Charity Fundraiser

Hey guys!

It's been a couple years since I did a marathon for charity. Yes... a GAMING marathon. 24 hours of gaming for kids.

I normally don't ask for charity donations, I figure if you do that kind of thing you probably already know how much you're giving to whom... but I'll give this a shot anyway.

If you'd like to contribute, please follow the link:

(had to fix the link and it's not a link right now. I'm working on it DMC)

This was supposed to happen across the country on October 20th, but I had to work that weekend (it's been busy). It looks like I may actually get this weekend off! Yay!

I plan on starting 5AM Saturday 10/27/12.

Since Dena is on my team, she and I are allowed to split hours when we game together. 24 hours of not-stop gaming is really kind of impractical in my adult life...

I think we'll likely play several games: Guild Wars 2 and Mass Effect 3. We might get in some Torchlight II and Star Wars the Old Republic as well if Dad wants to play.

If nothing else, we'll have some fun, but hopefully we can help some kids too.

Well, thanks for reading!

Update:
Due to a really bad back Saturday morning, I'm afraid I was unable to sit for an extended period and had to postpone the event. I got up at 5AM, and realized I wasn't going to make it 30 minutes, much less 24 hours. I'll have to work out a future date for this event with Dena...

Angel or Devil?

Kids. They are too funny. I had to share this one with all of you. We went to Mass today and tried to sit inside for once. Everything was great, until Jack noticed the missal in the pew had these nice orange and yellow squares or something in the illustration on the cover. He was conviced they were dominoes, but that is a word he struggles to say. So, at an especially quiet time in the Mass he looks at me and says, "damn-yous! damn-yous!" We both had a mix of embarassment and laughter. Only out of the mouth of a 2 year old! We went to the back of the church soon after that. :)

Happy Birthday Jack

Here are some photos from Jack's 2nd birthday day, and party. He was so excited he was telling everyone happy birthday! We 'filled' his room with balloons while he was sleeping. He was so excited to wake up to balloons! Jack wanted to pose with his new favorite toy - Buzz! They are still usually only separated at nighttime (too tempting to make noise all night). Oh, and that is his 'camera' smile. He uses it whenever he sees the lens pointed at him. So cheesy! Blowing out the candles on his Spiderman cake. Yes, all the other stuff is Thomas the Train. He likes what he likes. Jack wasn't about to let Emerson go home without a hug. It was a hug, not an attack. Promise!

Easter

Easter has come and gone, but finally I have some photos uploaded! We had a nice time and enjoyed spending time with Grandma and Grandpa C, Antie and Uncle John Tressell , and Uncle Robert, Aunt Natalie, and Emerson. Jack really enjoyed hunting for eggs (for a few days he asked us to hide them again so he could find them), but was a bit disappointed when they no longer had animal cracker in them. Anyway better late than never. I'll put all the photos on Flickr . :) Painting Eggs They actually sat still for three seconds! Family Photo - Easter 2011 Until next time...

Five Boys Happy Home
