Yeah.... for Spring Break

It's been a while since my last post, so I thought that I would just say HOORAY for spring break. Things have been very hectic not only at home, but also at my work and Jennifer's work. She is still trying to get caught up from a computer crash last year and I am getting stressed trying to put our musical together at school. Say a prayer for all of us that we can keep our sanity. We are going to try to do some family stuff this week, but Jen still has to work (which is why we couldn't come up to Chicago Jerry and Happi). Well, here is a picture to keep us in your thoughts. More to come soon.

Braggin' About My Wife

OK.... It's time for me to brag about my beautiful and talented wife. As some of you know, Jennifer and I are involved in our community theatre company, the Hawthorne Players. Jennifer uses her Bachelors Degree in Theatre Arts to Shine on our local stage. Last Novemeber, she was in a production of "Proof." Some of you may have seen the movie version with Gwenyth Paltrow. Which by the way does not compare to the stage production. Anyway.... Jennifer played the sister of the lead, Claire. If I say so myself, it was one of her best performaces. You can read the review here.

Every January, the Hawthorne Players have an awards banquet to pay tribut to the shows and performances of the previous year. Sort of an Community Theatre version of the "Tony" Awards. Jennifer was nominated for best supporting actrees for her role of Claire against three other people. Drumroll............ She won!! She has won before but this one was really well deserved. I am very proud of her as are many of our friends and family.

Have agreat day and keep a song in your heart.

A Day at the Zoo

Hello friends and family, since the weather was so nice today (69 degrees, sorry to Happi and Jerry in snow covered Chicago) we decided to take a trip to the St. Louis Zoo. This is one Christopher's favorite places to go. He especially likes seeing the Peguins and Puffins and riding the train. Here is a picture of Christopher and his friend Elijah at the Zoo. At school, these two are inseparable. So when Elijah's mom called to see if we wanted to go to the Zoo, of course he said YES! I hope everyone is doing well and keep checking back for more updates.

Quote of the Day

Sorry I haven't been keeping up. Nothing really exciting going on, but keep checking. Here is the quote of the day

" I have no pleasure in any man who despises music. It is no invention of ours: it is a gift of God. I place it next to theology. Satan hates music: he knows how it drives the evil spirit out of us."
Martin Luther



This is so true. Keep a song in your heart and the Devil won't be.
