So in Ryan’s last “update” post, he mentioned that the move combined with the pregnancy had led me to catch “some kind of bug.” Well it turns out that a bug actually caught me, and gave me West Nile Virus! I started feeling very tired the Saturday after we arrived, and that night began what [...]

Well, the folks that run Global Warranty Group seem to have their act together. The gentleman that I spoke to on Saturday night worked with me to have a local repair team come out and fix our A/C on the spot Sunday morning.
I’m happy to report that when you get the right folks involved, [...]

The AC is still broken, however I’ve been able to get in touch with some of the folks in charge of Global Warranty Group Inc. After making a call to a gentleman named Mike Ruffolo, I have gotten in touch with their COO Mr. Darryl Andrews.
Mr. Andrews says that he is going [...]

Megan is very pregnant and an extremely uncomfortable, warm, humid house is not a good thing at all. No problem, we have this handy dandy home warranty that came with our [...]

What a trip! We’ve officially landed in the greater Chicago area! It’s been a whirlwind of a week as Megan and I have been unpacking, painting, and of course working through it all!
Megan’s parents stayed with us for about 11 days to help unload, paint and get things ready to go at the [...]
So once again, we were up early to load and take off. More of the same… gas, bathroom, fast food.
However, around 10:30 (8:30 Pacific), my parents received a distressing phone call from my brother Mike. Today would be our beloved Bailey Rose’s last day on Earth. She given to me for my 8th grade graduation [...]
So after our sleepless night, we were up bright and early (read: 5am) to load the cars and get back on the road. Everyone was pretty exhausted, and the thought of more driving wasn’t exactly high on our lists of desires. But off we went…
The routine for the dogs was beginning to get easier, and [...]
The tedious process of sorting through, getting rid of, and packing our belongings is FINALLY over (thanks to the generous and priceless help of our family!). We loaded the moving van last Sunday, with the help family and a handful of friends from church, and spent the rest of the week living the simple life… [...]
We’ve just picked up a Roomba for the Barr family household. It is a fantastic little tool! For those of you that are not familiar with the iRobot Roomba, it’s a little electronic robot vacum.
Last night we picked up the Roomba at Coscto, plugged him in and then set it loose. It was pretty funny [...]
BOY!!!
Doc says he measures perfectly normal, and he has all his parts. We were excited and relieved to find out that A) he’s a he, and B) he’s very healthy. It was truly amazing to watch his little face come into view on the ultrasound screen (just the regular 2D kind), and the [...]
