Well, it’s that time of year again and Zachary will be playing spring soccer. Angela signed me up to be the head-coach this season which stunned me when I got the notices! 🙂 Anyway, tonight, we had a meeting for all soccer coaches where they talked about the rules of the league. We then picked […]
Tonight, our ward’s young men and young women had an etiquette dinner, sponsored by the Priests Quorum (16-18 year olds). They did a GREAT job and put a LOT of effort into making the night very memorable. It consisted of quizzes on how to have good etiquette and how to act in specific dining and
Tonight Zachary and I went to Literacy night at Gombert Elementary. Unfortunately, Kirstyn was sick and couldn’t go, so we really missed her there. Zach LOVES reading and we think he has a photographic memory. The other day, he sat down at breakfast and looked at a placement of all the states with their capitols
Tonight I had a wonderful dinner and activity in downtown Chicago! At work, I am a member of the Customer Advisory Board for LogMeIn, a vendor we work with that provides us the ability to remote into people’s computers from anywhere. They had a dinner at Smith and Wollensky’s Steak and Chop House in downtown
Today we celebrated Ben’s birthday with a little party. He was very excited to have us sing to him and to open his present. He couldn’t do it fast enough! 🙂 He was so funny to watch! He would get a present, rifle through the bag, see what it was, get excited for about 5
Happy Birthday to Benjamin! Today he turned 2! My how time flies! It’s hard to believe that our little guy is growing up so fast! Brittany and Kirstyn made him a VERY cute cake (picture will be posted when I finally pull it off the camera) and we sang to him and he smiled and
Angela had a slight delay in getting home and didn’t walk through the front door of our home until about 3:00am! She was exhausted, but had a GREAT time! They left Wednesday afternoon and on Thursday, they shopped, went to the “Lion King” show, and had a blast, Friday, they went to Hoover Dam and
Today we worked hard to get the house clean because Angela was coming back home from her Vegas trip! While we were cleaning, Kirstyn went over to a nearby middle school and took the PA math test to see if she could advance two grades ahead in math next year instead of the one year
After a day of working at home and hoping Benjamin’s brain wouldn’t turn to mush watching TV while I worked, Sarah and I drove into downtown Chicago to go to the Chicago Auto Show! We had a lot of fun just hanging out, looking at all the new and concept cars, and enjoying each other’s
Today, Angela and 4 other friends left for a “girls vacation” and flew to Las Vegas for 3 days! They are staying with the parents of one of her friends and going to a show, check out the strip, go to Hoover Dam, attend the temple, do some shopping, and just relax! We’ll give a
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I wasn’t very creative this year but I did give Angela a dozen long-stemmed roses and some chocolate. She enjoyed them. We had a long but good day at church and then had a nice Valentine’s day dinner. What an interesting holiday that has no real explanation of where it came
Today was a VERY interesting day! A big storm hit us and we got about 8 inches of snow overnight. It was cold and blowing so it wasn’t very pleasant. To add to that, at about 4am, we woke up to the house shaking. For about 10-12 seconds, the bed shook and immediately we knew
