Baby Laird

Here's our first pictures of our little one. The doctor said everything looks fine so far and it looks like its arm and leg buds are beginning to form.

Trip to Illinois

I went on a very quick trip with Brian to Illinois August 10-12; business for him, pleasure for me. I got to spend some time with Aunt Valerie, Brenda, and Baby Jamie at the mall in Schaumburg. It was a nice visit but like I said before, it was a very quick trip.

Shutters

On Saturday, we decided to do some touch ups to the shutters on the house since they were looking pretty faded.

Double Rainbow

It rained off and on on August 1 but in between, I got these pictures of a double rainbow. You cannot see the second one too well but it's there. Apparently, several of the neighbors caught a glimpse of the rainbow as they were taking pictures, too.
