today was the perfect sunday.
we made it to church. only 5 minutes late. and we stayed all 3 hours.
it was fathers day...again! we celebrated it last sunday by accident. oh, what a handsome dad matt is!
happy fathers to day all the boys in our family. happy fathers day dad. and larry. and ben. and chris. and mitch. and mark. and geoff. and todd. aaaand grandpa!
and, best of all, we had the most delightful picnic in porter park. the park was very busy. we definitely weren't the only ones who thought it would be a good idea to go there. people were doing all sorts of things in the park. you name it, someone was doing it. frisbee, golf, basketball, bocce ball, soccer, longboarding, guitar-ing, biking, making out, reading, sleeping, tennis, playing in the water park, barbecuing. talk about a great place to people watch.
this was chets first picnic. we think he liked it. lots of fun things to look at. we found a nice big tree to lay by. chet layed in the shade. matt and i chose to bask in the sun. i must say that i looooove summer. bring on the sunshine.
this is the trees view of chet. 
this is chets view of the tree.
we played a 'best of 15' racko tournament. matt won 9-6. racko was the first game we ever bought together. we bought it even before we got married. we have kept a running tally of who has won more games inside the lid of the racko box. matt is destroying me. i think thats why he likes the game so much.
my shoes.
i agreed to throw away some nasty old shoes that i loved in exchange for these new ones. for some reason i have a hard time throwing away clothes. i always think 'well, i miiiight wear it if...'. and then it just sits in my closet until i clean it out again. matt would kill for me to throw out some of my stuff, like my high school basketball sweatpants from 10th grade! they are super ugly. and have recently acquired some holes. so he might get his way.
