Christmas #2

We had some present opening festivities at Cathy's sister's house a few days ago. The highlight for Liam was the Clone Trooper helmet with voice changer. So much for the paper made one.

Christmas

Cathy's dad came last Friday from TX, just in time for our huge snowstorm and to babysit for our Christmas party which was nice. My parents came for Liam's Christmas service on Sunday. Here are a couple photos of the past couple days.

Snow Day

Yesterday was our first snow day of the year. The weathermen had been predicting this storm all week between midnight and 6 AM and by golly the were right! Amazing. Unfortunately the school district didn't call school off until 4:30 AM... Anyway, we did get about 12" of snow and some blowing winds. Now the only good thing about this, besides a snow day (which was kind of waste considering it was our last day before Christmas break and a half day party day), was that I got to try out my new (30 years old actually) snow blower! Now this thing is a TANK and it cut through the snow like butter. It was awesome! I am never going back to shoveling again. Here are a couple pictures of the afternoon playing in the snow.

Our first real Christmas tree!

Liam Singing, Owen Humming Along

Owen often hums along with Liam when he sings. He has been known to be heard humming the Darth Vadar theme song from Star Wars in his crib. He also hums some of the other songs Liam. Here is another video of Liam singing a school song, Christ Is Our Cornerstone, and Owen humming along.

Liam Singing

Liam is quite a prolific singer if you haven't heard him before. He can be heard singing the Star Wars theme song or his chapel song, Christ is Our Cornerstone. Here is a video of him singing one of his Christmas songs.

MU vs. UW

Last Saturday I was able to attend the Marquette vs. Wisconsin game. As always, we had great seats compliments of bro-in-law Jeff. Much fun was had.

Change

As many of you know I have been mulling over a call (job offer) to Risen Savior Lutheran School in Milwaukee. This past Wednesday, Cathy and I decided that we will make a major change in our lives. I will be taking the position of principal at Risen Savior beginning this summer. It will be quite a change for us but we are sure it is for the best. We will definitely miss our friends in Burlington but it isn't too far for a visit. More later.
