Dear William Christopher Whitworth,

So I did the math the other day and I realized that it's been roughly 8 years since I've seen my brother for any good period of time. And since the complex where he is staying is hard to get the mail to its desired recipient, I thought I'd try another method to get in touch with my brother, Chris Whitworth (William Christopher Whitworth). I hope that he, like most of us, Google's himself at some point and stumbles upon my blog.

So...

Dear Chris,

I hope that things are going well in Jersey, and I just wanted to drop you a little note once a week to give you an update on where I'm at in life, so that you know we all miss you and can't wait for you to join our family again.

Rachel turned 3 this week, you would like her, she is very sweet but full of attitude so she is a blast to be around. She keeps thinking that she is 5 years old, because we had 3 birthdays for her 3 year old birthday, so she's kind of confused.

Matthew (the youngest), is getting so big, so fast - we can't capture it fast enough. He continues to torment his sister - and that makes him a little brother I guess.

This morning we got about 3 inches of snow, which is kind of annoying seeing as how spring was supposed to be here! UGH! The snow was almost completely gone, so that means we get to go through break up all over again.

Mom and Dad were supposed to go to Maryland, but they got stuck in Alaska due to Mt. Redoubt erupting over and over again, that all flights were canceled. So they had to vacation in state. I feel very bad for them, they had all kinds of plans that will now have to wait until the fall.

Well - I hope that you find these letters some how and understand that we miss and LOVE you very much bud. You're in our prayers.

Love - Your little Brother,

Greg

Rachel Turns 3

, originally uploaded by Greg2448.

Well, another day has gone by, and another year has as well. Rachel, our little girl, is now 3 and is continuing to look older and older.

She was so excited about it being her birthday, but she was also a little coi, but she had a great day all together.
My Tahoe wasn't working so my father-in-law and his family came over and wished Rachel a happy birthday - and watched her open her big present: A BIKE. She loved it and almost ran me over with it.

Matthew took a ride on it as well, we'll have to get him one this summer I'm sure.

Spinning

Well,

This is just a short post about the kids. They have been acting silly again, but this time we caught their cuteness on tape. So without further a due, here are the kids simply spinning and giggling.

Snow Day

Hey Everyone,

We got about 7 inches (as of now - it is still falling) of the white fluffy stuff. As we looked out the window Karen and I knew that today was the perfect day to introduce Matthew to sledding because the flakes were so big (the flakes are usually larger at warmer temps). So we bundled them up (I say we, but Karen did most of that - thanks babe), headed out the door to play in the snow. Rachel loved it! She ran around and started throwing snow balls, that weren't actually snow balls since the snow wasn't wet enough to compact it. But we have about a 10 - 15 degree slope that allows for a decent sledding hill for youngsters.

So check out the video below of the fun, and check out the pics HERE!

Windows is Learning

Just wanted to let you guys know that Windows 7 is looking like Windows is waking up to reality. Mac is stealing the show and Vista’s marketing mishap ( make that a lack of marketing ), enabled consumers to only hear what techies released during the beta versions. Well Windows seems to be listening to complaints and has begun releasing Alpha versions of its new OS set to be released in the near future. Here are 30 of the top upgrades to Windows 7.

Thank You Everyone

Thank you everyone for your birthday wishes and I wish everyone a HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

MSI Party

So my new company that I work for was generous enough to throw a 'Holiday Party' this past weekend for all of the employees at Alyeska resort. So after checking in to our room we went to the party and enjoyed jazz music, Pepsi from the bar, a magic show, and Karaoke from the staff. It was a great time and great way to get to know the staff better. Check out the photos.

I would just like to say thank you to Laurie, Lana, Grant, and Shelley for either putting it on or working to give MSI a great weekend. Thank you.
