Career News

So I was up for shareholder at Prince Yeates & Geldzahler this year. On Thursday, I was voted in as a shareholder of the firm. Needless to say, I am stoked. It is a great firm and I work with great people. Thanks to Kristen and the kids for their patience during many long nights working over the last year or so.

Daniel Jones Cub Scout

So on December 12, 2007, Danny went to his first pack meeting as a new Cub Scout. Danny was so excited.

Here is Danny with some of the kids in his Den laying down the Cub Scout Oath. Good stuff.


That is one good looking Cub Scout. How can we expect the ladies to resist?


Here is Dan receiving his Bobcat award from Pack Leader, next-door neighbor and all-around great guy, Brett Simpson.

We are very proud of Dan. He is growing up to be a wonderful young man.

Danny's Birthday - December 3, 2007

So Danny turned 8 on December 3. We had a little family shin-dig with cake and presents. Kristen also had a friends party a couple of weeks later. We were going to go rock climbing over at Momentum near REI, but when we got there the attendant told Kristen that all of the kid's parent's had to sign waivers in order to climb. Unfortunately, Kristen hadn't gotten these waivers due to a misunderstanding. She asked me if I could quickly draft up a document to allow us to take responsibility for any injuries to the kids instead of the gym (i.e. an indemnity agreement). Of course, talented attorney that I am, I could have easily whipped out an iron clad, bullet proof contract such as this in a matter of moments. However, my pen was out of ink. Oh, and also, I didn't want to be personally/financially responsible for a bunch of 8-year-olds breaking their necks. In any event, here are some more photos of Danny's family birthday party...

Mikey's Unusual Pet

It was "Unusual Pet" Day in Mikey's kindergarten class last week. Mike won the award for "Most Creative Pet". He insisted on his monster having 11 eyes instead of just 9 and 8 feathers instead of just 4. This, combined with the fact that his pet won the Most Creative Pet award has proven to Mikey that more is always better. Anyway, here are some pics.

The creative genius and his creation (Dad helped a little, but added the last five eyes under protest).


Here is a picture of Mikey's little monster with Mom and Dad's little monster.


The kids put on a little song and dance program for the parents at the pet show. As you can see, this was Mikey's favorite part of the day.

Sweet Home Chicago!

So Kristen and I were in Chicago from October 10th through 14th. It was a great trip and we saw a lot of great sites. We haven't been back since returning from our missions 15 years ago so it was great to refresh old memories.
