Isn't the first joke a 3 year old learns great?!?!? Of course don't forget to knock in the air each time you say "Knock Knock"!!!
Of course after several days of hearing this joke multiple times...well you get the idea. I tried to teach her a new joke (Knock Knock of course) and now I have a two joke pony!

Boo who?
You don't have to cry about it! (Endless 3 year old chuckles)

My Little Trooper

This is a picture of Lexi from a month or so ago. I feel absolutely horrible today as she had a check-up to get ready for Pre-School and it was realized that she was missing some of her immunizations. She unded up with a finger prick which determined that she is anemic and 5 (yes I said 5) shots. Two in one leg and three in the other. The part that I feel the worst about is that I didn't attend the appointment with Jenn and Lexi. Since this was supposed to be a routine trip to get paperwork filled out I didn't re-arrange my work schedule. Instead I rushed out of the house, after watching the shuttle land (Congrats NASA, nice to have you back) and drove off to work. Granted I did have a semi-important meeting with my manager and was introducing a speaker at a corporate event over the lunch hour, but those things were easy to either reschedule or find someone to do for me. I kind of feel like I let my daughter down. Of course, like any good over compensating father I snuggled her on the couch while eating Cheese Pizza and watched Pooh's Heffalump Movie. The moral to this is and forever will be to me that FAMILY COMES FIRST!!!
Now on to the new vehicle that my daughter has named "Velma the VUE". Click on the link and it will take to to Saturn's website for the VUE. The Mavin family vehicle looks very similar to the one on the main page. I highly recommend doing this type of shopping before going to the dealership. It makes the process some much simpler in my opinion.
Anyway, I wish you all the happest of times and remember to love your family!
Cheers!

Summer???

Well, I now have about 3 weeks of summer left. Last Thursday, 7/28, was the last night for my summer class. I am now a master at the Dynamics of Negotiations. Of course, maybe not a complete master as I got a B+ in the class. Just shy of "master" status!
I then celebrated completing my 5th of 15 MBA classes by purchasing a Saturn VUE. Other than a slight electrical issue with the sunroof, we absolutely love our VUE! It is not quite a Lexus RX 400 hybrid, but...that will come with the post MBA promotion that I'm bound to get. Right???
Now, comes my 3 weeks of freedom. We have many happy family memories to create the next few weeks. We are traveling to Chicago in two weeks to see my brother-in-law's girlfriend off for the school year to pursue her Masters' degree in dance in New York state. Jenny we wish you well! We are then going to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago with Uncle Jason. I'm sure Lexi will have a blast as she just adores her Uncle Jason.
The next weekend we are celebrating our 10th anniversary, only about 2 months late. We are going to a very nice looking B&B in Mineral Point, WI. It should be a very wonderful and much needed 3-day weekend with my lovely wife!
Then my summer effectively comes to an abrupt end when classes start again in late August!
I'll try to get pictures of the new VUE out for all to enjoy.
Cheers!
