Munich Part 2 – way overdue

I just discovered this previously unpublished note from my trip back from Munich on Sep 12. The end of the story was that my flight got canceled in Chicago and I had to fly through Minneapolis to get home much later than anticipated. I understand the business of flying planes and getting peopleContinue reading “Munich Part 2 – way overdue”

Party Week

We can no longer call a get together at our house a party after a neighborhood party last Sunday. Our neighbors hosted about 40-45 people at their house for a Halloween party and they pulled out all the stops. First, they probably have the nicest house in town, so there’s plenty of room for theContinue reading “Party Week”

Some Cute Quotes

A few weeks ago when I was in Munich I got addicted to the song "I’m Yours" by Jason Mraz. When I got home, I learned how to play it on guitar (it’s not hard) and started playing it for the girls. Amelia started singing the "I’m Yours" part, but she would say "Oh No"Continue reading “Some Cute Quotes”

Ally Louise Buhler

We’re excited to announce there’s a new niece in our family – Jess and Matt had a baby girl last night about 9:50pm. Allie Louise Buhler was born and was 8 lbs 1 oz and 20 inches long. She’s doing well by all accounts and Somer was there to call us with the goodContinue reading “Ally Louise Buhler”

We Bought Land

It’s been on my new year’s resolution list for the past two years and been on my personal list of things to do for 13 years, and it finally happened last month. You can read about the build-up at my entry called a Time Consuming Addiction. At the real estate auction, there were severalContinue reading “We Bought Land”

Early October Update (by Becky)

We have been pretty busy lately and I wanted to get some of our activities written down before I forget them. From Sept 7th – 12th Eric was in Munich. It sounds like he was pretty busy with work and didn’t see a whole lot but he got a little sight-seeing in. On Sept 22ndContinue reading “Early October Update (by Becky)”

The Annual End of the Twins Year Entry

I’d like to blame by entry dry spell on the Twins, and that would be half right. The new job and the fact the Twins have been in the hunt have kept me either furiously typing email or a little more glued to the TV than normal. I typically watch an inning here and thereContinue reading “The Annual End of the Twins Year Entry”

Katie Update

I haven’t done a lot of Katie updates lately – I feel like we’re getting to the point like so many others in their Christmas card listing where you just list off their activities. So I guess I’ll start there – Katie starts Senior Preschool on Sep 22 – she has about 17 kids inContinue reading “Katie Update”

Munich Trip Part 1 (maybe of 1)

I’m sitting in my hotel in Munich, Germany tonight (German time at least), trying to recover from a long day. It seems when you travel for business, the days are longer because first there’s 8 hours of work, 1-2 hours of traveling back and forth, then there’s 3-4 hours of supper, then there’s 3-4 hoursContinue reading “Munich Trip Part 1 (maybe of 1)”

Extreme – Saudades de Rock Review

On August 12, the greatest rock band in history (according to me) released their 5th studio album about 14 years after their last album released. Of course, I’m talking about the big Saudades de Rock release from Extreme. I made the trip to my local Best Buy on the day of the release and snatchedContinue reading “Extreme – Saudades de Rock Review”
