New Identity

I retired my old license plate that I've had for 14 years [HI RED 1] for this:

It's meaning is two-fold: Becka Zack MAMA [of] 2 or BZ [busy] MAMA [of] 2.

Honk & wave if you see us around town in our gold minivan!

Becka's Field Trip to Dairy Queen

Becka & her PreK class took a walk to the local Dairy Queen today for an end of the school year treat. When she got home I asked what she did today.

Becka: "I walked to Dairy Queen!"
Chrissi: "What did you do there?"
Becka: "I ruined my appetite!!"

Becka is FOUR!!

Hard to believe she's 4!! Enjoy her pictures! :)

Cubbies are in FIRST PLACE!!!

OK - We're about 25% done with the regular season and the Cubs are in first place and tied for the best record in both divisions [23 wins, 15 losses for a .605 record]. http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/mlb/standings/index.jsp WooHoo!!

And just because she's so cute, here's a couple videos of Becka from last summer:

Go Cubs Go!!

Cinco de Mayo

I [Chrissi] was trying to tell Becka that today is Cinco de Mayo. "Cinco tomato?" she repeated. :)

Happy 40th Anniversary Mom & Dad Kemnetz

Happy 40th Anniversary Mom & Dad Kemnetz!

Today we celebrated my parents' 40 years of marriage. They'll be the first to admit that their marriage isn't perfect [whose is?], but they are definitely a great model for honoring their marriage vows.

Thanks Mom & Dad for loving each other in good times & bad -- What a great legacy you are leaving and what a fabulous example you are to your children & grandchildren. We all love you!

One Big, Happy Family

As a gift to my parents for their upcoming 40th anniversary [May 4], we had a picture taken of our entire family.
