Jail, yard work and Lollapalooza

I am posting this first and most unfortunate picture as a thank you to every one who so generously donated to the Muscular Dystrophy Association in order to bail me out of fake jail. Thanks to all of you, I met my goal of $1600 and then some, and in return they made me do this...



In other news, we currently have James Heller of the California family and 3 of his friends staying with us while they attend Lollapalooza. We love James, and honestly it hasn't been much trouble having them here as we literally don't see them. They are asleep when we leave in the mornings and gone until all hours of the night. I do regret not taking before pictures of the basement, though, because the after of four 19 year old boys and all their stuff from a cross country road trip exploding in there is really quite impressive. I can't figure how all of that plus the four of them was in their car. David is completely fascinated with the big boys and is always disappointed when they aren't home when it's time for him to go to bed.
Yesterday GG joined Kevin and David for soccer, lunch and yard work. GG did sustain a closed head injury when David accidentally whacked her with a rake, but she is expected to recover fully.


David got his chance to hang with the big boys today. After church, he and Kevin took the green line downtown and went to Lollapalooza. They spent some time at the Kidsapalooza area, which included kid appropriate bands and a chance to play drums (video to follow). They then attempted to meet up with James & co. David spotted one of James's friends but sadly fell asleep (on Kevin's shoulders with his head resting on Kevin's head...if only we had a picture of that) before the James got there.
