Today was a great day! It was very hot and muggy, but we had a great time going to the memorial day parade in Aurora and watching the girls march! It was kind-of weird, however, as it was just Angela, the boys, and I watching. What a small group! 🙂 The girls did a GREAT […]
Today we had dinner with some friends and did some long overdue catching up. We had a great time. A highlight of our night (not a good one, by the way) was when Ben disappeared and we couldn’t find him. We thought he was playing with Zach in the basement. Turns out, he went up
Tonight Sarah and Brittany attended their Metea Music Award Night at the high school.

Today was part 2 of the District 204 Fine Arts Festival. Kirstyn sang and played in the band, and Zachary had an art project that was displayed… Zach’s project was a cute little teapot that he made out of clay stuff. It was really cute and he was so excited to show it to us.
Well, I’m back from a GREAT week at Microsoft TechEd 2011. I had a great time and learned a ton! I know, what a way to talk about a conference of geekdom! 🙂 I stayed in the Ritz Carlton in Atlanta and it was a wonderful hotel. The staff was great and I slept pretty
Tonight, Sarah had her final band concert of the year at Metea, and she performed wonderfully as well. Unfortunately, I missed this one as well due to the TechEd conference in Atalanta. I was bummed about that one as well. Angela got a couple of pictures, but they were really blurry due to the boys
Tonight Brittany had her final Metea Orchestra concert of the year and it was awesome! Unfortunately, I wasn’t there to hear it as I am at TechEd right now, but I sure wanted to be there, and was bummed when I found out I would be missing it. They did a GREAT job! Angela didn’t
Today I left for the Microsoft TechEd 2011 conference and am now in Atlanta! I’m pretty excited to attend the keynotes and sessions, and to talk to the vendors about products that might be able to help us out. We’ll see how it goes! The place here for the conference is HUGE! I think I’m
Today was round 1 of the District 204 Fine Arts Festival at Metea for Sarah and Brittany. Next Saturday will be Kirstyn and Zach. Angela volunteered to work at concessions for most of the day with a break to watch the girls play… Brittany played first with the Metea Orchestras and the middle school orchestras
