Snowy Night

Last night Chicago got about 5 inches of snow. It was so pretty. We finished putting up our Christmas tree. How quickly it goes from Fall to Winter here! Today I had my 29 week doctors appointment and all is going well.

Cubs Games

Made it to a few Cubs games this past season. Below are some pictures from when my brother, Walter, was in town in April.

Concerts

Tonight I discovered that there are a few things from earlier this year that I have not included in this blog. My next few posts will be about these events.

On a very cold February night (2/15/07) this past year we saw George Strait at the Sears Center Arena in Hoffman Estates, IL. We do not have any pictures from this concert but it was FANTASTIC!

Fellow country legend Ronnie Milsap served as a special guest and teen-aged singer Taylor Swift was the opening act. Ronnie Milsap and George Strait have so many number one hits. It was a really great show.

Below are pictures from the Willie Nelson concert.
Willie Nelson teamed with Merle Haggard and Ray Price for the "Last of the Breed Tour", March 25, 2007 in Rosemont, IL

Fall in Chicago and Thanksgiving in Texas

The trees on our street this fall were beautiful. So pretty that I had to have Brodie and Billy Dee pose for a picture. For Thanksgiving we went to Hughes Springs, TX (where Brodie's family is from/lives). We had a great time seeing everyone. Thanksgiving dinner was very big since there are so many grandchildren and great grandchildren. After dinner Brodie and I opened presents from his family for little Annabel. Dinner was at Brodie's cousin, Rocky's restaurant in Hughes Springs. We spent a few other nights there that week. On Saturday night they had a "hometown band" play. They were great and the restaurant had a pretty big crowd. It was nice to be back in Texas. We wish we could go more often. Billy Dee even enjoyed being in the country where he could take in all the scents and play with Panzer and Gretchen.
