Tom and I are thinking about having another poker night on April 29th. I plan to send out an email with more details. Stay tuned and make sure your calendar is free ;).

Family & Friends celebrated Alex’s Christening yesterday. Everybody seemed to have a great time. The ceremony was wonderful and the food at Chesterfields was great. Tom & Kelly were named Alex’s Godparents. We are truely blessed to have Tom, Kelly, and Tyler in our lives. Here are some pictures from the event!

On Friday night myself and 9 other guys got together and played some Texas Hold’Em. Everybody seemed to have a good time especially Tom who won $112! Shell and I told him that he owes us some $$ because we taught him how to play :(. Tom and I would like to try and get everybody together once a month. We’ll let you know when the next poker night is. Here’s the only pics I took of the event.

I just finished uploading more pictures of Alex the 4th. In my opinion, they are some of the best pictures Shell and I have taken of him especially the ones where he is wrapped up in a towel.

This weekend was another busy weekend. Alex went to his Grandparents again and saw Tom, Kelly & Tyler for the first time outside of the hospital. It was fun to see Tyler interact with Alex.

Check them out: Tom, Kelly & Tyler & Alex’s First bath plus another trip to his Grandparents.

hell and I just got back from playing poker with Tom and Kelly. The ladies did rather well tonight. Shell came in first while Kelly came in second. Tom and I need to step up to the plate next time and win one. Here are some pics…

hell and I had a great time last night playing poker with Tom and Kell. This was there first time playing however; both of them did very well. In fact, Shell and I were out before both of them :). Kell ended up taking home the prize of $5.00! I hope she doesn’t spend it all at one place ;). Check out the pictures from last night including a pic of Tom with his Royal Flush!

verybody had a great time at Shelly’s baby shower this past weekend. Shell and I made out like bandits. We pretty much got everything we need for the baby. Now all we need to do is set everything up and wait :).

Thanks to Mom and Janice for a wonderful party!

Go here for some pics of the event.

his was definitely a great weekend for Rob. It was his birthday and he won poker for the first time. His victory brought him $45! Here are some pictures of his win including a picture where Liss is trying to get rid of him by hitting him in the head with a candelabrum! As I’ve said before, poker is a great family event ;).

oker night was a lot of fun. Toni (sp) and Jim were kind enough to invite all 13 of us over for some poker and dice. Everybody had a good time especially the two winners (Greg and Elissa). Liss took home $90 while Greg won $30. Go here for some great pics!

n case you haven’t noticed, I’ve placed a couple links along the right hand side which point to a couple of my friend’s sites. For now I have a link to Jim Muller’s blog as well as The Kane family’s blog. I’ve also added a link to another one of my personal sites (TiVoBlog.com). If anybody out there has a website of their own let me know so that I can post the link. I’d like to get as many of my friend’s websites posted as possible.
