Monica and I get to meet one of our childhood hero's................

yes, it is Ronald McDonald!

Ronald stopped by our office with some Shamrock Shakes for everyone.

He came by my cube later to hang out and offer me the role as the new Hamburglar. I, of course turned him down as I have learned from my past mistakes with regards to breaking the law. Plus, I want to be a good role model for my Daughter and Stepson.

Monica's Baby Shower II

Monica had her second Baby Shower at Kayma and Jerpa's house. Many family and friends were in attendance.

Jerpa was the server for the Shower. He did a fantastic job making sure everyone had plenty to eat and drinks were constantly refreshed.
Monica is excited to open her gifts. I'm sure our Little Girl can't wait to sit in her new Bumbo.
Isn't Claire the cutest? She loves visiting Kayma and Jerpa because it means she can eat as much candy as she wants.

Monica's Baby Shower I

Monica had her first Baby Shower with prego sister, Nancy on March 15th at her Sister Lorena's. She had a lot of family there including her sister, Diana and Niece, Isabel who are visiting all the way from Texas.

The local Costco ran out of TP thanks to this fun game.

Monica shows off the handcrafted blanket she received.

One thing is for sure, our Daughter is going to have plenty to wear.

The Roselle Townsends go to the Chicago Bulls Game

Monica, Mason and I went to the Chicago Bulls Game vs. The Utah Jazz and former Illini Deron Williams.

The Bulls built a pretty good lead in the first half and despite being as crappy as they are came away with the victory.
I know it looks like we were far away but believe it or not we sat courtside (our camera is really old and makes things look far away than they actually are.)


As I said, the Bulls won but Deron tore up Heinrich for 18 points and 14 assists.

Mason Celebrated his 13th Birthday on Feb. 5th. Here he is showing off his new skateboard....now if it will only stop snowing he can give it a try.
