Update:  Third Quarter 2010
Summer finds Anika in all sorts of odd positions!

We traveled east to visit colleges.  
   
       
      
Between New Jersey and Connecticut 
we stopped off for dinner in New York, mostly to show Anika the Statue of 
Liberty, since she had been complaining about being the only American to have 
seen the Eiffel Tower, the Coliseum, the pyramids, and Angkor Wat, but not have 
seen our own Statue of Liberty!
   
      
   
       
   
       
   
      
Then we stopped off to visit my aunt and uncle and their daughters in New 
Hampshire.  
   
       
      
   
       
      
   
       
   
      
Then on the way home we made our fuel stop at Niagara Falls.  
   
      
   
      
Tasha trained all summer.  She took up running, and was out virtually every 
day often for hours!  She had hoped to run in the Chicago Marathon, but 
then chose the Oak Brook Half Marathon instead.  She is in her senior year, with lots 
of activities, lots of college applications coming due, lots of ultimate tournaments, 
and of course lots of homework - 
so this was probably a wise decision!  
   
       
   
       
   
       
 
Tasha also made the Chicago Micromachines - a mixed ultimate youth team, which 
played in the National Ultimate championships in Minneapolis.  They took 
5th, which is pretty good since they were seeded last!  
   
      
Anika and her friends particpate in a hawk release through the Willowbrook 
Wildlife Center.  
   
       They also released several song 
birds.

Then Tasha had her 17th birthday, which we celebrated with a quick scavenger 
hunt and a play.  
   
       
       
Yannis got older too.  
   
      
See what we were up to in the fall.
