Hi everyone!

Greetings from the Naperville C'hams! Having tons of fun!

Quick catch up for those we haven't seen for a while. Tim is with Merrill Lynch now for 17 years as a Vice President/Administrative Manager in Chicago. Diane does everything under the sun. She's an "at home mom", coordinator for an art awareness program at the the kids' school, Saints Peter & Paul. The curriculum comes out of the Art Institute and the kids love it! Diane is also a member of the Christian Education Commission at our parish, St. Margaret Mary. She's a member of the "Team" for the RCIA program and most recently has launched her latest idea which is a newly formed family ministry at St. Margaret Mary, called "Sharing our Faith". She is also serving on the team of adults running a new program for teens at the parish called, "LIFE TEEN". Tim continues to sing in the Contemporary Choir of seventy at our parish and is also involved in the "LIFE TEEN" program as the music coordinator. He formed a band of eight musicians last fall and has had a terrific time providing music for the Teen Masses. (bass, drums, acoustic guitar and piano plus four vocalists - fun stuff). Tim and Diane both help organize the parish's "Theology on Tap" program, which is a Chicago area speaker/discussion series for young adults held during the summer.

Joey has started Karate! He thinks it's awesome! Basketball camp and T-ball coming up this summer!

Maura loves her art. She and Diane are currently having fun in their joint cartooning class on Saturdays. Maura is also in Brownies and takes piano lessons.

Our big excitement these days for those who don't know is the latest addition to our family. Danny cunninghamland.com came to live with us on Holy Saturday. Guess that makes it a truly blessed event! Danny is our now 12 pound, ten week old Border Collie. He's the best. We love him to pieces. We got Danny from a breeder in Roseville Illinois. He's a beautiful dog. His father was born and raised in Scotland and is one heck of a pretty animal. So, how did we come up with the name, Danny? Well, after pouring over lists of Scottish and Irish names for weeks, Danny was the first name we all liked and that cemented it. He looks like a Danny anyway. He can't wait to meet his cousins, Murphy, Sarah and Pat.

Well, I'm all choked up at this point having made our first contribution to the web-site. This is so cool! So long for now.

Love and best wishes to all,

Tim, Diane, Maura, Joe and Danny (woof)
