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!

    Another great weekend!

    Monday, July 27th, 2009

    Well we had another great weekend! This time we were in Door County with Lee and Sue. What a beautiful place to be! We were so lucky to get to stay at a great house that was owned by some wonderful people that Lee and Sue go to church with. The girls even got to go up there Thursday morning with Grandma and Grandpa. Lee and Sue were very brave! Thanks again for that you guys!

    We got to do some traditional Door County things and eat lots of food while we were up there for our short trip. Some of those things included: climbing a big tower in Penisula State Park to see the most beautiful view of the entire area; going to Wilson’s for some yummy lunch and ice cream, going shopping at a bunch of little gift shops, going to a traditional fish boil, out to breakfastat Al Johnson’s with the goats on the roof, and grabbing a bunch of candy at the confectionary. It was a blast! Gizmo had a great time with Auntie Allison and Uncle Donnie at their house in Elgin while we were away. Allison doesn’t know if Gizmo ever sleeps :)

    Now its back to reality once again. August is sure to busy a very busy month! First baby Jake is going to arrive on or before 8/4. Jill is being induced on 8/4 if he isn’t here by then. We have birthdays galore with my Mom, Jessy, Nathan, Ben, Me, my Dad, Uncle Mike, Ella, and anyone else that I may have missed. We also have Drew’s wedding, the Daughtry concert, Ben and Jessy and Makayla’s visit, and Ella’s birthday party (which we haven’t really planned yet).  All of this while Matt has one of the busiest months ever at work!!! Its sure to be crazy!

    Stay Tuned!

    One more day…

    Who can work from home with Kiley :)

    Who can work from home with Kiley :)

    So, we only have one more day at work until the holiday weekend. I had to work from home today because we didn’t have a sitter for Kiley and she was really good. I only had to apologize on one call this morning with a client so I consider it a good day. Who can get any work done with this beautiful baby at home!?!

    Ella has gotten to spend some quality time with grandma marsha this week. They went swimming today at an indoor pool near her house today. We can’t wait to see her tomorrow night and party!

    During the work day, I got into an interesting conversation about Albert Pujols. He hit 2 home runs last night and deserves tons of credit for the first player in mlb history to hit 30 home runs in their first 9 seasons. So, I posted on twitter this update and it started conversation about steriods on facebook. You know, I get that he came up through the minors when people were using steroids. He is the one guy that I don’t suspect. But with the media today, everything is under scrutiny. You have to wonder about some guys out there in the majors but I feel Pujols is different. He has raw talent and has produced since day one. I might eat my words one day but I believe he is one of the players that didn’t take ‘roids. Go Cardinals!

    The 4th is coming up soon and we realized we didn’t tell anyone that we will BBQ at our house on Saturday. Last years party was a blast so for those of you that would like to come out, please do so! I don’t think we will have the slip n slide but bags, beer and brats will be on tap! Hope to see you on Saturday!

    Friday!

    Friday, June 26th, 2009

    It’s time to head back to work but atleast it’s Friday. We were at the office until about 11PM prepping a site for a presentation today. Drew flew out to Canton this morning and hopefully things will go well. I work with some really great guys that are very willing to see sites through to the end. Makes the job a bit easier when you have the staff like I do.

    As for yesterday, two celebrities passed – Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. I was sort of following the news on MJ and CNN wouldn’t report it official until others reported it. They both were really young. You just never know…

    Here is a video of MJ’s that I loved – Thriller. This one is also great as well – Rock with You.

    Off to work I go!
