T-Minus 3 days until Vacation

Well, we leave in just under 3 days for our trip to DisneyWorld/Disney Cruise. Everyone is very excited, and ready to get going.

My goal is to post a little something at the end of each day. No promises - after all, I am on vacation :)

Just to give you regular visitors something to look at...

Old Glory Grows Up

This past Friday, Jennie performed as Betsy Ross in the annual 2nd grade production of 'Old Glory Grows Up'. Here are a couple of clips.

Memorial Day Weekend 2009

We kicked off the 2009 summer season with a pool party and Chris and Cindy's house on Saturday. A bunch of friends showed up as well.

Jennie's 2009 Dance Recital

Jennie had her dance recital this past Saturday. She performed three separate dances - ballet, jazz and tap. Here is a small video of her ballet 'Fly to Your Heart'.

Here are some pictures from the recital - sorry for the grainy shots, I was not using a flash.

Always smiling....

At church, an old friend of Jacob's stopped by. Danniel Pyle used to baby sit Jacob, and she was always special to him.

A bit of class and culture from my son.

It's Tuesday afternoon here in beautiful Brisbane Australia. Here are a few photos:

Hungry Jacks = Burger King
(this is mostly for Ann!)


This is what ordering Bacon and Eggs gets you in Australia. No I didn't eat all of the bacon, only two of the 7 slabs. It still was about 1000% of my yearly sodium intake!

Too....Many....GAMES!!!!!!

As a parent, I'm ashamed. As a gamer/developer/publisher...WooooHoooo!!!

BBQ with Friends

The weather was so nice, that we went to a BBQ this weekend at Steve and Teresa's and caught up with some old (ish) friends, Frank and Kim.
