Here's an update

Greetings, It has been forever since we have been posting. Things have been a bit busy around here with my MBA term winding down and a bunch of in state travel. I am over half way done with my MBA and am excited for the upcoming winter break. I should be all done come this time next year.

Hailey is really growing and you'd be amazed at how well she is talking. We had some conferences with her school teacher (yeah I know crazy that a two year old has conferences) and as you would expect she is going great. She has come a long way in her potty training and I'm so excited to not have to change the diapers. Wiping for someone else will take some getting used to though.

Beth's job is in high gear and she has been working out a ton at LA Fitness. I got on the racquetball train playing against Gary and he has pretty much worked me every game. The exercise feels good though but man, that ball can be tough to hit sometimes.

We will be in the area for Thanksgiving and GR over Christmas so mark your calendars for some holiday madness.

Hailey & Lily in Des Moines

Last weekend we met our friends Sara, Taron and Lily in Des Moines for some fun and swimming. The girls really missed each other and loved playing together.

Potty Training

Potty training has been going really well. She maybe has 1 accident a day and is waking up dry on most mornings. Go Twins. BTW- that is marker on her hand not poo.

Gary's Birthday Party

Hailey decided to get all dressed up for Gary's birthday.

Halloween At Dance

Hailey has been going to dance class and for Halloween she dressed up as a princess.

Hey Everyone

I first of all want to apologize for not keeping our blog up to date. Ever since the move, i've been on the road every week, and we've been totally struggling to keep up on things. (Like I should actually be doing the dishes right now). With that said, I wanted to tell you about a couple of cool things.

This term marks my halfway point in the MBA program. I'll be so excited when this is over so I can return to being a dad and husband fulltime. (and yes Dave, marketing manager).

HP has been doing GREAT on the potty. She pretty much goes on the potty every time she has to go, but we need to work on nighttime next. We're so proud of her. It's funny, we give her m&m's and stickers each time she goes, but she doesn't put the sticker on her shirt, she lifts her shirt and puts it on her belly.

Beth has really rocked Eden Prairie kids and is a great counselor. She does this while making sure i have time to do homework and travel. I don't know how she does it.

My favorite band Phish is getting back together so hopefully I'll get tickets for the Hampton, VA shows. Keep your fingers crossed. We are going to see Ben Folds next Friday and are super excited for that.

Happy Bday to Jules! She turns 40 (i know i'm being nice here, really nice) tomorrow. We love you and hope you had a great time last night. Dad, when she turns her next big birthday, can you please do it on a weekend!

Well, hope this updates you a bit. Again, we know we need to get more into this, but bear with us for a bit.
