Here’s the complete photo album from our trip! Last Thursday (the 8th), right after work, Jenelle and I headed northwest to make a surprise visit to Andrew, Holly, and family. Well, it wasn’t a complete surprise — Andrew & Holly knew we were coming. 🙂 We arrived after midnight, after the kids were already asleep, […]

Totally Blissful Years
The weather has been amazing over the past few weeks, so it hasn’t been conducive to blogging. Â So, here’s my first attempt to get caught up. We started dating on March 26, 2000, and got married on March 29, 2003. Â So, we had lots of reasons to celebrate the last weekend in March. Â For whatever […]
Amazing Cakes
Here’s another work of art from Jenelle’s bakery. She used homemade fondant to prepare this cake for a friend’s baby shower on Friday. I had some of the leftover cake scraps — yum. 🙂
Time at Toppers
A new Toppers Pizza franchise opened in Kenosha at 10 a.m. this morning, which is a bit surprising considering how many pizza places there are in town. Anyway, the first 50 customers in line got “free food for a year” in the form of 52 dated coupons for a large pizza or similarly-priced item. I […]
Time to re-decorate
Since I’ve been using the same old Blogger theme for quite a while, I decided to give the whole site a new look. Let me know what you think… and don’t be surprised if I change it again soon!
Pupcakes!
Here’s another of Jenelle’s amazing baked creations. This is what you get when you combine chocolate cupcakes, chocolate frosting, grape jelly beans, a marshmallow, melted chocolate, flattened tootsie rolls (for the ears) and a candy starburst (for the tongue!):
Meet at Marty’s Pizza
Back on January 26, Jenelle and I ventured northwest to Marty’s Pizza in Delafield, WI. The occasion was a fun family gathering. Gail, Mike, and Laura drove in from Lodi, and several other family members came from Racine. I don’t eat at Marty’s very often, but their food is quite tasty, so it was quite […]
Christmas in Oregon
Here’s the photo album! We left Wisconsin VERY EARLY on Christmas Day. Our original itinerary had us going from Milwaukee to Minneapolis to Seattle to Portland, but a very nice gate agent in Minneapolis got us on a flight straight to Portland. So, we arrived with plenty of time to relax and hang out with […]
Christmas Eve with the Comande Family
My mom’s parents always throw a great party on Christmas Eve. After a wonderful meal, we all gathered in their living room to open presents and celebrate another exciting year. We gave Grandma & Grandpa our usual gift — a “coupon book” full of things that we’ll do for them throughout the year, including taking […]
