cricket … cricket … things have been a little quiet around here lately.
Let me take a moment to bring you up to speed with what we have going on.
I’m taking some time away from the day job to finish a room we added in the basement and work on a formal playroom for the kids. We have started to potty train the two year old. The four year old continues to know more than her parents about everything. Just ask her, she’ll be happy to tell you. My son has a couple of football games left in the season and colleges are beginning to come out of the woodwork. My 13 year old daughter is owning middle school and discovering more and more about herself and others all the time.
We have definitely entered that harried stage of trying to pull it all together. Mostly though, my wife and I look at each other and shake our head and grin. In a few short weeks our family will be turned upside down yet again while we get to know the latest addition. We really can’t wait to meet her.
The current lot of them as they look today.

Sounds like your quite busy and the family is expanding. Good luck on everything

Holy cow Chuck!
You and your wife are pretty amazing to handle all of the busyness! We just have one 2 year old and he’s a handful by himself.
Best of luck to you!
You have a terrific crew there, Chuck! You must be very proud of them all. Good luck on the play room; those kinds of big overhauls are always a ton of fun.
