Kendall Rene

Congrats to Brendan and Julie on the birth of their new baby girl, Kendall Rene!!!

She was born yesterday, June 19 sometime around 8:55am – at least that is when we received the text message! She weighed in at 7.5lbs and 19 1/4 inches.

Brendan mentioned how older brother Jack and oldest sister Hallie were taking it all in: “Jack is in denial that he has a little sister and is telling everyone he has a baby brother. Hallie is totally speechless with excitement which speaks volumes about what she things. They are both very excited/happy.”

Congrats Bren and Jules!!!

Happy Father’s Day

Happy Father’s Day, Dad!

Indianapolis

I’m sitting in the T.G.I. Fridays’s in the Indianapolis airport working away… I started out this morning on a 7:20am flight out of Bush Intercontinental. So, I was up at some ungodly hour that I don’t want to even think about. After a connection in Detroit, I am now in Indianapolis waiting on John to get here so that we can head up to West Lafayette (where Purdue is) for the Mid-Continent conference camp.

Why the crazy flight times? Because I am trying to save money on camps and I flew on miles. Northwest miles. And there weren’t that many choices of flights, so these were the only ones that would get me here. John gets here tonight around 7pm, so at least I have access to “the internets” and a nice quiet place to work. Well, quiet if you are able to tune out I can’t get enough of your love and other lyrics that endlessly repeat in the background.

Anyway, after all of that travel, I really couldn’t figure out what timezone I was in. I thought central, but wasn’t sure — I knew that Detroit was eastern – but wasn’t sure about Indianapolis. I was going to ask the waitress the next time she passed by, just so that I could be sure of the time. Instead, while I was waiting, I just typed “indianapolis time” into Google.

Google local time

This is why Google just rocks — the information that I want right at the top of the page, “according to Google”.

Nice.

The Kiss

Just because I haven’t blogged anything lately and because it deserves to be posted…

The kiss!
