Catherine draws her escape plan

Catherine didn't appreciate being cooped up with Liam in the den while mommy and daddy tried to get some things done around the house. She even took to diagramming for us that she and Liam (on the right) need daddy (on the left) to open the gate (noted by the arrow).

Daddy's Trip

Hi Catherine! Here's the pictures I promised for you to show you what I'm doing.

Here's the view from my seat in the school. You can see my teacher, Jim, teaching us stuff ... probably something awesome about recoverying from datafile block corruption!



I'll try to get a picture of the outside of the school building. It's a tall building called the Zurich Towers in Schaumburg, Illinois.

Here's the view from the hotel room where I sleep at night. No, I don't sleep at the school!


Here's the pretty fountain in the lobby:


Those are the pictures I have so far. The rest were too blurry. I'll try to take some nicer ones tomorrow. It's not a very exciting place and I miss you lots. See you on Friday!

UPDATE (21-Mar-08):

Here's a picture of the school building, although the school is only on the 16th floor.


Here's a picture of the car when I walked out of the hotel this morning. It is snowing a lot down here now.


See you tonight! xoxo Daddy.

Sicko Kiddos

This is what we have been doing for the whole of 2008 so far. Lying on the couch and being sick. We began the year with vomit and moved on to serious head colds with phlegm and then we went through super high fevers with headache. Hooray. So far it has been a great year!!! We will update when we actually do something.

HIDING!

Here's Liam in his hidey hole, which also happens to have all the potato chips and pretzels and fruit snacks.
