A Decade…

Where were you? We bet you can remember. Vividly. Bill was at work in Peoria; Angi was at home–the 11th day in their brand-new home–sitting on the floor of the living room watching CNN with two guys from Stanley Steemer, who had arrived to clean our furniture just moments after the first tower was hit; they watched in horror as the second tower was struck and as both towers fell.…

Here Comes Number Four!

It’s amazing to us that our son has finished his first year of elementary school and will be a first grader this fall, but even more astonishing? Our daughter is now FOUR! That means one more year of preschool, then it’s off to Kindgergarten for HER!!…

And Now, We Are Six!

We are also preparing our current house for the real estate market – YEP!…

Bridal & Wedding Shows – Bloomington-Normal, IL

So, we’ve decided to do a couple of shows this year. Cold turkey. Never done one before and only attended one in the past. And let me tell you: it’s A LOT of WORK! And trying to get it all ready–album layouts, selecting images for canvases/prints, determining how it’s all going to look before ordering it all and then hoping it will work once we get there to set up–dang!…
