The St. Elizabeth Hospital Pink Lion will always have a place in the heart of my 2 year old Emma. Ever since the birth of our son Drew 6 months ago, Emma pretty much demands that she see the “Pink Lion” so we need to drive by it, roll down her window so she can say hello. Take a look as we drive by today and see for yourself what it does to her.

Tommy spends the evening at a Appleton Tweetup and the Appleton Christmas parade. Madeline marched with the Little Chute Marching band as a flag twirler. Nice work Madeline!!!

Tommy talks about his lunch with the AWESOME gals at Red Shoes PR as well as some of the top movers and shakers in the Fox Cities area. What a blast to meet folks from Affinity and Prospera CU as well as local twitter friends.

Appleton parade and injury of a co-worker all also topics of discussion.

Tommy shares his fortunes from His Chinese meal. Love me some Chinese!! He also talks candidly about his family and what it was like to tell Madeline that he and mom were getting a divorce.”Yes Madeline we are still a family, it will just be different.”

It’s parent teacher conference time for Tommy and Clara. Jody and I always go to conferences together so we can better understand exactly how the kiddies are doing. Well and per usual, the both got glowing reviews. Not so when i was their age. I’m sure Tom & Sharon hated having to sit with my teachers and hear how terrible I was. Mrs. Messner, Mr. Nagle & Mr Domm all had a hit and had it out for Tommy. I was a great kid, too bad, no one knew it ~

There has been some wedding drama going around and its a bit more then I can stand. I love my siblings with all my heart but this off again, on again deal is killing me. Why can’t we just make a decision and stand by it? Again I love all my siblings, but sometimes decisions effect more then just yourself.

This week our 2 year old Emma has started telling us when she was making good and bad choices while at the sitter.I love the fact that accountability and right and wrong is starting to sink in so early in life. What would life be like if everyone just make ‘good choices”

Tommy III goes on his first Cub Scout camp out and Tommytrc talks about his days as a scouter. The Sub Scout and Boy Scout program has had a profound effect on my life. My leaders taught me a great deal. I now can see the influence Tommys scout leaders are having on his life. The circle continues and so does the great Scouting program!

Today I talk about my great co worker and her quest for a new house. Its amazing the struggles and trials of a single mom and the sacrifices she will make for her son. A true hero in my book.

Tommy and dad looking for some sweet bargains at Walmart and wouldn’t you know it, Tommy stops at the Rubik’s Cube Area. He can not get enough of the Rubik’s Cube. Then there is Emma at the Sanofsky family devouring some of her trick or treating loot.
