Shawn and I just got back from our anniversary weekend in Alton, Illinois. Fun!!
I saw a lot of potential photo locations, although I tried to keep my mind off work (which was hard but worth it!)
Photo Album here.

Sunday after church we went to the Finn Inn, home of all things fried.


My dinner was called Fried Bullfish, but I think looked a lot like Khan's pet in "The Wrath of Khan"


We also went to Cahokia Mounds, which was really pretty and peaceful, although a bit creepy (as ancient burial mounds go).
Here Shawn and I are on top of the Cahokian Chief's mound (you can see the Arch from there!






Both grandparents got to watch Sydney while we were gone- the pictures are courtesy of Grandpa Ross:





She is six months old now- and we just started solid foods, reading books and baby sign language. She is also REALLY close to crawling. As in any minute. Currently she is on her turtle playmat (thanks Elizabeth Nohren!) pushing herself up into almost a sitting position. Woohoo!
