Busy Busy

Well, we have done a lot in the past few weeks! Beth turned 30, Ella turned 5 and started kindergarten! We enjoyed ourselves at Dan and Sarah's wedding this past weekend as well! They are off to Aruba and we are jealous! We loved our honeymoon and would do it all over again!

Labor Day Weekend will bring us to St. Louis to visit the family and head to a Cardinals game! Hopefully they will start playing better ball leading up to our game! Check back soon for more updates!

    Catching up!

    Saturday, August 7th, 2010

    It’s been a busy few weeks! Since the Cardinals weekend, we have helped John and Jill move, attended Nathan’s 6th Birthday, worked my last week at Americaneagle.com and went to Jake’s 1st Birthday Party! We’ve posted a ton of new photos and videos on our Flickr account!

    Hopefully, everyone reading this caught that I worked my last week at Americaneagle.com. I recently received an offer from Digitas that I couldn’t pass up! I start on Monday, August 9th and it’s going to be a busy first week! The office is on Wacker and Michigan in Chicago. I’ll be taking the train in every day and can’t wait to join the team! I would just like to say thanks again to everyone at Americaneagle.com that I worked with! It was a pleasure working with everyone over the past 4 years!

    One last thing, we had a great day today celebrating Jake’s 1st Birthday! It was fun hanging out with family and friends! We have some really good photos on John’s camera (let’s just hope he gets them to me in a timely fashion)! Our favorite moment came when Jake and Connor were on the play mats together. Jake took Connor down (in a playful way) and then gave him kiss! Connor proceeded to kick him and knock him over. It was pretty cute to see them interact with each other! They are going to pick on each other all the time. I caught most of it on film so I’ve included that here as well.

    Check back soon for more updates! We have a busy few weeks coming up!

    Cardinals Weekend!

    Sunday, July 25th, 2010

    07/24/10 – Cardinals (5) vs. Cubs (6)

    This post is a little late but I wanted to still put it up! We had a great weekend in July when the Cardinals were in town playing the Cubs! On Saturday, July 24th, we threw our 2nd Annual Cubs/Cardinals viewing party at the Cubby Bear in Wrigleyville. We had a smaller crowd than last year but the new faces certainly made it a great time! The Cubs ended up winning the game but it didn’t matter we still had a great time! Tom, Austin, Keith, Chris and Amanda were all introduced to the family shot!

    Family Shot!

    Special thanks to the everyone who helped with watching the kids for us! Kiley was in Madison, WI with Grandpa Lee and Grandma Sue. Ella was at a Baby Shower with Grandma Marsha and Grandpa Mark. Connor was at home with Grandma Debbie!

    07/25/10 – Cardinals (4) vs. Cubs (3)

    The very same weekend a few of us from the Sports Department at Americaneagle.com headed to the Sunday Night game! We have seats in the left field bleachers first row! It was a great game with the Cardinals winning it in extra innings with a HR by Felipe Lopez! I was hoping to get on TV but didn’t seem to. I did catch a glimpse of us in highlight video on MLB.com for Pujols HR. You have to look close at the end of the clip in the upper left corner. There is a fan in a cardinals hat with his arms spread out talking crap to the guys he’s with! That would be me!!!

    Pujols HR!

    Mets on a hot streak!

    Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

    4/27/10 – Dodgers (5) @ Mets (10)

    I was on a business trip to meet with the NY Giants and got the opportunity to hit up a Mets game at Citi Field. The ballpark opened last year and is really nice. It was really windy and low 50’s/high 40’s temperature wise so we didn’t stay in our seats that long. Again, thanks go out to Brian/Kevin for the tickets! It seems since the Cardinals game when we saw the Mets win in 20 innings, that they are the hottest team in baseball. This game marked 6 in a row for them and now they are up to 9 or 10. I would so root for the Mets over the Yankees any day!!!

    Citi Field!
