Well I had two things that threw me into a “Packing Panic” as we prepare for our trip to Rome and our Transatlantic cruise. First, I did a “try on and see what fits” with my son, and besides just a few recently purchased dress shirts and a few t-shirts, very little fit him. His […]

The kids had a fun week of Halloween Celebrations starting with a school dance on the 23rd. The school’s “Fall Costume Dance” was fun for them. Savannah went as Paris Hilton complete with blond wig and purse with a stuffed Chihuahua. Sean went as a Bank Robber, in all black sweats and a ski mask. […]

Last Friday was a busy day as we had our parent teacher conferences with the middle school teachers and got the kids report cards. Sean had all A’s with a 4.05 GPA Gold Honor Roll. Savannah just missed Gold Honor Roll with a 3.9 GPA Silver Honor Roll. The teachers said that the 3.9 is […]

Since our first family cruise in 2005, an annual cruise together has been a tradition. This year we are lucky enough to be able to take another cruise vacation. Last year we took our first Trans-Atlantic cruise on the Celebrity Summit. We loved the elegance and relaxed pace of that voyage that included exotic destinations […]

Stormy is turning out to be a great dog. She is already house broken, getting along well with the older dog, and learing to be comfortable around all kinds of people. She is going on long walks every day, which tire her out, but she loves to stride right along SueEllen. She also likes to […]
Football Week 2

Yes! The Lions finally win! They broke their 20 game losing streak and beat the Washington Redskins by a score of 19 – 14. And you know what, they actually looked quite good doing it. They have been steadily improving each week. While I don’t think they will win a bunch of games or make […]
Sean’s Football Game
September 21, 2009 by Leave a Comment
Sean’s football team got their season off to a start this week. As I have probably mentioned, Sean is playing for a different city this year as the old city isn’t fielding a team this year. The past years playing, they maybe had 15 kids for a game, so Sean played both ways. His team […]
Stormy, Puppy #2, Going Really Well So Far
September 20, 2009 by 3 Comments
After finding out that Smokey died from Parvo, we expressed interest to the adoption agency in his sister. We wanted to wait about two weeks for several reasons. First, we wanted to make sure that she was healthy, because she had probably been exposed to the virus at the same time Smokey was, and we […]
Football Season Begins
September 15, 2009 by 1 Comment
It’s that time of the year again – football season! It’s the best time of the year for me. I really enjoy football on the weekends. For us, that typically means two things: Detroit Lions football and Sean’s football games. Now, we watch lots of NFL games on Sunday (and Monday) but it all revolves […]
Sad News, The Puppy Didn’t Make It
September 7, 2009 by 4 Comments
I just got off the phone with the adoption agency and the puppy didn’t make it. He just went down hill too quickly before they could get him to the doctor. So pray for Savannah, she’s a bit heart broken. The lady is going to take him for a necropsy tomorrow, thinking that he got […]
