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.

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!!!
