So, let's see... here are some pictures of the visit that we had with Grandma Muligano, and Aunt Clorinda while they were in town before they headed out to California for my cousin's wedding the beginning of August.
Four generations!
An evening of relaxation on the back porch.

Here are some pictures from a World War II re-enactment that was in Harvard. It was pretty neat, although very unrealistic.
This is the same tank that was in the movie "Saving Private Ryan".
Oops, the flash suppressor wasn't supposed to fly off. Fortunately it didn't hit anyone.
Don't you love how basic the old engines were?____________________________
No pictures for this one, but in mid-August I started taking some classes at Rock Valley College. The music instructors there are EXCELLENT! I am really enjoying it a lot.

Last weekend Justin Kelly was in town visiting from Texas. On Saturday we had a softball game, and an evening BBQ at Milky Way Park. It was a blast! The teams were made up of some of the older sons and fathers from our church. Most of the people had time prior to the day of the game to get together with friends and practice. This was especially good for me since I'm not used to playing with a 12" softball. The final score was 10 to 11 with the winning team scoring the last point in the bottom of the 9th. It was a close game the whole way through.
Justin, Joshua, Josiah, Joseph and I got there early to prepare the field. It was terrible when we showed up, but by the time we started the game it was really nice.____________________________
On Monday (Labor Day) Justin, Joshua, Ethan Webb, Luke VonHolten, Aaron Englund and I rode the train down into Chicago for a Cubs game at Wrigley Field!
Unfortunately Carlos Zambrano (the opening pitcher for the Cubs) wasn't feeling right, and let in four runs in the first inning, and one more run in the 2nd inning before getting pulled out. The final score was Pirates 5, Cubs 4.

Notice how all of us showed up to prepare the field, but Jonathan & Joseph are the only ones actually working? That was all part of the plan, as they were on the other team! :D
Nice pics Jonathan! ;)
You can always tell a die-hard Cubs fan when they start making excuses for why the Cubs lost! :>
What's their excuse the rest of the year (sorry, I couldn't resist!)?
Looks like you had a good time anyway!
Well, I'm still confused how a team this good can have as bad of a record as they do. It just doesn't make sence.
Oh well... but next year...
LOL! :-)
Another sign of a true Cubs fan--"next year". I think they were saying that back in May. :>
