I really enjoy getting out and away from things. I do love my job but I'm pretty OCD about work. I can't seem to relax unless I'm far removed from the "daily grind." I think that my wife puts up with it all knowing that when I do allow myself to "get away from it all," I regain at least some emotional stability and perspective. We went to New York a couple of summers ago and soaked up a city that I love. Click the "Play" button to see some pix.

This is Christopher.  He insists on being called "Chris," nowadays. He's a fairly serious kid. Still trying to find himself. Thrilled about being able to drive. He recently earned his Eagle award in Boy Scouts. He has recently taken an interest in computers and proclaimed that he will be the next Steve Jobs.

This is Allison. She won't let us call her by her nicknames, anymore. She loves drawing and playing with friends. Loves to read. Really enjoyed The Hunger Games book series and loved the movie. She is also very responsible. In fact, when mom and dad go out on dates, she is really the one in charge--though the oldest one thinks that he is. Click the "Play" button to see some pix.

This is Matthew Paul.  Just started tennis lessons. He loves to try new things. He thinks "outside of the box" all of the time. In fact, I almost never see him in the box. Currently, he is designing some t-shirts that he can sell. I could see him growing up and being quite a clever entrepreneur. Now, if I could only get him to close his mouth when he chews. :-) Click the "Play" button to see some pix.
