Fall 2008 & Cubs WIN!!!

Today is officially the first day of Fall (Autumn for the Brits) in 2008, it is also two days since the Chicago Cubbies clinched their 2nd Division title in as many years, a feat unmatched since 1908, and we all know what happened that year.

I was at the game on Saturday, and the timing could not have been better. I was really worried that the team would clinch on Thursday or Friday, as they could have, however they held on until Saturday and the town was buzzing.

AJ's birthday is one week from today. Hard to believe that she is one year old already! We are of course having a party, combined with a housewarming on Saturday. Work is progressing well on the house, and I really must take some pictures again. I have all but finished painting downstairs, and only a couple rooms left upstairs. The main yard work will be completed this week, and I still hope to get the hot tub going by next weekend for the party.

My MIL is in town for two weeks from today, and my SIL arrives next weekend, both flying in for the shindig, and Maddy told me I HAVE to have the hot tub ready!

So Go Cubs Go! for the playoffs and hopefully we will be celebrating some more big wins throughout October!

If you think my little girl is just the cutest thing your ever saw, then please vote for her. I recently entered her in a local radio station contest, and we only have about a week to vote to get her through this round, then I would guess some other voting in following rounds. Click here to go to the site and vote , as many times as you can/want, although I think you have to register before you vote, so I understand some people will not want to do that. Vote early, vote often!

Webcast Is Coming

I have been working with a guy in the office, to get this thing going (although really he is the technical whizz on this). The long and short of it, is that it looks fantastic. We tried it last night. The picture quality is a little jerky, but the sound is great, and it's not like we will be running around. We still need to go to the venue and test it there, then set up all the connections and stuff, but barring some major failure..it's on! It will be broadcast here .

News Update

Well it's been a while since I posted any news about what is going on here with us, so I thought I would kinda pull together thoughts from the last few months. The first and most exciting news is our forthcoming new addition. Our first child is due September 25 th , for those of you who haven't read in a little while or seen the posting, click here . All is well, and we are trying to plan our year, including any trips, especially where flying is involved, before it is too late for Lorraine to fly. According to the due date we are at 15 weeks right now, and there is not much else to tell. She is not really showing yet, no kicking, etc. She was as sick as a dog on dodgy dog food for the whole first tri mester , and whilst she is much better now, she still has some issues in the evening. I mention the dodgy dog food intentionally because of an issue which is only getting worse here in the US. For months a major rebranding manufacturer (name withheld to protect from law suits :-) ...
