February 28, 2014: Had an absolute blast at The Big Event tonight! Our church does a great job at thanking its volunteers and leaders. Thanks for the great pics as well!  #dudewheresmylimo

February 27, 2014:  Spoke at a conference in Dallas, flew home via Chicago (great view!) and a surprise pickup at the airport by the girls. Good to be home!

February 26, 2014: Travel day to Dallas! Got the super-extended legroom exit row seat… and I took a power nap in the afternoon on this incredibly inviting and comfortable bed. In my upgraded suite. Perfect.

February 23, 2014: That moment when your 3 year old painstakingly builds a tower… for the 1 year old to destroy it.

February 21, 2014: Took the kids to the Children’s Museum for a long lunch with the Russells today before heading down to IUPUI for meetings. The girls had a blast! Excited to have a membership this year.

February 18, 2014: Long travel day full of a few delays and a re-route to Fort Smith, Arkansas.  Had a nice dinner at Thai City in Siloam Springs after work. Back home tomorrow!

February 14, 2014: Happy Valentine’s Day! Jen and I did fondue after putting the kids to bed. Fun night in after the fresh snowfall.

February 13, 2014: Lunch with Cameron at Thai Kitchen for the 2nd Valentine’s Day in a row (purely coincidence). Date night with Jen, Butler Basketball vs Creighton.  We were down 1 with 20 seconds left. Tough loss. Got to see Trip (Blue III) though, so that was a bonus!

February 10, 2014: Sometimes you end up driving around for 45 minutes to find a local coffee shop to support (since Hearthstone closed) and they are all closed as well… so you end up at the Starbucks right by your house.  Oh well, any time with her is a date night success!

February 9, 2014: Still not feeling 100%… but come on, it’s the Olympics!

February 8, 2014:  Long day traveling home.  I went to bed not feeling well, and Em and I woke up sick in the middle of the night.  Em vomited several times on the trip home, but we are home and so far A and J are feeling good still.  Oy.
