Based upon the quality of food and the size of the servings I'm amazed that all of the people in this town aren't ginormous. It must be the heat and humidity of the summer that melts it all away.
Today's lunch was yummy. If you find yourself in a town with a Flying Fish location be sure to set aside one meal for a tasty sampling of their fare.
I'm looking forward to a late afternoon/early evening power nap before heading up the block to Beale Street for libations and Memphis Blues.

Memphis Tigers?
While the mascot may be the Tigers at the local university the Peabody hotel chooses to house ducks in its fountain (in the lobby). Every day the celebrated guests march from the elevator to the fountain only to return to their room via the elvator 6 hours later.
Here's what the bedtime parade looks like at 5 o'clock sharp!

Happy Birthday
We gave the boys' friend Nicole the gift that everybody wants - a day with the Janezic family. Her gift included round trip ground transportation, a meal, and a lift ticket at Grand Geneva. Fresh powder covered the slopes on Jan. 10 when we attacked the hill. Everybody improved their skills that day and for somebody that had never been on a ski lift before... way to go Nicole!

Cascade Mtn - Portage, WI
Lisa's Christmas gift list included a ski jacket, ski gloves, long underwear, and ski goggles. I wonder what Santa had in mind when he brought Lisa all of these items?
After a quick two hour ride to central Wisconsin, the family hit the slopes among the weekend crowds at Cascade Mountain - Where kids ski free! The boys went directly to the slopes as mom and dad hit the instructional area. Ninety minutes later we all jumped on a lift and worked our way down the slopes.
While we saw many wipe outs only a 'few' people exited the hill with the assistance of the ski patrol. We may have been sore by day's end but we did walk back the car under our own power. In short it was a successful day on the hill and a great day outdoors.
Can't wait til next week!

Here's a little video montage from Christmas Eve at the Cirino home. Austin could not have been a happier baby. :-)

Test Drive
Jacob took the new ride out for a spin. After strapping in it was all downhill from there.
Let the snowboarding season begin!

Knock at the door
The knock on our door this morning was from Santa's helpers at UPS. This was vastly different than the knock on the door at the Blagojevich home this morning.
Merry Christmas!

2008 IEA WAC
This is the look of Jack at work. The shirt, sport coat, and pants work well together...but what's with the look on my face?
I now sympathize with all those stars with respect to the paparazzi. Thankfully for all of us this presentation wasn't made at the beach in a thong!

Now that we've lost one tooth...
It must be time for the boys to take up SNOWBOARDING!
The gear is on the way. Look out below.
A quick vid of what the j-boys will be riding...

The grill
We ended the year with a rather large tailgate extravaganza. Hot chocolate, hot dogs, pizza, sweet potato caserole, turkey breasts and beef tenderloin... not to mention a few beers and a fire pit to round out the affair.
In the end it was the Wildcats winning big over Illanoy. While we don't know yet exactly where the Cats are heading this bowl season, we do know that the Illini are heading home.
It was great home season and we're already looking forward to next fall - more football, friends, and fun.
Go Cats!

Jacob's Tooth
There was a battle between Jacob's tooth and the bathroom counter top. It was a draw.
Both Jacob's tooth and the countertop chipped.
Ouch.

2008 Halloween
The day started in school with presentations as historical figures and ended with historical amounts of candy. The boys hit the streets for three hours and rounded up over 150 pieces of candy each. It's only a matter of time that their teeth resemble the teeth of the pumpkins they carved.
Trick or treat.

Benjamin Franklin
Jacob presented as Benjamin Franklin. I appears that the President has at least one fan in the class. :-)
2008 Halloween
Johnny Appleseed made an appearance at Woodscreek Elementary school. John also had duty as an MC for his classroom's presentations.

Twins (again)
For the last couple of years coaches and parents of their friends have counted on Jacob being the one with the glasses. That difference came to an end today.
Seeing that Jacob needed glasses it was only a matter of time before the 'benefit' of sharing of the same genes paid off for John.
In case you're wondering, John was really excited to get glasses.

Stay on the porch
If you can't handle playing with the twins, then you better just plan on staying on the porch. Jake suffered a bloody nose at the end of his visit today. Luckily none of the moms were around to overreact to his predicament.
Final score:
Twins 0
Jake 1

Go U NU
The Janezic boys were ready for game time. Unfortunately the Wildcats weren't quite as ready. After spotting the Spartans a few points (17!) the Wildcats did their best but the margin held.
Oh well. We had fun.
