Early 2026

We had a great start to 2026.  We started it off by seeing the Broadway in Chicago production of Phantom of the Opera.  An incredible show!

Oliver have to miss the show because of a Robotics Tournament... at which he won an award!

Gloria was busy with lots and lots of volleyball, both at school and in a travel league.

Luke had a number of fun musical performances, including his jazz band concert.  

The sax is Luke's ax.  

Happy Valentine's Day, Amy!

The boys and I sent to Poor Phil's for Oyster's for my birthday.

Fun game of cards.  

More Volleyball!

Valentine's Day / Birthday fun.

Luke's jazz band got to perform at one of the City's most celebrated jazz clubs.

The high school had an assembly that Governor Pritzker attended; and Luke got to meet him!

Phagwah/Holi2026. Amy made a number of great Indian dishes for us to celebrate.

Never mind the Irish shirt on the Indian holiday.
