This is what it is all about

So we where out in our yard today and the kids played out front on their bicycle and tricycle. The pictures really say it all ... to me .... this is what our new house is all about. Big yard for the kids to play in. It was such a nice evening to be outside.

Now Logan likes to push with this feet instead of Pedal the Tricycle. Turns out that his feet where going so fast that they blurred in the picture a little....LOL.

Here is what I do

A lot of you have asked me what I do. Sometimes hard to explain. I thought since I am at our Home Office in Chicago learning how to work on this new printing device, it would be a good time to take some pictures to show you.

These two Racks of computers are some of the computers that control the digital printing press. This is the front view first. Each Rack holds 9 computers - 18 computers in two Racks total.


This view is of the back side of the two computer Racks. Notice the detail on the cabling.


Here are a couple of views of the Printing Press itself.

Living Room Redone

As promised, I thought I would post some before and after pictures of the main living room.

Before


During



After
I will try to get a better picture than this. But gives you a look.

Ohh my gosh

We are soo blessed with the friends that we have. Our house is closet space challenged. It seems to be that way in the older houses. People did not have as much clothes in 1954 as we do today apparently.

Anyways, we where really blessed that some of our friends, Todd and Y, had a (spare?) Armoire sitting in storage that they wanted to get rid of. They asked if we could use it, we said yes, and they gave it to us! On top of that, I was gone on a Staff Retreat for Jr. High and could not help move this beast into our room. No, problem, Todd and some help moved this thing in on their own.

So I get home from this trip and see this thing in our room, it is awesome! It adds the missing closet space that we where missing. We are very happy with this new furniture and matches our bedroom set pretty well.

Rosa and I would like to send a BIG THANKS to Todd and Y for donating to Dana Place.

Thanks again guys.

See a picture of the piece below.

The Wall is Dry

Thought I would post a picture of the wall with Dry Wall now.

It's been a while

I know, I know. It has been a while since I posted to the good old blog-a-ma-thing. This has mainly been do to the move from the old house to the new one. We moved just about 4 weeks ago. It has been crazy since then.

With that, before we moved in, a friend came over and helped me run wires through our attic for our Bose Speakers. Thanks Matthew!!

Also, something I noticed after posting this and seeing the photo again, notice the nails above Matthew's head. This is from the new roof, kind of creeps me out with all those nails sticking out.

Movin' On Up

Finally! We have moved in to Dana Place. Last Saturday was the big day.

I want to thank Shane, Todd and Jeff for all their help. We moved from about 8am until 11pm. I was so exhausted by the time that Jeff called me to help out that I did not want to do anymore. Jeff motivated me to keep going and we got most of the garage moved. Thanks for the motivation bro.

So we have little tid bits to move at the old house now. We need to get that stuff out and clean it so it is ready to rent out.

I do not have any pictures on the new house at all since we have been soo busy un-packing. I will post some when my main computer gets back up in the office. Drywall is up in the Living Room now. I cannot wait to mount the new 52" LCD above the fireplace.

We are now in the process of moving all of our stuff into place. So please forgive us for not being around. We miss all of our friends and cannot wait to have everyone over!
