It's been some time since my last entry. In the interim Rebecca married Jarred (June 21, 2009), Eli returned home from Korea (June 2009), Jessica and Pete moved in to live together and right up there with all of that Wrigley Field Schwimmer (August 2008), our Boston Terrier, joined our family. The house for now is for our 2 cats, 2 dogs and 2 very proud parents. Our kids are now children dressed up as adults - well prepared to blaze their own trail and hopefully care about others welfare as well as they care about their own. Winter 09 is about to set in and with will come Thanksgiving, and all the other holidays that follow. Hopefully, the house will be filled with love and warmth - especially if the furnace works, the water heater heats and the vinyl windows keep the cold air at bay.
