Responsibility

Well, after trying to rack my brain to remember the company that has come out with a cool set of commercials, I finally saw it again while watching some football with Kenzie (napping).

I am a huge fan of these new commercials by Liberty Mutual Insurance. They are titled "Responsibility" Take a look at a couple...pay close attention:

1st Edition


2nd Edition



This is a great example of how just doing something for someone, could have an impact on someone else, who in turn does the same...and so on. Notice how they tie it all back to the first character in the commercial.

Introducing Quicksilver

Here is Maddie's 2007 Soccer Team...They are named Quicksilver! As you can see they have a lot of fun!!!

Not quite there

Well, it is 10:20 and I "should" be back in Seattle. However, I am in
a hotel room in east Rutherford, NJ. After 3 long hours on the Tarmac
in white plains, our flight was cancelled. We scrambled to figure out
a new way home. We were able to find tickets on a direct flight from
Newark to Seattle...now we just had to get to NJ and find a hotel. We
contemplated a rental car and even the train but decided on a town car
for the 1hr ride.

So, off to bed so we can get up at 5am est to catch our new flight
home. Hopefully the thunderstorms get out of here!!

Cuttin' it close

Well...travel is fun isn't it? I left Monday am at 7:00am for NYC for
a 6 he meeting today. Got to the airport in plenty of time and are
now stuck on the tarmac. Normally not a big deal, but we only have a
45min lay over.

Wish me luck that we take off in time to make the flight.

Father/Daughter Weekend

Here is an early weekend update on father/daughter weekend. Steph and a few of her girlfriends headed over to Miracle Ranch for the Hope Women's Retreat, so Maddie, Kenzie and I are hanging out. We kicked off the weekend with Dinner with nana and papa J at Elliott Bay in the Junction. After that we headed up to a stamp signing at Friends Craft store. I am not 100% clear on the details around this, but basically there was a 7 year old that designed her own stamp. Everyone loved it, so they produced the stamp. This night was her "stamp signing" event! Maddie really enjoyed it. Here is a posting on westseattleblog about it. We headed up, watched a movie, made some crafts, read some books, and then went to bed.

KK woke up a bit early :-) and so I climbed into her bunk with her and she dozed off again for another hour. About 7, Maddie got up and we read one of her new library books then maddie said, "Dad, can we go out for breakfast please?" So, we packed up and headed up to Charleston for ""Minnie" Mouse Pancakes. After getting my morning Ladro, the girls wanted to just play in the garage with their bikes and scooters. I was surprised to see that KK can now pedal her tricycle now. Probably time for a helmet for her! I let them run wild in the garage for a bit, then Maddie came to the door with her baseball mit, "Wanna play catch?" Tough to resist that. This was the first time the gloves have been out since T-ball. First throw was a fastball, up and in! Serious, she really had some juice on it. For anyone that has seen t-ball, throwing is a challenge, but she has really improved.

Well, that is it for now. Next stop is Barnes and Noble story time....Peter Rabbit. Hopefully after that it is nap time :-)

New Blog Alert!!!

Over the weekend, we received an email from Jeff and Amy that they have made the leap into blogger world and have setup their own blog site. You can get to their site at:

http://thelakewoodjensens.blogspot.com

It has been our pleasure to post update on Jeff, Amy and family over the last year. The blog really opened our eyes to see how effective the blog site can be to get the word out. We will probably still have a post from time to time about the relatives down south, but feel free to bookmark their site as well to get all the latest info. Sounds like they are planning some updates in the next week after Amy has another MRI.

Enjoy!!
