I think I can definitely say that I have seen a truly amazing sight...thanks Bryce and Brady for taking the time to share your basement train and Lego creations with me! Talent, creativity, and artistic ability at their finest ;-) A spacy Lego creation is below...so cool!!

had to share this pic: I appear to be totally brave, fearlessly venturing out on the glass extension lookout atop the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower)--effortlessly enjoying the clear view high above Chicago, right?!? WRONG!! What this picture does NOT show are my first three unsuccessful attempts to step out on the overhang. Twice, I tried to step forward on it, but couldn't let go of the corner of the doorframe to actually step out; the third attempt had me turning backwards and trying to step out, but I still could not let go of the frame. With my heart pounding, pits sweating, Todd sighing in exasperation, and small children in line behind us giggling, I finally sat on the floor facing AWAY from the view and literally scooted out on the lookout while absolutely NOT looking down at all. Todd took the quick pic (I'm actually saying between clenched teeth, "Hurry up and take the picture!!!"), and I quickly scooted back in...boy, am I a brave gal!! hee-hee!! We made a Chicago trip over the long Veterans' Day weekend...my first trip there! Loved it (minus the heights)!

spending my extra hour from daylight savings attempting to catch up on my pictures...ha-ha--as if an hour would even come close to allowing me to accomplish this!! sooooo many to file, edit, print, etc. I still have summer vacation pics to go through...oh well, I'll take every extra second I can get ;-)

we were losing the sun very quickly ;-)

barf!! not the picture or Kyla, but the fact that she's a SENIOR!! From little beginnings come great things ;-) It's amazing that this little preemie who barely survived is this gorgeous, intelligent, bright young woman! Anyway, just beginning to take a few shots for her senior year...work in progress ;-)
