Bird's the word!

It has been such a busy two weeks, with the next two promising to be equally busy! The blogging has suffered, and I'm sorry!

Just a quick, random update...

I work in downtown Champaign, and one who works in an urban area expects to see certain animals... pigeons, a few other birds, squirrels, and maybe even a racoon. You don't usually see Canada geese hanging around! But this spring a few geese have made their home in downtown Champaign, and it has been pretty funny to watch.

Take me out to the ball game!

Another day at the ball park, supporting the Parkland Cobras women's softball team. My little sister rocked it today, and the team won both games.






There was a pond near the ball park and some kids at the game found a turtle. A brand new baby turtle! He was the itty-bitty-est turtle I have ever seen!
