January 2018- from my phone



We had a quick trip to Palm Springs for a lacrosse tournament.

NOt that great of a picture, but Chelsea meeting with Miss CEO to go over business plans.


Future business leader in the making.

House Update:  Little did we know that we were still five months out from completion.


I must say that the counters are stunning.






A little selfie brought to you by Chelsea.

When your girlfriend happens to be playing at the same lacrosse tournament.

Geography Bee 2018


Mark was in the elementary school geography bee.  Mark LOVES geography and looks at his big map mural on his wall.


Matt, as always, stopped by to cheer Mark on.

Chelsea, Marky,  and I celebrated Mark's second place in the school.  We are so proud of him concentrating and studying for the geography bee.
