The last couple of days have been wonderful! The weather has been AWESOME (in the 70s) and we have really enjoyed going outside, relaxing and enjoying our time with family. We could definitely handle this kind of weather all year round! 🙂 The kids went for walks all over, fed horses, and they did some […]
This morning we got up early and headed out! We were excited to get to Texas and get our driving over with. What the kids didn’t realize is that once we got into Texas, we still had about a 5 hour drive to get to where we were going! 🙂 We crossed the state line
This morning we left very early and started our drive to Texas! We are going down to Harker Heights to visit Jeremy and D’Neill and their family (Angela’s Brother). It’s about a 17 hour drive down, but we decided to make some stops along the way and have some fun! Our first stop was in
Merry Christmas, everyone! This morning we got up early, got dressed for church, and then all went down to see what Santa had brought! It is always fun to see the excitement on the kid’s faces on Christmas morning. They love to be happy and we love it when they’re happy! I think the kids
As always, tonight we had a GREAT Christmas Eve! As in years past, we had a great dinner, caroling, and nativity! We got together with 3 other couples and their families for dinner and had a wonderful spread! By the time we finished eating, we weren’t sure if we could walk out to the cars

Today Kirstyn and her school class went to see The Christmas Carol at the Goodman Theater in downtown Chicago. I was fortunate enough to be a chaperone with her. We had a great time and really enjoyed the production. It was pretty funny. Afterward, the girls all wrote thank you notes to me to tell
Tonight, Kirstyn and I went to the second night of the Collage Concert at Metea. Again, all the groups sounded outstanding and did a GREAT job! It was a little more relaxing because Kirstyn and I didn’t have to worry about the boys making noise. 🙂 The Severn family in our ward sat by us.
Tonight I had a meeting at the district office with a group of administrators, teachers, and parents to talk about the end-user device technology strategy in district. This is an extension of the technology strategy committee I was on. It was a very interesting discussion and I am very curious to see not as much
Tonight, Kirstyn had her Still Middle School honors concert with all the top performing groups. She played her clarinet wonderfully well. She wishes she was also in the Honors Chorus, but that’s OK. She’s doing a great job with band, and if she was in Honors Chorus too, she would be going to school early
