It's Friday!

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy Good Friday and hope that you have a pleasant and safe holiday week-end.

Thanks for stopping by! I'll post more next week.

Our little girl is growing up...

I could hardly believe this picture myself when I first saw it and compared it to some of the others I had taken in the past. Looks like she is going to take after her father and be a big dog!

We had to change her collar this week because she finally out-grew her old one. It's amazing how fast she is growing. We are glad that she is healthy, happy and playful. I wish I had the energy that she does.


Kyle is on spring break this week, enjoying his time off and getting to sleep in a little later than he normally does. He and I went swimming last night at the YMCA and had a great time. I'm going to stay home with him tomorrow and work on his train room with him. He has decided to build a new 'N' scale layout and we are going to start working on it. He has been drawing designs for weeks now.

Kyle's First Band Concert!

Thursday night was one of those nights you can hardly wait for as a parent. I got to see my son play in his first band concert!!! As someone who grew up in band, it was something I have waited to see for a long time.

The band played very well considering it's their first year. Mr. Baker has done a great job working with them. It was a nice treat to get to hear the high school band as well as the other grades. I think it made an impression on Kyle as well to get to hear the high school band and know what he has to look forward to.

Congratulations Kyle! Dana and I are very proud of you!

What a difference a little time makes! Haven't updated the BLOG in a while and wanted to let everyone see how much Holly has grown. She is a happy, healthy boxer puppy who is SPOILED ROTTEN! Dana and I are already thinking we need to get a king sized bed.

Dana and I have both been really busy with work. It's nice to come home and have Holly wagging her little tail and jumping around when we get there. Last night she entertained us for about an hour chasing her little toys all over the living room and running around in cirlces. She's still not the most graceful dog in the world.

I have an Open House this Sunday at 527 Flanders in Brookville. Click here for information about the Open as well as directions. Stop out and see me.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been under the weather for the past 5 days and haven't had the energy to update my BLOG. I did want to post this picture of Kyle with his dream car. I like it as well, but can't see myself driving it to Krogers or the YMCA.

I haven't gotten to watch hardly any of the Olympics. Although I'm not much of a sports fan, I do enjoy the Winter Olympics. Dana, Kyle and I did watch the mens hockey team Sunday in their match against Sweden. Even though they didn't win, it was an exciting game. Both teams played extremely well. A few weeks prior we saw the womens hockey team play against Sweden. Again, it was a well played game, with Team USA winning that one.

My messy office and my Award!

As a Realtor, I'm lucky enough that I can work a lot from home when I need to, but to look at the mess that I call an office, it's a wonder I'm not looking for misplaced items all the time. Actually, it's been a lot worse than it looks now. I have been on a mission to get things organized and keep them organized. Just not enough hours in the day.

Above is the award I recieved for my 2005 sales. I did skip the awards banquet though and Dana and I had dinner at Applebees with her father. I'm having a tough time deciding if I should hang it up in my home office or at the Big Hill office? Decisions, decision....

Oh, I heard a good one last night from my wife - 'I would rather go hunting with Dick Cheney than driving with Ted Kennedy any day'. Enough said.

Here are the photos we took last Wednesday when Aunt Louise came to visit. We were able to see her a few times while she was visiting. We stayed up later than we should have Wednesday night talking and telling jokes. It was a blast! We were really glad she came down to see us.

It's already Wednesday, this week feels like it is slipping by really quickly.

Today alone I have had 5 different people stop by to gripe about the cold weather. It's Ohio, It's February, it's supposed to be cold. Get over it. Look, we had some unseasonably warm weather the past few weeks, just appreciate it. You can't do anything about it so get on with your lives.

My Aunt Louise is going to be staying with my parents for a short visit. She's coming in today and I can hardly wait to see her. My uncle Tony passed away in December and I haven't had a chance to see her since the services. She and Tony were the kind of relatives that you always looked forward to seeing and having a good time with. Of course, I'm kind of lucky that most all of my relatives are that way (am I lucky or what?). I'm glad Dana got to meet Tony last year and appreciate his sense of humor. He always had a joke or funny story, and I swear I never heard the same joke twice. He was a World War II veteren, and seemed to have an endless supply of stories about the war, good and bad. I will really miss him at family reunions, but will always have fond memories of him.

We are still fighting with Wayne Dalton to get our garage door either fixed properly or have it completely replaced. Stay tuned for further developments on that.

Another Monday, the week-ends seem to go by so fast. Spent time with Dana shopping for a new photo printer on Saturday. She got a new HP printer, although I don't remember the model number. Then we went to Barnes & Noble to get coffee and a book for me. We met her father for dinner at Applebees and went home to watch the movie 'The Great Escape' on PBS (one of my favorite movies). I have to confess, I skipped the Big Hill GMAC awards banquet (and I was getting an award!) but from what I have heard, Dana and I had a much better time.

On Sunday I had an open house in Brookville, which was pretty busy. My parents came over for dinner and stayed a while to visit. They hadn't seen Kyle (or Holly) in a few weeks. We had a good time. My dad is getting ready to teach his first financial planning class at his church and is pretty excited about it. He's spent a lot of time to put some great material together for it. It should be a success.

Been a while since I talked about music or my guitar(s). Since my posting a few months back, I have since added a new amplifier. Got a Line 6 amp, and it is really cool. Lots of built in effects (check out Kyle jamming on it with his Strat!). Oh, and I had to add another picture of my Les Paul. I should thank my wife Dana for getting me interested in playing again and getting me a Guitar Port a while back(You are the best Sweetie! I Love You!).

If you are like me, music is probably one of the most important things in your life. I misplaced my iPod mini yesterday, and thought I would go crazy until I got it back (I got it back just a little while ago, thanks Rick!). I honestly don't think I could go to the YMCA and work out if I didn't have it with me. It's also great to listen to at night when I'm working in my home office and don't want to wake Kyle or Dana up.

If you are in a local band and performing anywhere in the Eaton Ohio area in the next few weeks, let me know. Dana and I are always looking for new fun things to do.

Tuesday night and Kyle is helping Dana cook fish for dinner. We got some Talapia from Trader Joes and it was great. Dana made a fantastic chili sauce to put on it. Holly is right there in case something hits the floor.

Happy Monday everyone! Had a great week-end and took some new photos of Holly. She is growing by leaps and bounds. She is doing great, but still having some issues with house-breaking. The first picture shows her the night we got her, and the second picture was taken Saturday evening. What a difference!

Dana took Kyle and I to the Pizza King in Richmond Saturday night for dinner. It was great! I highly recommend it if you haven't been there. Good food and great service.

Been a while since I posted any new pictures of Holly, but here she is with her Grandma. She is even bigger than this now and just went this past Saturday for her first round of shots. She did really well.
Holly has been very active around the house and chasing the cats seems to be her favorite thing to do. We had great weather this week-end so she got out a few times with Dana and I to explore the yard. I saw a group of motorcycles out while I was doing an open house yesterday, did I envy them. Can hardly wait for spring to get here to take the bikes out.

Two of our lazy cats, waiting for Santa to come down the chimney and bring them something for Christmas. Above is Apple, and to the left is Tiger. They are actually worn out after playing with Holly after we brought her home. Are they in for a surprise when she starts growing!

Welcome the newest memeber of our family. This is Holly, and she's a boxer puppy that joined our family on December 21st. Our other puppy Lola passed away on December 15th due to a heart issue she had since birth. While we will miss her deeply, Holly has been a most welcome addition. She is eating well, but can't stand to be in her crate at night to sleep. We are working on that! So far her favorite place to sleep is under the Christmas tree.

Jamming with my new toy. 1960 Les Paul Standard re-issue that I got a few weeks back at Guitar Center in Cincinnati. If you've ever played a Les Paul, you know it's the best guitar ever made. Check out a Gibson or Epiphone guitar. Enough said.

Here's a few photos of our soon to be newest family member, Lola. She's a boxer puppy and will be joining our home in about 4 more weeks.
