Lucky Number Seven

Clara celebrated her 7th birthday in style, with a "Pump It Up" party for all her friends. The kids were exhausted after all that climbing, bouncing, sliding, running, not to mention the adults who got into the action (see Sharon on the rock wall). Thankfully the pizza and cake helped us regain our strength.

We also went to a Cubs game, a nice win over the Padres on a nice spring day. Grandpa Porter, Uncle Bob and Aunt Anne came for an overnight visit and treated us to the game. Adrian has been singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" on a daily basis ever since.

Summer plans are taking shape, starting with Sharon and the kids co-hosting "Camp Sherlindy" with several of our friends. (The moms take turns hosting the kids for a few hours each weekday.) We'll also go camping, hit the beach, sailing, street fairs, all that fun Chicago stuff. The kids are counting down the days, nine more until school is out!
