Chicago Style

Wow, what a great time we had in Chicago. We took a mini vacation down to the windy city while Salix was competing in the Chicago Style Invitational. It is the largest women's gymnastic meet in the world. Roughly 3,500 gymnasts participated in the event. Salix wasn't feeling as good as normal - still feeling the effects of strep throat - so she was a bit of her game. She still tried very hard and impressed us with her tenacity. Salix was in love with the American Girl store~! This event was like Christmas all over again for the store. Thousands of girls staying the weekend on Michigan Avenue = $$$$ to the American Girl store. We were one of the lucky families and escaped with only purchasing a flapper outfit.

Occasional info from me

I really like this song. I'm sure I'll regret this at some point...Forever cached in some google server. Ben Kweller Sundress I won't get into why I like it so much here, but something that puts me in a better mood around birthday time = good.

Tilia eating sweet potatoes

Just a "taste" of a weekend at this Iverson house. It hasn't even tried to approach zero degrees outside so I thought I'd spend some time updating our scrapbook. Enjoy!? -0 obviously I haven't fixed the keyboard, yet.

I love... carpet. Tilia also loves carpet. I far as I know she hasn't yet stabbed a man with a trident.
