Will it be a Boy or Girl?

We've been asked a lot lately if we'll find out the sex of the baby. We've decided that we're not going to know. If you have an idea of what the sex is, please vote on our poll. Check back often to see what other people think!

Baby on Board

The big news right now is WE'RE HAVING A BABY! We had our first doctor's visit today. On the ultrasound we could see the baby's head and heart beat. You could also see the "nubs" that will soon be arms and legs. The technician and Kyle saw the baby wiggle . . . of course Mom missed it! We are quite the proud parents because not everyone gets to see their baby wiggle so early. Apparently it takes a lot of energy for someone the size of a cherry to wiggle!

I'm doing well. I've had little nausea but nothing too bad. It's been hard to find foods that sound good to eat. Soups and pasta seem to be the staples right now. Bed time is now around 9:30pm, however there have been a few nights where I didn't make it past 8:00. Let's just say I'm getting lots of sleep these days.

Baby Meek's due date is March 18, 2008. The countdown begins!

Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Ryan Fox

Our friends Ryan and Eleanore were married May 19 at Eleanore's parents lake house in Lakeside, Michigan. It was an outside wedding overlooking Lake Michigan. The weather was amazing! Thank you Fox and Eleanore for letting us share in your day!

A group of us rented a lake house (Belle Cottage) for the weekend. Below are some pictures of the house and the private beach. As you can see it was a great place for a weekend getaway.

Mr. and Mrs. Drew Johnson

Congratulations to Drew and Kristie who wed Saturday, April 21. It was a beautiful wedding and a great reception. Kyle and I were secondary sponsors in the ceremony and Kyle got to wear a traditional barong (formal men's wear of the Philippines). It was great to see all our Cleveland and Chicago friends. We wish Drew and Kristie a life of wedded bliss!

Reno - Lake Tahoe

5 day, 4 night vacation to Reno and Lake Tahoe hit the spot. A big thanks to Kyle parents for such a fun Christmas gift! And contrary to unwarranted concerns our business didn't suffer when we were away. Is that the sign of a good boss or a bad one?
















Reno was good to us. Kyle is notorious for losing at casinos, but not this time! Craps, roulette, betting on sports; it didn't matter. Of course eventually our luck ran out and we were excited if we simply won money on a penny slot. We also learned that the Double Diamond slot machine is the only one worth playing. We even turned Kevin into a slot player and that's no small task.















Unfortunately we didn't have nice weather at Lake Tahoe. It was 30 degrees with light snow and rain. Because of the poor visibility we didn't get to do all the tourist activities like riding the gondola or taking the boat tour around the lake.

We want to give a special thanks to Kyle's cousin, Geoff, for being our tour guide while in town. He and Toby were the best!

Another Year Older

Bo Kitty: about 3 months old





B0 Kitty: 5 years old








We don't really know Bo's birthday so when Becky adopted the stray cat in the summer of 2002 she picked April 1st. April Fools Day, why not?

In honor of Bo's 5th Birthday check out Bo Kitty's Top 5 List below:

5. Nina. If Bo was Batman then Nina girl would be his Robin....but Robin would have to be a girl.

4. Laptops. Yes, Bo Kitty loves laptops. Loves to walk on them. Loves to rub his face on them. Loves to lay on them making it impossible to type bqlh3flkw9uajp#aslkpgaawlkm

3. Toy mice in the bathtub. Enough said.

2. Treats. Whisker Lickins or Pounce....must be the soft chew kind or he won't eat it. High maintenance little sh*#.

1. OUTSIDE!! Only thing better would be outside unsupervised (but don't tell him).

Happy Birthday Indiana All-Star Driving

It's official, Indiana All-Star Driving is now 4 years old. The company was incorporated in February 2003 and is still going strong. We now have 9 locations (2 in Evansville, Newburgh, Jasper, Ferdinand, Washington, Noblesville, Lafayette and Castleton) and have contracts with several Indiana high schools to run programs on location. We also have anywhere from 45-65 employees (depending on the time of year) and insure a fleet of 21 vehicles. It's been almost a year since Becky quit her advertising career and began her coup d'etat to take over the family business. In the last couple of weeks she was promoted to CFO in addition to her duties as the office manager of Castleton. Yes, Becky is now in charge of all the finances at home AND at work! God help us all.
