Xavier’s First Steps, Oskar Does Monkey Bars, Chicago Visit and Racing

Friday, March 31st, 2006

Xavier is working on walking. He’s great at standing and can cruise about 2 steps consistently, he’s had a few longer voyages covering 2′-4′ of ground, but they are still the exception. Oskar mastered the monkey bars yesterday, swinging from bar to bar to bar with some effort, but getting the confidence he needs to master it all the while. The basement is under construction. It’s still a ways off but it’s looking great so far. We fired up the projector last night and watched Dora the Explorer on the wall since we don’t have a room as of yet. Since I haven’t updated in a while… let me add that Deep and Sue came out for a visit and we took a trip to the Hancock downtown. I’ve got a mess of pictures to upload. This weekend is the Solo Learning Curve driving school. Chris and I will be heading down to Joliet for two full days of training and a day of competition.

Just a couple of birthday photos are posted. We had a nice little cake at the Church and presents with just us at the house before hand.

Happy Birthday Xavier hard to believe he’s one year old already! Speaking of which I think I hear him waking up.

Greening Your Congregation a Success!

Tuesday, March 7th, 2006

We pulled off the Green Team event last week. I then immediately got sick afterwords so I am guessing it was a little more stressfull than I had actually realized. The event was awsome and everyone who volunteered really pulled through. I’ll post some of the materials online here soon. I also have some photos from the day.

Erik on LinkedIn

Apparently you can have a public profile on LinkedIn now. I think it’s more of a marketing gimick than anything useful but hey, that’s what the internet is for right? We should have the final bid tomorrow to finish the basement and the garage should be fully insulated!
