Date Night (Long Time Coming)!

Tonight we went to a surprise party for a friend of ours at the church.    We then went to 5 Guys, an OUTSTANDING burger and fry joint!  I would recommend it highly!  http://www.fiveguys.com/.  They just put a new location in just south of us and I had never been there before.  We will be going […]

Angela Fly Home and Art Speaks!

Today, Angela flew home and we are so excited to have her here with us!  We missed her so much!  Her flight went well, although she didn’t get bumped up to get more leg room.  🙁  Her flight from LA was a little delayed so she got back home a little late!  A sister from

Ever so quiet here in Illinois!  The kids are doing great and being pretty obedient!  I have been working from home since Monday and have had Ben with me.  He went over to play with one of his friends on Monday and this morning from 9-12 each day.  This was GREAT, especially today when I

Angela Japan – Day 3 and EEP!

Today, I took Kirstyn to her Engineering Program activities at Northern Illinois University (NIU) Naperville Campus.  She had a GREAT time building electronic boards and such!  For the rest of the day, we just relaxed, played games, watched movies, and did all the things that Mom would probably not let us do on a Saturday!

Angela Japan – Day 2 and No School!

Today the kids had no school as well so I was able to go to work again!  I’m saving the days for Christmas and for this summer when we’re going to be running around like crazy with mission returns, college drop-off, possible wedding, etc.  😐  Again, the kids did a great job getting along and

Angela Arrive in Japan and PTC!

Angela arrived in Japan safely and happy today!  She’s pretty worn out from the flight and is trying to make sure she sticks to the daytime/nighttime schedule over there so she can minimize the jet lag she’ll feel.  With a 15 hour difference and loss of time, it will be tough, but we know she’ll

Angela Leaves for Japan and PTC!

Today, I took Angela to the airport and she started on her LONG journey to Japan!  She is really excited to go, although not totally excited about the long trip.  She said she wouldn’t know what to do with herself traveling for 17+ hours with no children!  🙂  She flew to LA and then jumped

St. Raphael’s Coach Party

Tonight, I went and hung out with all the St. Raphael’s coaches for an evening of pizza, beer, and chat.  Every year, the football league has a coaches party to thank everyone who helped out during the season.  The pizza and wings were great, but unfortunately, they just assumed that everyone drank beer, so they

Trip to Napa and Driver’s Ed!

Today, Brittany started driver’s ed!  Yikes!  She’s really excited, but we are pretty nervous!  😐 We know she’ll do great, but the issue is that she tends to be a little more distracted in driving than Sarah is.  Her big issue is that she’s addicted to music and thinks that she has to have it
