Column of Christine: August 2009
http://columnofchristine.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
You can call me Chris. Not Christy. Just Chris. Thursday, August 6, 2009. Yes, she's older than I am! My sister Teresa's birthday is today. She turns 50. The picture below was taken on her birthday at our family reunion in Branson in 2004. She has a thing for old hats, Birkenstocks (she has the largest collection of them I've ever seen) and Bud Light, so this picture really captures the essence of her. She really is somebody's grandma now (Caden's) but it was still funny. Guess you had to be there. Spiri...

Column of Christine: June 2011
http://columnofchristine.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
You can call me Chris. Not Christy. Just Chris. Tuesday, June 14, 2011. Before those trips and since I've been back home it's been very busy at work. I leave work every day mentally (and sometimes physically) exhausted, but satisfied that I'm doing what I love and still learning new things all the time. We just passed the 10-year anniversary of the Wichita office of the company and as one of my co-workers aptly put it: "Sometimes frustrating; never dull.". Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Lazy Sundays at home.

Column of Christine: August 2011
http://columnofchristine.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
You can call me Chris. Not Christy. Just Chris. Wednesday, August 31, 2011. I was on vacation over the Fourth of July, but the rest of my family was at my sister Jenny's house for a surprise birthday party and fireworks. I love this picture of Zachary. I think he's a little bit excited about the fireworks portion of the evening! Caden looks like he's not quite sure yet. I heard they had a wonderful time and I'm sorry I missed it. My not-so-new great nephew, Micah. This one of Caden was taken outside in A...

Column of Christine: March 2010
http://columnofchristine.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
You can call me Chris. Not Christy. Just Chris. Monday, March 29, 2010. A couple of weeks ago (OK, almost a month ago) I went down to Oklahoma City with my mom and sisters for our annual girls’ weekend. Jenny studied on the way down (she has to keep up her perfect 4.0 GPA in grad school, you know). As usual it was filled with lots of laughter and some really good food. It really was divine. We also ate at Iron Starr barbeque and it was delicious as always. Sorry no pictures of that. Tuesday, March 2, 2010.

Column of Christine: February 2011
http://columnofchristine.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
You can call me Chris. Not Christy. Just Chris. Tuesday, February 1, 2011. My niece, Katie, and I went down to Oklahoma City in January to see a production of "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," for which my nephew, Christopher, designed the costumes. I have to say, the denim cape he fashioned for Hedwig was my favorite. It's genius what he did with the bib overalls! He also styled the wig with wings you see in this picture. It's always fun to go down to OKC for a visit and this time I got to meet the newest me...

Column of Christine: Harvest
http://columnofchristine.blogspot.com/2011/07/harvest.html
You can call me Chris. Not Christy. Just Chris. Thursday, July 14, 2011. For the first time in many, many years I was in Ellinwood during harvest. I took Zachary (and Katie and Victoria took Caden) and we headed to the field. I didn't ride in the combine, but the boys did and they had a great time. Here's a picture of them in air-conditioned comfort riding with Ryan while the rest of us sweated it out in the sunshine. What's a trip to the field without a trip to the Dairy Queen?

Column of Christine: January 2012
http://columnofchristine.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
You can call me Chris. Not Christy. Just Chris. Monday, January 23, 2012. Santa came to see us on Christmas Eve. He hasn't been there in person for the past few years, so we were really excited to see him. Especially Teresa. She always gets really excited when Santa walks in. He spent a lot of time with us and we all got something out of his special bag. But before he passed out presents, Zachary had to get something off his chest. He started by saying, "I have something to tell you.". Santa brought me a...

Column of Christine: October 2009
http://columnofchristine.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
You can call me Chris. Not Christy. Just Chris. Friday, October 16, 2009. My nephew, Christopher, is in a production of "RENT" at the Pollard Theatre in Guthrie, Oklahoma. Guthrie is the neatest town and although I'm slightly biased, the production of "RENT" is quite superb. Here are some photos that I swiped off the Pollard's Facebook page. The first one is a promotional photo of the cast. Christopher is on the stairs (halfway up) with his. Yes, he's sporting an actual mohawk. I'm looking forward to...

Column of Christine: July 2011
http://columnofchristine.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
You can call me Chris. Not Christy. Just Chris. Monday, July 18, 2011. It's been 20 years. Her story is that she'd taken an apple to work earlier that week, along with the knife to cut it up, and just hadn't removed it yet. Right. It remains one of my favorite "going to college" memories. Thursday, July 14, 2011. This just makes me FEEL cooler. What's a trip to the field without a trip to the Dairy Queen? Well, if you're in Ellinwood, you'd have to drive a bit to find one these days. So we did the ne...
