Friends and Family,

Dad turns 70 this week. We had a fun celebration with him this weekend in Peoria. He is twice my age...now if I could only be half as wise. Love you, Dad.

Friends and Family,

Two thumbs up from John and Dot! Jordan and I had some cooking lessons this weekend and we invited "Grandma & Grandpa" for dinner. We tested the ice cream maker...The results were more shake like, but still yummy. It was a fun family dinner full of stories and laughter.

May you enjoy some stories and laughter this week.

Friends and Family,

Jeff, Lauren, Ethan and I headed off to Pittsburgh last week on a college visit. I was charmed by the city's bridges and night scape views. Enjoy the photos!

Painting a room, mulching a flower bed, laying tile...could this be fun? Jeff and I teamed up with some of our friends to help complete a home makeover. We were chipping in and having fun while helping some friends preparing for the arrival of their adopted son in a few months. Housework is much more enjoyable when done with friends! I was cleaning a light fixture in my photo (notice the nicely painted yellow wall in the background!). Jeff was painting a ceiling in his photo (notice the lovely pink shower cap on Jeff!).

Have a great week. May we all find some fun in the routine tasks!

Super Heroes to the rescue!

Jeff and I started our acting debut as a married couple today. We were cast as Water Woman and Pizza Man for the church's children ministry. It is a month long theme in which the kids learn that Heroes do the unexpected! Water woman is a sweet but "drippy" hero. Holy Pepperoni, Pizza Man is always in a hurry to make deliveries on time! We were laughing at ourselves as we took center stage. You will likely join us in laughter when you see this photo!

Enjoy! Jada
