Snow Day, Part 2

Make sure you read part one, which is just below this entry. Okay, so we’ve built a pretty nice snowman, and my father has taken the standard Isaacson family photographs. What now? The weather is still absolutely wonderful, so there’s no real rush to get inside. I almost forgot — we found two tree branches […]

Snow Day, Part 1

It was unseasonably mild on Saturday. After some errands and running a few miles outside in the morning, Jenelle and I ventured to my parents’ house for a big family meal. The occasion? My uncle Dan was in town from Ohio for the weekend. I think there were about 12 of us gathered. The food […]

That’s right, woodchuck-chuckers, it’s

GROUNDHOG DAY! Well, it WAS Groundhog Day two days ago. Jenelle and I snuggled up and watched the Groundhog Day Special Edition DVD once again. Did you know that the movie was filmed in Woodstock, Illinois, which is less than two hours away from where we live? Every year, they have their own Groundhog Day […]

Jenelle here… I’ve realized I’m not as good at this blogging thing as I should be. It’s been a pretty long time since I’ve left a message. I think that’s because I’ve been busier at work than I have probably ever been. TGIAF — Thank Goodness it’s Almost Friday!

Let’s Do Something Fun!

Two birthdays on Tuesday the 25th: Happy Birthday, Katie! Happy Birthday, Brian! (Jenelle’s other brother) I’m thrilled that the weekend is here. It’s not that I don’t enjoy my job and everything else that I do during the week, but there’s a reason that God rested for a day. This week was a bit draining […]

Blizzard Weekend, Days 2-3

Before I recap today and yesterday, some announcements: Happy Birthday, Holly! Happy Birthday, Jeff! (Jenelle’s brother) We completed a LOT of “catch-up” tasks yesterday while the weather outside was frightful. We did four loads of laundry, and Jenelle cleaned at least four rooms in the condo. REALLY cleaned ’em. I was quite impressed. I caught […]

Blizzard Weekend, Day 1

We left work around 6:30 yesterday. Jenelle managed to reach a record 4.75 miles on the EFX machine (yay sweetie!) while I was busy fixing up an “urgent” computer program issue. Yes, Mom, they had me fix it because I’m the best SCJ employee. 🙂 Anyway, the snow was just beginning to fall, and the […]

Good News and Bad News…

The good news: It is finally warm enough to snow. The bad news: It is snowing.

It Keeps You Runnin’

Jenelle and I both visited the SCJ fitness center this evening. I was suprised at how busy it was there — nearly every treadmill and cardio machine was occupied from the time we arrived until the time we left. Of course, I shouldn’t be surprised. Monday tends to be the busiest day of the week […]

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow…

As Jenelle’s mom already pointed out in the comments in an earlier entry, the current BenCam picture is of me in the SC Johnson Employee & Children’s Chorus, performing every year on Profit Sharing Day. We went sledding last weekend. I brought my camera. Here’s the photo album: Sledding at Johnson Park Update (Sunday @ […]
