Well Drew did it! He had his first day of pre-school!!! It went great for him. Sarah dropped him off around 8:50 and she said he was a little teary eyed. He could sense that she was leaving him. But the teachers were good and immediately had him get his [...]
We held Josh Peterson’s 30th birthday party at our house last night. It was a surprise party so everyone was hush hush about it for weeks. Steve and Darla took Josh out to eat while we all setup and got things ready in our basement. Many friends and family came and hung [...]
Rodney and I went to the Cardinals/Cubs games on Friday and Saturday at the new Busch Stadium and had a blast. The Cardinals won both games, Saturdays ending being an exciting one where Gary Bennet had a walkoff double. We got their real early for both games and had a good time watching [...]
We visited my parents house last night in Manito, and boy does it sure look like a new house. Over the summer they had a pipe break while they were on vacation. No one found it for 4-5 days and it absolutely flooded their entire house. All flooring in the main level [...]
