At last...

After being put to shame by our German/American friends who updated their blog before we did, we felt all the more pressure to update ours, get some photos up, and share some info. on how things are going for us in Chi-town. William is home this week after a stint in Florida. He may head back out, but, in the meantime, I will enjoy his company and put him to work in the house. I am back to work as well and taking more metalsmithing classes again. We won't have a spare room for any guests. I am going to turn into a studio with torches, hammers, saws, etc. :) Summer in our new home is off to a great start. The weather has been great and we have been exploring our new neighborhood on the weekends. We have also discovered that we are only a stone's throw from the lake where we can watch the boats sail in and out of the marina. However, as temps have been reaching 35+ degrees (90 degrees Farenheit for you Americans), we have been enjoying the joys of air conditioning and rentals from Blockbuster. :)
