We are geeks this busy week

Our family is exhausted tonight, because last night we had the big birthday bash for Dawn at the suite at Comerica Park. Thanks to everyone involved we did pull off the perfect surprise! She is still talking about it...

We are sitting in bed each with our laptops, and watching American Idol, so it is true we have reached utter geekdom :) She is working on posting some pictures, but they probably won't be up tonight...

Tommy had hockey practice tonight, and did a good job... He has baseball practice tomorrow night, and then a hockey game on Friday.

I have been really busy at work, and now that we are done with the birthday party I need to re-focus, and hunker down until the next Hockey Tournament :)

Saturday we have my Knights of Columbus event, and I am all set with my tuxedo (it is at the cleaners), and looking forward to a nice event and dinner with my lovely wife.

Well, time to get some sleep...

Disney World - Hockey - *sigh* Austin on the Potty...

I know I am horrible poster, so feel free to delete my feed :P

Disney World - Yes, you may have noticed the countdown is going here on the blog, and indeed we are going to Disney World this year. We got a great deal with the free dining promotion that they are currently running, and $800 for all 4 of us to fly non-stop round-trip. So, surprise surprise we are going to visit the Mouse :)

Hockey - My house is Hockey Central... Dawn is gearing up for her Chicks with Sticks (btw - her picture was in the paper this evening, but they put the wrong name on the photograph), and is now playing in her league on Monday nights. I am trying to get back into the Adult Learn to Play that I did a couple of years ago just so I can try to keep up... Tommy is playing on two teams House, and a spring "travel/tournament" team. We have a tournament in Ann Arbor this weekend, and Tommy really wanted a big banner, so I just finished painting the main portion of the banner, and hopefully Dawn will paint the kids names, and numbers on it. Yes, I love my Tommy, so I stayed up to 1 AM working on a banner that being paper could be utterly destroyed by Austin in 3.2 seconds :) Anyway, I am looking forward to the tournament this weekend.

Austin came home from school early today, because he was having potty problems... So, I left work, and took him to the doctor, got the oil changed, and we went to lunch. It was nice to have a surprise day off, and after speaking with the doctor we have a plan with how to make him for comfortable and operating at peak efficiency :P

*yawn*

Well, I gotta head to bed... Catch ya later...

Thanks!

I have been crazy busy at work, so sorry so slow on the posts :)

I wanted to take a moment to Thank Mike M. for his help at the school yesterday... There were some donated computers that didn't have any drivers loaded, and he found the correct ones, and got them loaded. I told Jill to give him a big hug, a smooch, and tell him I said Thanks! It is one less thing I have to worry about...

I went to Knights of Columbus tonight, and tomorrow we have a Spaghetti Dinner for the Knights, and then Tommy has baseball practice...

I hope everyone is having a great week...
