The Clone Wars... finally, a reason to wait in line again!

If you know Christie and I at all then you know we're gonna be all over this like Oprah on a box of twinkies! Like this should even surprise you. How many times have you been shaking your heads when we tell of the lines at Celebration II & III down in Indy. Star Wars fans know patience (well, except for me) because of their time spent line waiting for movies, exclusives, etc. The only real downside is that out here in Michigan the movie scene isn't nearly as crazy as in California. Still you know my obsession with the clone troopers, so this is right up my dark little alley! This is going to be a running TV series with the kick off being a movie in August. Check out the cleaner version of this trailer on the official site here: http://www.starwars.com/video/view/000478.html

Keira's 4th Birthday

Believe it or not Keira turns 4 tomorrow afternoon. Her Birthday was celebrated over the weekend here at our house. I thought I'd post this year's pictures a little bit sooner than the ones I posted last year :) So here are a few of them. Keira helped out in decorating the cake and we have the candy all over the kitchen floor to prove it! She was also pleased to hear that the Sharks won their franchise record 9th straight game today in Minnesota. OK, Daddy was happy to hear that but still. It was a good time and we thank everyone that braved the snow and came over to help us celebrate!

Benefit #33 of living in the Midwest

In the Midwest during the winter months your garage doubles as a second refrigerator / freezer. If you want to keep something cold and your fridge is full simply put it out in your garage. The freezing cold will see to it that your garage is colder than the temperature in your fridge. Problem solved! An example you ask? This bag of ice in the garage was purchased more than 24 hours ago. No melting!
