Construction Continues!

The plumber has begun, the windows are in, the new heating system is almost complete, the electrician starts next week. In the next few weeks we are hoping to finish all framing, have all the plumbing set up as well as the electric and heating. Then on to the drywall, flooring, kitchen, tile, siding, etc.....

We'll keep you posted.

For all of those that were supposed to get copies of this for Christmas but my printer is not working properly right now... here is the 2007 Christmas shot.

Christmas in New York City

The weekend of December 15, Nonna and her children and grandchildren got together for a Christmas celebration. Aunt Ruth had to work on Christmas this year so would be staying in Chicago so we decided to have an early celebration. Unfortunately, Patrick could not make it.

We came into NYC, stayed at Nonna's and went to the Museum of Natural History, Rockefeller Center to see the tree and even St. Patrick's Cathedral to view the cresh. We also had some delicious meals and opened lots of wonderful presents. Thanks for the hosptility, Nonna!

Zachary's School Winter Concert

On Monday December 17, 2007 Zachary participated in the Gregory School's Winter Concert. The preschool classes together sang:

I Have a Car

Jingle Bells

Pulling Together

This Little Light

Despite a little stage fright, Zachary did an excellent job mouthing the words to the songs. Not sure any sound actually came out of him. Of course, even if he was singing, his voice could not have been heard over Tyler who stole the show (over Zack's left shoulder). Tyler, on the middle riser scooted himself up to the very edge of the step, toes hanging over, and precariously leaned his body so he could sing DIRECTLY into the microphone. He was suberb! All the others were basically his back up singers... Go Tyler..
