Motorcycles and...... 8-31-09

Today is one year that my brother Daniel had his motorcycle accident and he is doing great after a year. He has had one heck of a year in rehab and hospitals. But he is grateful that he recuperated so fine.

Good Luck Daniel in the future, and be careful with those motorcycles.

Wedding Memories 8-28-09 Belia & Andy

Andy & Belia are now Mr. & Mrs...... We had a beautiful time at the ceremony and at the reception. Stefan was asked to do some video taping of the evening. Whatever he decided that needed to be taped. I also did some taping, but mostly I took pictures (as usual). Suzia was also taking a lot of pictures. These are some of the moments I captured on film (not film anymore but CD). You get the picture.. right...

UPDATE to Billiards FINAL 2009

YEAHHHH YEAHHHH, Karen & Steve's team won 1st place for the summer session.

Last full day before SCHOOL 2009

I went with the grandkids and Suzia & Karen to the Elmhurst Art Museum.... Well let's just say we are NOT Art appreciators. We got thru the whole museum in about 15 minutes. I guess a better place would be for the kids to be able to TOUCH this and TOUCH that, oh well. (I am sure glad that we came on a day that was free also and not have to pay to have done this quick thing). It was some exposure to some culture anyways. After the Museum we went to a park and the kids enjoyed themselves a lot more here. I brought along the electric scooters that we have and the regular scooter. Most of the kids took their turn riding around the park. The weather was great also. We munched on Kabanosy and snacks and juices. Time to go home around 4pm. Stef & Karen have their final Billiards tournament for the summer session tonight. (Hope they win). Maddie, Stevie & Lily will be spending the evening with us tonight.

Happy 11th Birthday Morgan L. in Lake Zurich 8-18-2009

A very Happy Birthday to you. Sto Lat and we hope that you have a fun day with Babcia & Dziadzia also.

Koy is doing fine....

Koy awake after surgery.

Hi dad, how you doing?

Julia making sure she is "safe" to see dad.

Pre-op preparations.

Just in case you were all wondering how Koy is doing.... after his surgery. He is doing great. He does have to wear this protective neck brace while outdoors away from the house. This is mainly for other people to "Be careful". Around the house he does not wear it. He can drive with this on, and he could be in a car also.

He had neck surgery done on Suzia's Birthday August 5, to repair a herniated disc in his neck. Any other questions, ask him...

Port Washington, Wisc Sun 8-16-09

There was a Maritime Festival in Port Washington, Wisconsin this weekend. Suzia, Koy, Ela, Julia, Stevie, Stefan and myself we all drove to go and enjoy the festival and the sights of the Tall Ships. The weather, we just lucked out, it drizzled on the way there and it rained on the way back home. While we wer there it was just foggy and cloudy and a little cooler than we expected it to be that day. All in all we had a great time. We got to "board" the Madeline ship. We got to take a closer look at all the ropes and sails and wheels and etc. Koy wore his protective gear in the van, I guess my driving has him concerned. No, that is not right, it is just for his protection that he wears that neck brace for a few more weeks after surgery. We packed a lunch for us all and enjoyed it on the deck while overlooking the tall ships.


Hey, that Pirate is going to cut my ears off.....

That's one heck of a big ship.
I AM the Captain.

Hey do you see that? WOW.

As the Captain, what I say , goes..... so go there???

Now what did the co ordinates say 30 feet south or was that 40 feet???

Dziadzia with his eagle eyes found this container and Suzia opened it up.

Climbing back up , from the find.

What a beautiful view from up hear at the Upper Lake Park.

Taking in the sights.

At the playground.

Ela & Julia making music together.

Okay , you big boys, play nice and share.

Suzia and Koy do some Geocaching whenever they get a chance. Well we went on some hunts while we were up in Wisconsin. This was Stefans' and mine first search. Well Stefan found it, and we signed our names inside on the booklet provided. Maybe, I think we are hooked on this game now. We also stopped at this huge playground in the Upper Lake Park, around Port Washington. As you can see the "kids" had fun.

We stopped at Pizza Hut on the way home and that was our full day today.
