This Father’s Day was special day that I got to spend with my boys doing boy stuff (with mom also). We went to the Badger’s Sport Park and played a round of mini-golf, got to drive go-carts, hit a few balls at the batting cages and play a few video games. We ended the fun […]

So tonight after we had take a bike ride to a nearby park we returned home and were getting ready for bed. This task now consist of many little half naked boys running around with their “man stuff” free as a bird. In that process they happen to find the toilet and deposit any remaining […]

So after traveling for work I returned home to find that our family had grown. George & Stuart both were able to pick out two new friends for the house and they selected two goldfish (one average and one with rather large eyes and swagger in his swim). The cute part was when I asked […]

So today we had our second successful “extraction” on the potty chair for Stuart. I believe his pure incentive and motivation for the process is the gratification he receives when he dumps his contribution to the big toilet. Although he is proving to be interested, able, and willing participant in the process now it has […]

Today we began a new chapter in Stuart’s world as he put on his first pair of big boy underwear. Although this is a big step for him, Sara and I find ourselves in a similar boat as before. We will be patient and get prepared with towels, wipes, and a ton of changes of […]

Well, Stuart got his first haircut tonight. Though not very thick yet, it was getting a bit long in the back and right down the middle.  He has a certificate to show for it too!  More & more we are reminded that he is not longer a baby…but a little boy.  Stuart often walks around […]

Well, our baby George turned 4 this week. I’m amazed on his ability to formulate & share thoughts (quite clearly). At his 4 yr old dr check up the Dr. said “Oh, he’s a big boy” and he has always been tall and talkative/expressive for his age. We realized he has reached the height & […]

Time flies.  It has been over a month since my last post, but as usual that means its been pretty busy.  Last I wrote I was applying to have the Asst. Director for Operations position permanently and I will be interviewing next week.  Matt has since also applied for his position, Asst. Director for Business […]

We had a great Christmas with the typical travels and characters but lots of love, hugs, great food & generous gifts.  We got to the Kratzke, Kleinhans & Suwalski extended family celebrations where we saw many family members, opened fun gifts and ate amazing amounts of food.  In addition we celebrated with our parents, siblings […]

Each morning George wakes up and asks “Is today Christmas?”….when we got snow a few weeks back he thought it was Christmas.  Matt has become quite familiar and skilled with our new snow blower.  Right now we have a good 8 – 10” on the ground.  The first couple of days with snow were tough […]
