Update on the Basement Remodel
This is the second room we carpeted, the one we will use as an exercise room.
Zoe does not appreciate when we move her kennel. The basement remodel has forced us to move it a few times. Finally, her kennel has a permanent home in our newly carpeted office.
Zoe enjoying the plush new carpet on the stairs to the basement.

Cubs vs. Brewers
Nate and I went to Milwaukee this weekend with our friends Jon and Rachael. We went to the Cubs vs. Brewers game at Miller Park. The park is so nice, but I suppose anything is nice compared to Wrigley. The park has a retractable roof, which I thought was pretty cool. There are even gift shops, bars, and restaurants inside the stadium. The Cubs won the game 6-3. I really think there were more Cubs fans at the game than Brewers fans. After the Cubs won, we witnessed a serious fight between a Cub fan and a Brewers fan. Both people were arrested. Right now, I am watching the Cubs play the Brewers again and it looks like the Cubs will win today's game too! We can't wait for the playoffs to start. It's gonna happen!
Today is Nate's birthday. Our trip to Milwaukee was part of our brithday celebration for him. Happy 31st Birthday, Nate!

Greek Festival
John selling food tickets and handing out menus. It is interesting how many pronunciations we heard for the word 'gyro'.
Taking a break from ticket selling and enjoying a gyro. So good!
I saw one of my students from last year, Selena.
Greek dancers performed throughout the day. The above picture is of a Chicago dance troupe. Below is the dance troupe from our parish.

4th of July Weekend
On Saturday we stayed around the house most of the day. We kept busy by printing and framing some of the pictures from our trip to Europe. While in Paris, we bought some artwork as souvenirs. We framed the paintings and put them up in our bedroom. Finally, we have some real artwork to decorate our bare walls!
On Sunday, June 6th we attended our third wedding of the summer. My godmother's sister got married in Olympia Fields, Illinois. It was another traditional Greek Orthodox wedding. Since we are also distant relatives of the bride's family, we saw many of our relatives and good friends at the wedding. The wedding was a lot of fun, I'm glad that we were back from Greece in time to attend!
James and Frangitsa, the happy couple
Cutting the cake...
We spent some time with my godmother, Calliope, and her huband, Kent, during the reception

Our Paris Adventure...
On Wednesday, we took a bus tour that stopped at all the major tourist spots in Paris. Our first stop was the Louvre. We could have easily spent an entire day at the Louvre, but we only spent a few hours.
The Louvre was extremely busy with people from all over the world. The biggest attraction was the Mona Lisa. There were so many people crowding around the painting, that we could not get very close. Below is the best picture we were able to get of the Mona Lisa.
After the Louvre, we went to Notre Dame. The cathedral was beautiful inside, but it was hard to get a good picture because it was so dark inside.
After Nortre Dame, we went to the Eiffel Tower. There was a huge wait to go to the top of the tower, and we really didn't feel like climbing ths stairs in the heat, so we admired the tower from the park below it. On our last night in Paris, Nick took us to a place where there was a great view of the Eiffel Tower. We saw the Eiffel Tower light show at midnight, it was amazing.
