Stupka Weekend

What kinds of activities do you want to do during our weekend?

I was thinking that we could do something for our deployed family members, like putting together care packages, shooting video of the weekend to make a short movie etc...

Anyone have any ideas for activities?

What about items for care packages?

When does everyone plan to arrive?

Cecilia's good news

Cecilia was recently awarded an Excellence Referral at Irving. She
was nominated by her math teacher, and in that nomination, he wrote:
"Cecilia is an excellent role model. She works very hard in class.
She is always showing positive leadership in the classroom."
Cecilia's name will be added to a brick display in Irving's main hall.

We are very proud.

Hey!

Thanks for signing up to the blog! Feel free to post whatever you'd like, new posts, comments, photos of your kids, etc.

Tristan is still a bit draggy, but he went to school today. Still not playing hockey though.

Tristan has mono

We found out last night that Tristan has mono. He woke up the Sunday after Christmas with a sore throat. The sore throat has never gone away. Last night, through a blood test, the dr determined that Tristan has mono. Thankfully, it seems to be a mild case. He's home from school today, but I'm hopeful that he begins to feel better soon.

Can someone send me Brandon's current email? Thanks! -Stacy

I bet you're wondering why I invited each of you here

After the holidays, the Burda side of our family began a weight-loss competition. Mike created a blog to enable us to keep track of our progress. Initially thinking that this blog would be only about our weight-loss triumphs, the blog has started to function as a way for all of us to keep in contact, and to keep up on our daily lives.

I began to wonder if a Stupka family blog couldn't help us all keep in touch more easily, especially as we are far flung geographically.

I'm looking forward to your posts.

Love,
Stacy
