It's pizza night tonight

Waiting for my order at Papa Johns Pizza.

Jared and Michelle and Chase are here!

Fun Saturday

Today we all went to see pirates of the carabean. It was great. Now we are eating at Olive Garden. Heather got her hair cut and is absolutely georgous.

Heather has a new clock!

We bought a new clock tonight. It's a Rhythem clock that plays music and spins around.

Our weekly jaunt to chilis

Me and Isabelle

Getting set to go home

Just kick'n it at the Toronto airport Admiral's club, waiting for my flight.

Warehouse

This may seem boring to you but I love to walk through a big warehouse. This our largest facility in Canada.

Window with a view

Interesting fact. The flight from NY to Toronto is only 1 1/2 hours. They have just enough time to serve a drink with one hand and take it away with the other.

Heading to Toronto

I'm sitting in the admirial's club in Laguardia waiting for my flight. I am heading out on a quick two day trip to Canada to be the bad guy with the business. They want system enhancements and like the Capital One commercials I will be saying "NO" all day. Should be fun.

Shopping for a new dress.

Aubree is true girly girl. She will only wear dresses and white dress shoes all day long and it is a battle to get the dress and shoes off for bedtime. So she now has enough sun dresses to get through an entire week. She is proudly holding her new dress at the store and won't let go of it. Crazy girls.

Saturday fun

We went to see Shreck the Third with Isabelle' friend Eliza. We then took the girls to lunch at Chili's which is next to the theatre. I give the movie 4 out of 5 stars, it was equal to the first two. Even Aubree enjoyed the movie for the most part.

Picking up Isabelle from school.

Medford Elementary

Day off with a date.

I took the day off today. I took Heather and Aubree to Ruby Tuesdays for lunch.

Potty training woes

Aubree is potty training

Happy mothers day!

Mmmm, smelly flowers for my sweetheart! After spending a very long week in management meetings in Union, Missouri, I was forced kicking and screaming to Scottsdale, Arizona for the weekend to supervise the team putting in the new system there (simulation tests for the weekend). Unfortunately I let the Europeans plan the Sim test dates and they did not realize the dates fell on Mother's day. So I diligently sent Heather some flowers from afar and gave her the best Mother's day ever (without me there to bother her... aha).

Isabelle's 10th Birthday bash

Isabelle has officially turned 10 in May (May 10th to be exact). I had to be out of town for her Birthday (in Union, Missouri). So we celebrated early. Here are some pictures of the event.

My new toy - Blackberry Pearl - I'm back in business

Happy Valentines Day!

For Valentines day I got a TomTom One GPS handheld navigator (because we can't seem to find a Nintendo Wii). Heather got lots of lov'n for her valentines present. So now I have a very sexy voice that can tell me exactly where and when to turn and doesn't judge me when I take the wrong road.... hahha.

Winter - kinda late!

Hey, what a slacker I've been on my blog. I figure if old man winter can slack off on Long Island, so can I. We have had a very nice winter thus far, however today it actually snowed for the first time. It may only be a half-inch, but the freezing rain and wind are making up for the lack of snow here. You know it is going to be a long day when it takes 2 hours to go 29 miles and when I got to the parking lot I noticed that everyone has their windshield wipers pointing up to the sky to avoid freezing them to the windshield. I am extremely busy at work right out of the gate this year. I am leading an outsource initiative to eliminate 8 of my staff over the next three months, which includes relocating 150 servers from Long Island to Scottsdale, Arizona. These servers are the lifeblood of three divisions of Esselte and drive $500 million in annual sales, so the risks are high and the pressure is on me.
