Some new pictures up in the gallery:

Josh’s birthday–a great time at home, with a magician and fun in the yard.
Vacation! Down to visit Grammy in mid-August, including a trip to the Wheels O’ Time museum (aka: the “car museum”), swimming, a paddleboat ride, and general enjoyment for all.
Various shots of the kids, including a most unforgettable ballet partner for Valli.

It’s February, so it’s birthday time in the Hogberg household–Valli and Noah both enjoying their special days. Check out all the fun on the pictures page.

A couple more pix of Valli, with her special birthday chair (which finally arrived this weekend.)  Aunt Kristen paid a visit on Sunday as well, letting Valli and the kids have some together time as well!
Pix here.

A few pictures from birthday #2, now available.

The kids and dad, out braving the elements! Check out new pictures. A little teaser below:

Big road trip for the family over Thanksgiving–3 days in a car from Chicago to Jupiter, FL! A long, but relatively stress-free trip, followed by a nice 5 days with “Grandpa Pfef” in the Florida sun. New pictures in the photo gallery, showing fun at the pool, as well as a side trip to the animal sanctuary.

and that means one thing…THE PILE OF LEAVES IS BACK!
Check the pictures out here.

Enjoy a little visual diary of my exciting night out at the Series. Chicago Baseball In Late October–that takes a little getting used to. Click here or on the Pictures link to the right. Definitely run the slideshow option on this set!
