It doesn't get much better than this

God has blessed me and Lizzie with the sweetest children in the world. I love holding them in my arms when I come home from work after a long day. I want to live in these moments forever.

I hear Maxwell St. calling

Can't You Just Taste The Polish Sausage And Birria Taco's. I'm itching to go down to Maxwell Street within the next few weeks..............any takers. I don't know when its more fun to go, when its below zero and you run the risk of not coming home with your toes because of frostbite or when its so hot and humid that you have body parts sticking to other body parts that aren't supposed to stick together if you get my drift. Either way your always in the presence of cutting edge fashion (note the picture of my dad) when your down on Maxwell Street

It doesn't get much better than this

Deep frying a turkey an Christmas Day........now this is living>

Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover


I've decided to march down to the bank on my lunch hour monday afternoon and open up a savings acount so that I can buy something like this one day. Based on my calculations if my bank takes $20.00 a week out of my check then it should only take me about 15 years or just about when daniel is getting his license until I can buy something similar to or like this. Aim high with your dreams kids, Aim high.

I know its been a while but i've been a little busy.

I think this wiil look good the next time we go down to Maxwell Street.

It's almost like planning a wedding...


Sorry about not blogging for a while people but i've been busy planning and building a shed for a few weeks now. My good friend designed the shed for me. You can find some of his other work here. He is as you can see a very talented architect. I should probably ask him why my shed plans are not up on his website. But anyway, I will try to do a better job with blogging in the future. My wife gets a real kick out of the title of this blog because I said it to her a couple of weeks ago.

This is my life, My card........is the allowance my wife gives me.


5 and a 1/2 holes drilled in the ground
1 severed power line (yes I called julie, some yahoo didn't do his job).
1 cut half way through.
2 and a 1/2 days without a/c when its in the 90's.
1 pregnant woman and a 2 year old in the house without a/c.
3 visits from ComEd.
1 week setback and construction resumes.
26 bags of cement @ 60 pounds each.
6 holes @ 10 inches in diameter by 48 inches deep.

Money shot on the cement mixer.......Sweet.
Being able to hug your Dad after almost being electrocuted..........Priceless.
