Laughter is the best medicine...

Today, I experienced one the greatest "Daddy" moments- The laughter of an 8 week old.

Facts of Life...

In a time where we watch our stocks rise and fall like my Fantasy Football team and the economy is like Hayden's diapers, sticky and stinky, I was informed that my Grandfather will be turning 90 yrs young in December.
I would the love the opportunity to sit and discuss with him what it takes to make it to 90, but I am sure it has alot to do with him being a "Crota" and a "U-per". My Grandpa is from Croatia and has lived most of his life in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, working the Ore docks and playing Hockey. Although many of his Hockey injuries have caught up to him, when asked how he is he responds "Fit as a fiddle."
As I look across our family tree, the life expectancy runs long and strong through out. So as we fear a financial collapse or "hic-cup" in the economy one thing I look forward to what life will be like when I'm 90 or when the kidos are 90.

A Day Hangin' with Papa

Circle of a Small World

We finished this evening with a dinner and silent auction to celebrate the life of our good friend and colleague, J. Mark Bensen. The dinner was great but our experience was "crazy"- on the way to the clubhouse I was looking through my business card holder and found several of Bensen's cards, yet it gets better. I ran into an old High School friend, who I have not seen in 13 yrs. He also knew Bensen through various golf tournaments and outings.
It's amazing how small our world truly is.

What a Way to End the Weekend

It seems like it takes forever for the weekend to arrive and then it leaves in two blinks. After Michelle and the P's hanging together yesterday, today was my turn. WOW. Much props to my wife and all of the moms. P1 was a typical 3yr old, "Why, why, why?" and P2 had a day of dirty, stinky diapers. We ended the day with a walk and returned home to find mommy was home. HOORAY-

After dinner, I received an email which made everything trivial- Last Monday, I sent an email to my Heart Surgeon, who saved my life 4yrs ago. Each year I send him an email thanking him and informing him of the happenings over the previous year. Each year he responds with a motivational quote- this year was ever so amazing: "you're our champion!"

Hello Weekend

The Weekend is upon us. Mommy and Princesses attended a Birthday Party, Daddy worked kids out at the gym. Yet this is time we enjoy- at home bouncing between Va Tech, BC game & game 5 of ALDS while taking breaks from watching Hayden play, smile and goo gooing.

Thought 1:

Ever wonder why life takes us in the directions it does? Today is one of those days. Several weeks ago we received the bad news a colleague of ours passed away from a 5 month battle with ALL ( Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia). He was only 41 and had 3 children and his own business. The positive aspect is this Monday, we will be celebrating his life with a charity golf tourney and a silent auction. During his battle, he created a foundation to help find a cure for ALL and created this whole day while he lied in the hospital bed. Life is understanding and misunderstood at the same time.
