A Very Special Announcement

“Our house, is a very, very, very fine house.
With two cats in the yard,
Life used to be so hard,
Now everything is easy 'cause of you.

Come to me now, and rest your head for just five minutes,
Everything is done.
Such a cozy room, the windows are illuminated
By the evening sunshine through them,
Fiery gems for you, only for you…”

Our house is now for sale!

Yup we have decided to move... a big family decision so that we can be closer to family!
We are headed Southward towards Northwestern Arkansas or the Kansas City area.  As of right now we've packed up tons of stuff, gotten rid of even more (nothing like the thought of moving it to incite purging), and living in an almost empty shell so we can SELL THIS HOUSE!!  ;)  Know anybody who would want a great house! 

We'll keep you posted on our progress - wish us luck!!

Museum of Science and Industry Visit

On March 12th we headed to Chicago to spend the afternoon at the Museum of Science and Industry. That evening was a special Member Night for the newest exhibit, Science Storms. We checked out some of the exhibits we missed the first time we visited in December and still haven't seen everything!

The first exhibit we saw was "You, the Experience". We checked our pulse, saw what exercise can do for you, made a commercial and Wayne checked his brain.

Isabela seeing what her pulse was and how her blood flowed through her heart at her pulse rate.
