Next Year is Here - Go Cubs!!

GO CUBS GO!!!

My Dad & I [Chrissi] went to Wrigley Field for the Chicago Cubs opening day today. It was the first time either of us have been to a Cubs season opener. Typical Chicago weather in March - cold, windy & rainy. Despite 2 rain delays and the Cubs loss 4-3 in 10 innings, we had a great time. And, being an eternally optimistic Cubs fan, I truly believe that this is their year!! :) GO CUBS GO!!!

Career Aspirations

Becka's class had a fireman visit recently, so we have 2 plastic firefighter hats in our dress up chest now. Becka put one on Zack and announced, "Zack is going to be a fireman when he grows up!" "That's great honey," I said "But what if he wants to be something else?" She didn't miss a beat: "Well, then he can be a SUPERHERO!"

Happy 2nd Birthday Zack!

Zack turned 2 today, so we went for pictures!

To Tell the Truth ...

Yesterday [March 18th] was my birthday. Michael reminded Becka of this in the morning, and then the following conversation transpired:

Becka: Happy Birthday, Mommy! How old are you?
Chrissi: How old do you think I am?
Becka: Uh-oh.
Chrissi: What's wrong, honey?
Becka: Mommy, I'm not supposed to lie.

Becka's Hoarsey Voice

Becka & I [Chrissi] are both sick, but her voice sounds worse than mine ...

Thankfully, she's still in pretty good spirits. Pray for us all to be back to 100% soon!

What's in a name??

I [Chrissi] was in our office with Becka recently. She looked at one of my old diplomas & asked what it said. I read it, including my name as Christine Ellen Kemnetz. "Who is that?" she asked. "That's me -- That was my name before I married Daddy. Someday when you get married you'll change your name, too." She thought for a few seconds and said, "I think I'll change it to Kemnetz."

I'm sure Grappi Kemnetz will be thrilled!
