini hair salon/beauty parlor as up-dos were created, nails were painted, and makeup was applied.

The result was three gorgeous senior friends on their way to an unforgettable evening at the Hyatt Regency Chicago.

Science Track Presentation

For the past seven months, Erin's been spending every other Saturday at Brookfield Zoo, participating in the Youth Volunteer Corp.'s Science Track Project.  Erin picked a project to work on, and then recorded her observations, wrote a paper, put her findings in graph form, and assembled a 3-fold poster board on her findings.  Today was her big presentation, and I was so proud of how hard she worked, and how well she discussed her project with those who were there.
Congratulations Erin, on a job well done!

Welcome Micah!


I was SO excited to get a text from my brother at 2:36 this morning, saying he and Julia were on their way to the hospital!  Micah Andrew Hunter was born at 9:16 a.m. today.  He weighs 8lbs 4oz, and is 20 inches long.

I cannot wait to get my hands on this little guy!

Congratulations Caleb, Julia, and big sister Lydia!
