The School Board has been extremely busy over the last few weeks. We have been busy trying to do the two things that a school board really gets involved in – hiring a superintendent and working on a referendum (for buildings in this case). We’re trying to add on to our Elementary building and ourContinue reading “Superintendent Saga”

Top Chef
On the last blog entry’s theme of TV shows, I’d be remiss if I didn’t talk about Becky’s favorite shows. She loves just about everything on Bravo. One time when I looked at Dish network channels, she said any package without Bravo would get vetoed by her. Her favorite shows of all are Top ChefContinue reading “Top Chef”
The Office
People ask me what shows I watch on TV once and a while, and the answer is pretty simple. There are really only two shows. During baseball season, I watch the Win Twins Win (Katie’s name for the Minnesota Twins). Due to the sudden interest in this household in all things Dora and Doodlebops, weContinue reading “The Office”
Memorial Weekend Recap
We set out on a quest over Memorial Weekend to get in as much family time as possible. Friday night we made the long ride back to Becky’s hometown and survived with minimal crying or complaining from our back seat drivers. We didn’t make it in time to figure out the sleeping arrangements, so IContinue reading “Memorial Weekend Recap”
T-Ball Time
In our town, there are two T-ball leagues that kids as young as 4 can participate in. One occurs during the day, but with our work schedule, that one won’t work for us. So we signed Katie up for the T-ball league in the evening, which is a Town league. That means we get toContinue reading “T-Ball Time”
Paying Some Bills
As I write each one of my blog entries, under the title there’s a selection for category, so I feel like I should fill that out each time even though I’m sure no one goes through my entries based on category. This categorization process seems to be the hardest part about writing a blog entry once IContinue reading “Paying Some Bills”
Geography Quiz
I like to fahion myself a geography expert (or nerd, as most people call it), so when the opportunity to take part in geography trivia on the cruise, I wasn’t going to miss it. The actual trivia session turned into a bit of a fiasco as it took over an hour to ask 12 questions. Continue reading “Geography Quiz”
10th Annual 500 Weekend
Last weekend I had my 10th annual 500 card weekend with my friends from college. Every year we get together at one of our houses to play cards, catch up and rip on each other for an entire weekend. It’s a good time, and this year was no exception. This year we got together atContinue reading “10th Annual 500 Weekend”
1 School Year Down, 18 to Go?
Today marked the last day of Junior Pre-school for the 4 year olds in town. Katie has made it through one grade! If she goes to college, that only leaves 18 more years of school. She’ll be in Senior Preschool next fall, so things will be getting pretty serious then. She really enjoyed theContinue reading “1 School Year Down, 18 to Go?”
Amelia’s Getting Chatty
I told a lot of people that my favorite time with Katie thus far was when she was between 18 months and 2 years when she was learning a new word every day, and every day we were surprised by whatever came out of her mouth. Amelia has just started to enter this phase now,Continue reading “Amelia’s Getting Chatty”
