I have no idea how this stuffed animal ended up on a hook in our garage.

A make up T-ball game due to weather earlier in the year.  They switched to coach pitch for this one and the kids loved it.

Our second Brewers game in as many days.  I love the hoisted Miller Lite in the lower part of the frame.  Goes with the setting.

We’re re-landscaping the front of the house and actually contracted an architect to do the design. These are the plans.

Their doing some work on the water in our neighborhood.

I’m back from my long weekend in Vegas and trying to get back into the swing of things. Me and the misses had a blast, but suspending reality for even a weekend takes its toll and work has been a difficult adjustment.

Nothing happened that needed to "stay in Vegas," but a few highlights for those who care:

• Midwest Airlines switched our outbound plane to their charter plane that they flight sports teams like the Brewers and Bucks on. This meant there were chairs that faced each other with tables in between and more leg room than most 1st class seats. Extending my legs, I could just barely touch the seat in front of me.
• At the recommendation of several people, we saw Cirque du Soleil’s "O" at the Bellagio.  We would highly recommend it.
• We are not huge, high-rolling gamblers, but made our fair share of wagers and probably came out close to even for the whole trip.  The Brewers sweep of the Giants over the weekend was very good to me.
• We had an amazing lunch our last day at Enoteca San Marco at the Venetian. My first trip to a Mario Batali restaurant, and it did not disappoint.

I’ve got a ton of photos to process and will be posting as soon as I get some time.
