Famille Du Pentium

Last week was Spring Break for Marla & the kids.  Mike had to work.  So Marla took the kids to Starved Rock, south of Joliet for a mini-vacation including some hiking and playing games in the lodge great room in the evening.  Pictures are HERE.

Another Random Pic…

Just a random pic… Justin playing drums.

So as you can see, I have done a lot of catching up with this blog:

Hanukkah 2012: http://famille.org/?p=1295

Monster Jam 2013: http://famille.org/?p=1302

Enjoy!

No spring would be complete without a trip to the Allstate Arena for Monster Jam, which we did in February.  Here are the pictures.

Here’s the Trombone section of the Middleton Band playing a trombone solo, Attack of the Slide Trombones.

Still catching up, here Ethan performed You Can Count On Me in honor of Mr. Gilbert, who passed away in 2012.

No, we didn’t skip Hanukkah this year… I’ve just been slow about posting stuff. OK I haven’t been posting at all lately.  But I’m catching up now.

Pictures from Day 8 include the blazing menorahs and the kids playing dreidel are HERE.  More posts to come.

Well hello! Surprise! This blog is still alive!

About two years ago, Aaron started playing Minecraft by himself, single player mode.  This summer, he asked me to set up a Minecraft multi-player server on one of my Linux boxes, so I did.  Then I joined.  Then Ethan and Justin joined.  Then our next door neighbors joined, too.  Now, we have a little neighborhood with houses, walkways, a library, and it’s all surrounded by a moat.

I went back and organized the snaps I had been saving from our world, and put them in time order in a photo gallery.  So you can now see the development of our little world yourself!

Enjoy our Minecraft World.

Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be.
