Ben Turns the BIG 1!
Today was Ben’s big first birthday! We had a little family party for him and he loved digging into his cake and getting all messy! It’s hard to believe that our little guy is already 1!
Kirk Turns Big 40!
Ouch! That sounds really bad. The kids like to remind me of how old I am as well. Today (2/7), I hit the big 40 and Angela threw a small party for me. It was fun to get together with friends, some of which were coming up on the big day, and others who had recently past it.
Angela, Meet Edward (Hospital, not Cullen)!
Angela got to spend a wonderful New Year’s Eve in Edward Hospital in Naperville with a serious bacterial infection. On the 28th and 29th of December, after enduring horrid pain, she finally went to the doctor. The doctor then admitted her to the hospital where she spent 2 nights there on IV and fluids (30th and 31st). She came back home on January 1st feeling MUCH better!
The rest of us had to celebrate New Year’s Eve without our wonderful wife and mom. As she was resting and sleeping in the hostpital, we ate a bunch of junk food, watched movies, played games, and then celebrated the coming of 2009 together. Zach fell asleep and we had a hard time getting him up to go outside, yell, bang pans, and then have a sip of sparkling cider! 🙂
We’re glad to have her back, and hope that she doesn’t have to go through that again!
Angela’s Hand and the Power of Cheese
Angela cut her hand open the other day while slicing up a large cheese block! After an emergency room visit and 8 stitches (2 layers deep), she’s back home and back at it! She says she’s not going to cut up cheese anymore so I guess that’s Kirk’s job now! Ahhhh… the power of Cheese!
