One of these things is not like the other...

Can you spot the differences between the following two pictures?



If you said missing wheels, you were right! What about the next set?


Oh, you're so good at this game! Yep, missing Nav screen and stereo!

This is how we found Jeff's car on Saturday as we made our way from the Detroit Science Center. We figure it probably took the %&*^%$'s under 5 minutes to take off the wheels, smash the window and make off with the stereo/DVD player/Nav screen, oh, and Jeff's ipod. We spent the rest of the afternoon trying to find a Detroit City Cop, waiting for a tow truck, and hitching a ride back home. We spent the evening being angry at this miserable city that we have to call "home."

Let it be said that this was a VERY busy street that we were parked on! It was Saturday afternoon and there were tons of pedestrians, and we were in what the champions of reviving ol' D-Rot call the "New Center" right across from the Science Center, Wayne State, the African American Cultural Center, and the acclaimed DIA. Someone HAD TO HAVE witnessed this atrocity.

As a few days have passed, we're just glad that we were all safe and really, other than the ipod, it was just more of a HUGE inconvenience. We even missed the Dark Knight and dinner date we had planned with friends.

Oh, and if any of you are thinking, "didn't that happen to him before?" you are right! During Jeff's internship 4 years ago, he went outside to find his borrowed Cadillac up on blocks.

Detroit Zoo


The other morning when I checked the weather I saw that it was going to just top 70 degrees with sunny skies so we decided to take an impromptu trip to the zoo. It was the perfect day and no one complained about it being hot. Bekah's favorite thing was the butterfly house where the butterflies fly all around you. Michael liked the lions and really wanted to see the wolverine, since he's really into X-men, but the wolverine was asleep the whole time. Ally just liked being wheeled around in the stroller. We had a great time. Hopefully the weather will provide another chance for us to visit.

The Grand Finale

Bekah's last soccer game of the season



Spring soccer was busy and really fun. We had rain, sun, and Bekah scored a goal! Jeff and Bekah had a fun time playing soccer together and Ally and Michael kept me company on the sidelines all season. The kids won't be playing soccer this fall as the both want to try something different.
