I am finally getting around to add the 2020 Christmas photos to the site. That pretty much sums up this update, so I will leave it at that!

As always seems to be the case, I am struggling to keep up with the updates to the website. This time around I have added a bunch of new stuff, and caught up with a bunch of stuff I missed during my last update. Be sure to check out the Current Events page and look for the "New" or "Update!" icons to see what I have added, or click on the Update List page to see what has been added since your last visit to our site! Either way, please check out the pictures and enjoy!

One update to add this time around, and this pictures from our first visit to Walt Disney World on September 27th. We went to visit Epcot, and had a good time despite the heat and social distancing policies. Anyway, check out the pictures and enjoy!

As typically seems to be the case with me, I am behind on getting the updates to the site posted. Finally, today I am more or less caught up - I have our last two visits to Disney World added, the remainder of Jayden's soccer games added to her home page, several new wallpapers added to the Wallpapers page, and the pictures and information from our weeklong trip to Arizona to see Grandpa Jerry & Grandma Gail. Hopefully I will be able to keep up while everyone is stuck at home and in quarantine... well, except for me, who still gets to go to work!

The big news for this update involves Jayden, as she was selected to be a member of the Barrington Middle School soccer team. Her schedule and the info for the first game is available on Jayden's Current Event page. There are a couple of updates to the Disney page as well, so please check them all out!

Not a lot of news to report this time around, just a few updates to the site. First, I have added the pictures from our trip to Disney's Hollywood Studios earlier this month. Second, I added some new popcorn buckets to the Buckets & Sippers page. Finally, I added some photos from Drew's 15th birthday dinner to his Current Events page. I guess that would have to be the biggest news... Drew is 15! How did that happen? Oh, and with turning 15 comes getting his permit... that's right, Drew is officially driving! Watch out Florida!

It's time for the first website update of 2020! 2019 was a tough year for our extended family, so we are hoping for positive vibes for not only our family, but for all of our family and friends out there throughout the country and world! As I said, 2019 was a trying year in many ways. We lost some beloved family members, dealt with a variety of health issues, and made some unexpected moves.

On a family level, after settling in to make Venice our home for our first year in Florida (as an entire family, anyway) Tara took a great new job that necessitated yet another relocation for our family. A move an hour north resulted in us being neighbors with Uncle Dwayne, Aunt Erica, Donovan, and Marissa! Of course, moving meant a new school for Drew and Jayden for the third year in a row, and a (hopefully temporary) hiatus from sports. Tyler is still spending his time in Germany while doing his duty in the U.S. Air Force, though he is ready to come home, attend college, and get back to a normal life. Samantha, after some tough decisions, is splitting her time between our new home and Grandpa Gary & Grandma Terry's house while working and preparing to attend school at the University of Tampa this winter.

Regarding the website, as always, I am hoping to keep the updates coming in a more timely fashion this year, though I am sure that I will fall behind again at some point despite our relatively light schedule. For now, I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will go well. I only have one update this time (in addition to the yearly task of moving the Current Events on to the correct year page) and that is all of the pictures of our 2019 Christmas activities. As you'd expect, you can now find those on the 2019 Past Events page.

As always, the Update List page is available for your use if it has been quite some time since your last visit to our site. This page contains a chronological listing of all of the updates that have been made this year, allowing you to easily find anything you may have missed since your last visit. Please enjoy the site and come back often. Thanks for visiting!
