I have been very busy as of late and have not had any time to devote to this site for awhile.  Things are going very well for my family.  The recession has not been as hard on us as many people so that is a good thing.  Max is in basketball this year and loving it.  He has also started school at a new school called St. Bridgets and has been doing very well.  Oxana is now an RN at Swedish American Hospital in Rockford and has been enjoying the challenge of it.  And I have been doing the IT thing as always.  Thanks for visiting!
