The Culprit Identified

The Brewers fan behind the broom left at my car finally revealed herself.

It was our friend, Lis. Well played friend, well played.

A Reminder...

that we no longer live in "Cardinal Nation". Over the weekend, the Milwaukee Brewers were playing the Cardinals in St. Louis. As with any other time they play each other, it was the catalyst of some friendly banter back and forth amongst us and the Brewer fans at church. Unfortunately, the 3 game series did not prove to be friendly to the Cardinals, and the Brewers won all 3 games. Which is why on Tuesday morning when I (Jaime) left to go to work, I found this propped up against my car.
A close up view of the bottom portion of the broom. (Yes, those are tiny dead {thankfully, fake} cardinal birds).The person who left it there is still to be identified. The usual culprits have all claimed innocence thus far. We definitly got a good laugh out of this, but hopefully we'll be able to return it to it's rightful owner after the next 3 game series when the Cardinals are here in Milwaukee next week.

What's New?

So, it's been a bit since we've blogged...our apologies! Here's what's been new in our world since the last time we updated...

We made a quick trip down to St. Louis for the memorial service of a friend's Dad, and while we were there, we were able to celebrate Sarah's (Jaime's cousin) birthday first at Fast Eddie's, then with the family at The Old Spaghetti Factory.

On April 25th, we celebrated one year in our new house! And we toasted to only having 29 more years to go on our mortgage!

While we were celebrating one year in our new house, we were helping our friend Lis move into her new Condo. While Steve and Jaime's cousin Daniel worked on hanging up some new light fixtures, Jaime and Lis ran to the grocery store and ran into the Klement's Racing Sausages. Here's Lis with the Chorizo...

For Mother's Day weekend, Jaime's Mom, Aunt Laura and cousin Sarah came up to visit. We had lunch one day at the Friday's Front Row at Miller Park.

And we hit another milestone! After only 2 1/2 years, we were able to send off our final payment on our Dodge Caliber! It's (almost) officially ours! The check has cleared the bank--we're just waiting on the title to come in the mail!
