Today was baby girls 4th birthday and she was quite the little princess. This year she really was very excited about the day and was talking about it the weeks leading up to the day. We had a little gift for her in the morning when she woke up, and cake and another gift in […]

In recent weeks Max has really taken to roll playing as a teacher. If you watch him closely while he’s “teaching” you can really get a sense of what his day is probably like. While he normally tries to recruit is brother or sister to be his students (Sydney usually goes along with it, Andrew […]

A few weeks ago the kids received a surprise from the mail man. Left on the porch was a box of joy, from none other than Santa Aunt Shirley. It took us about a week to finally open the box (we knew we would need to set some serious time aside when they could indulge) […]

Sydney had her very first on-stage performance this week. Tuesday was her “Fall Program” at Kensington Schools in Wheaton. While all parents are certainly biased toward their own kids, I can say with confidence that she was the best singer, best performer and loudest person on stage bar none! I was so so proud of […]

This year more than any other year in the past I really liked all of the kids costumes, and they were all very excited about wearing them. We had a Princess (she was just dressed as herself), a cowboy and Iron Man. We were heading out to a Halloween party and before they trashed what […]

I’m Editing on-site in Chicago today, and tomorrow in Forrest Park. It’s always great coming to the city especially on a nice day. What is amazing to me is how much the edit system itself has changed over the years. Back in 2004, this is what my edit system looked like in Hong Kong. So […]
