Katie's 4th Birthday

Katie received two goldfish for her birthday which, unfortunately, only lasted 3 days. We're thinking of a pet with a bit more resiliance.

Katie is learning her ways :-)

Recently, Katie walked into my parents room and hugged my mom.

Katie said,

"Mommy, you great!"

Then she walked up to my dad.

"Daddy, you great!"

Then she asked both of them,

"Can I have cake?"

Katie is learning her ways! :-)

Why We Love Mom....

We celebrated Natasha's birthday today. McKenzie and Jacob decided to make an extra special gift for "mom" this year with a book they wrote with reasons why they love their mom. Some of the reasons were that she listens to their problems, helps them when they are hurt and takes them to the park.

The above journal entry literally brought tears to our eyes. It sure is nice to have well adjusted kids!

Cookie Crisis

Our nation is in a serious crisis, a cookie crisis. I grew up watching Cookie Monster and even had a Cookie Monster puppet (I cut a hole in the back of his mouth so I could feed him cookies). I think my brother had an Oscar the Grouch puppet. I'm not sure what our parents where telling us with that gift selection, but that's another story. Anyway, it appears as if Cookie Monster has sold out to big fruit. Thankfully, Stephen Colbert, our nations pre-eminent political journalist, if you ask me, has brought this story to light in this exclusive interview with Cookie Monster himself.

Deckert & Van Loh is a great place to work...

Sometimes the office staff needs to be reminded what a privilege it is to work with me. If not, I hear that H&R Block and the Air Force are hiring. So this Office clip is dedicated to those at the office who are so privileged to work with me(you know who you are).

I'm looking for Amanda Hugginkiss....

The staff at my office think that they are pretty darn funny. When they are not pretending to be hard at work (while I am out golfing), they take a phone message or two. At least I was just asked to bathe and not to get a life or go to Hell! Can you believe it? They didn't even get a return number!

Why We Avoid Taking Our Kids in Public IV....

They have a special playground for our kids at Blue Fin Bay!
