A day in Port Washington

The kids and I spent today in Port Washington. It's absolutely one of our favorite day trip destinations! We ate at our favorite steak joint (Arby's), swam in the clear water, soaked up the sun on the beach, took a walk out to the end of the pier, and did a little shopping. Fun as always! Enjoy the pics.

A weekend road trip to Lake Geneva

Just a quick "hi" and a picture from our road trip to spend a few summer hours in Lake Geneva. Did some shopping, grabbed some lunch and ice cream cones, and watched the boaters and beach bums. Summer rules.

A visit from Beth and Teagan

Kyle and I had the pleasure of spending some time with my cousin, Beth, and her son Teagan a few weeks ago at Wayne and Renee's house. He's a great little guy and a lot of fun just to watch! Kyle had brought along his guitar and Teagan joined the jam playing drums with wooden spoons on a table. Beth and Jeff are expecting their second son in a few months. Congrats! Glad we got to see you this summer.

My friend Nancy

My friend and co-worker Nancy Sellars lost her life this week to the hands of a drunk driver. Nancy worked with me at kalmbach for the last 7 years as head of the Credit department. Nancy was a wonderful triathlete who competed in many Ironman competitions and marathons all over the country. She was out on an afternoon bike ride this last Wednesday with her friend Tom when they were struck by a drunk driver. She died later that night. I'm also good friends with Jimi, Nancy's husband. He is Kyle's guitar instructor and my mentor for bass playing. I feel for you and your family, Jimi, and will always remember your loving wife Nancy. Rest in eternal peace, my friend.

Happy 4th of July!

The kids and I had a great 4th of July. We started the day with the Greenfield parade, then headed over to Holz Chevrolet for the annual car show, then we went to Wayne and Renee's house for a wonderful dinner and fireworks. The special guest of the day was my cousin Amy and her friend Rose from Corpus Christi, TX. It was great to see Amy again! Bud, Evelyn, and Glenn were also there and catching up with them was a lot of fun. We love the 4th of July. Great weather, great food, and great friends!
