Late Fall / Early Winter 2009

Thanksgiving / Christmas!

We have had a real good Thanksgiving and Christmas season.  All the families were together, everyone got along, it was great. 

I got a chance to take Greta to a Daddy / daughter camping trip this season too.  We had a blast.  It's nice to spend some one-on-one time with your kids.  This was the first overnight trip though.  We got to play Frisbee Golf, do some archery, and we even played Uno with about 10 other dads and daughters.  We don't have a picture of it, but we do have great memories.  This time we're only posting 130 pictures.  I swear, now that there's no film, it's too easy to have lots of good pictures.  Enjoy...

Late Summer / Early Fall 2009

RV!

Have you ever seen the Robin Williams movie "RV"?  It's about a family that goes across country in a rented RV.  We took a page out of that book when we rented one to go to Erin's wedding in October.  It was OUTSTANDING!

Erin's Wedding was amazing too.  We got to see Jeff's parents house, and they even let us stay at their place.  We got to see cousin Pete and his family, and Cousin Billy and his family.  What a time we had.  And to top it off, when I returned from the trip, I was served with a subpoena!  Isn't that fun!  Oh well.  Enjoy the photos.

Summer 2009

The summer of LICE!

I know it's been a while since I updated the site, but I ran out of gas. I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! It wasn't my fault, I swear to god!

Things on the home front are still real good.  The kids are healthy and happy, no one's failing out of school yet, no one's pregnant, no one's wrecked the car.  I'm just lucky I guess.  There are literally hundreds of pictures this time, so go get a cup of coffee, take the phone off the hook, and enjoy.

Spring 2009

Hello Family.  It's been a while, and we've had some good family growth since we last met.  Greta won a science fair.  She got the blue ribbon.  (What's that?  They all got blue ribbons? Oh, well, don't tell anyone) Jack had a VERY exciting spring, as he's graduating to Kindergarten, and he learned to ride a bike!  It took him 30 seconds.  I gave him one push, and off he went.  Amazing.  Teresa continues to follow in Greta's footsteps.  She's wearing all her old clothes, she LOVES princesses, and is going to begin ballerina classes in the fall.  She's turning 4 this month!!!  Can you believe it?  Me neither.  Enjoy the ridiculous amount of pictures this month...

Fall/Winter 2008

How funny is it that my family and relatives are busting my chops about how long it's been since I updated the site.  It lets me know that I'm not the only one looking at these pictures.  We've got a lot this time.  We had a trip to Cancun, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and even Greta's first swim meet.  She's a Green Dolphin.  It was a lot of fun watching her with her friends cheering each other on.  I got to be a time keeper during the event.  Greta took second and third in her two races.  Pretty cool!  OK, Next time I talk to you it'll be Fall!  Just kidding.  Have another great summer.  Pictures

Summer 2008

Summer has come and gone already.  I know it's a common theme with me, and I'm not the first to say it, but life really flies.  As I write this we're getting ready for Halloween.  More birthdays, parties, BBQs, the works.  Greta's in 2nd grade, Jack and T are in preschool...Maggie planned an awesome vacation for us in sunny New Glarus Wisconsin.  It's been a lot of fun.  This project has become a lot harder lately, as the digital camera holds thousands of pictures, and I have to go thru them and pick the best, what?  Two Hundred?  It's ridiculous.  OK, see you soon.

Spring 2008

It's now July.  I'm updating the site for the first time since March.  I used to be quick about this.  Oh well.  At least it's getting done.  A lot has happened since we last met.  Greta has lost about 10 teeth, Teresa had a birthday, as did Greta (Greta 7, Teresa 3, Jack 4) and Jack is now a Mario Brother's expert (along with Super Heros).  The pictures here are from Mother's day, birthdays and our trip to Michigan to see Shelly and his family.

Have a great summer.

Winter 2008

March 2nd.  It's been almost four months since I've updated the site.  I apologize.  As the kids get older, the size of the issues get larger.  They take more time, the job gets more demanding, blah blah blah.  But we'll get by :)
Things around here are great.  Greta is starting to sound like an adult, Jack is trying to become a boy, but he's surrounded by girls.  Two sisters, two female cousins on Jesse's side, two female cousins on Maggie's side, and NO BOYS!  Poor little guy.  All he's got is me, Pup and Jess.  And Jess is busier than a one armed man in a coat hanging factory.  Teresa, she's a doozy.  Always either LAUGHING or crying.  It's a wonderful life.
