Fireworks

Elena and I went to see the fireworks at Nordic Fest last night. It was a really good show with many that I hadn't seen before. Olivia and Zach spent the evening with the Grandparents and I'm told did very well while they were going on.

We took everybody out to Cho-Sun for lunch today. It was a good meal except they ran out of many of the buffet items for my second trip so that was a bit disappointing.

Not as disappointing as watching the Cardinals again today. Getting swept by the Cubbies is not a confidence builder.


We saw Dana on Saturday in from California. She was in for the Fest and to see family and friends. Mark, she tells us, took the weekend to head to Tijuana. Crazy kids.

Zach is getting into the hand everything to somebody else phase when he is done with it. He also is deep into the phase that he isn't going to take pushing from his big sister. He just pushes her back or initiates it if she is getting to close. She is quick to point out the rules to him though. She'll shout out things like, "No pushing, Zach!" or "Move, Zachary!" Of course, she can stand in his way and shove him all she wants.
