It's Been Awhile

Well I guess you could say that we have been busy, or just remiss in updating our blog. I will say that our lives have been extremely complex and busy with 4 kids in the house and never a dull moment.

Some highlights:

Zack move out and then moved back in and is still trying to figure out what he wants to do with his life.

Kaylah has a serious boyfriend (Cory) and has spent most of her year with him.

Insa has been here for a full school year and it is now almost time for her to go back home to her family in Germany. (A school year goes really fast)

Emma has been very busy with dance, theatre, swimming and now she wants to do horseback riding.

Corena got really involved in Yoga, and now is really involved in Texas Hold'em

I am still working on my MBA, trying to get a presentation complete on my creation on Fusion Testing as well as focus on my career at Mx Logic.

The whole family went to Orlando for a vacation including Eddie and Heather and Mom and Dad T, it was a great time staying at Disney and then relaxing at the house.

I finally took the plunge and bought a motorcycle (Triumph America), and feel like I have finally hit my mid life crisis.

Corena is planning on hitting the job market, when Emma goes back to school this fall, after she switches schools back to Southeast Christian.

And of course we all have our everyday things that come up to keep us busy. Drop us a line and I will get some new photos up for everyone to enjoy.

Lot's going on in the past month or so!

Hey Everyone interested in our family, there has been a lot going on the past few weeks. Insa has settle in well and I just taught her how to create her own blog so check it out at insaincolorado.blogspot.com. Emma has been off-track for the past 3 weeks and it has been more difficult that we expected in keeping her busy.

Kaylah, Zack and Insa have all been in high school for a month or so now and all are doing well.

We have been hiking a lot and last weekend we hiked down Vail mountain and had a great time, and now we are all awaiting ski season! Bring on the snow.

We all hope everything is well with all our friends and family and look forward to talking to you all soon. Drop us a line and take care!

Love the Tischart's!

Insa Arrives!

Hey Everyone;

Insa arrived last week and it has been great getting to know this lovely young lady. She starts school tomorrow after a quick 10 days here after arriving from Germany last Thursday. Here is a video of Insa enjoying a swim at the pool with Emma. It was very hot the first week Insa was here with temperatures over 100f, so the pool was a welcome sight for all of us.




Look for some new pictures to be uploaded later this week. See you all soon!

Some other pictures from the past few months

Vacation Fun at Cedar Point

Here is a video I took while riding a roller coaster during our summer vacation at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. We had a lot of fun riding the rides on our drive back from Canada.

Enjoy :) I had to sneak the camera on!

Emma's Christmas Pageant

Hey Everyone;

Here is some video I took of Emma singing during her Christmas pageant. It was a lot of fun and Emma did great.

Getting Close to Christmas

Greeting's from Colorado. Christmas is closing in and we are all getting excited about Christmas day. We are all missing our family at this time of year but just couldn't swing it with all the trips we already have had to make. Last night we had our annual Christmas party for all my employees and had another great time. We did the gift exchange and steal game but it just is not the same as doing it with our families and the fun that we have.

In honor of the greatest Christmas game and the greatest present ever submitted I have included a picture of the Chill Wizard, may it last forever :)

To all our friends and family Merry Christmas, we hope to keep the Blog up to date more, and will be putting some videos and pictures from Christmas up on Tuesday.

First Post from Colorado

Hey Everyone;

We are doing great down in the mid-west and really enjoying life. Mom and Dad are here right now and having a good time. We are about to head out to Denver and see some sites. Zack has a new girlfriend Sarah, Kaylah is on the honor roll and Emma is just a ball of energy. We just started a new company called EZJaCK investments and Corena is looking into starting a Photography studio. Work continues to go well and the company is doing great: www.mxlogic.com to check us out. I will be travelling to Vietnam at the end of May and we all should be home to Canada for a couple weeks in the summer. I will be putting up some webpages and such to keep everyone in touch very soon. Miss you all and thank you for your continued support and love.
