For those of you who haven't seen our beautiful new stadium... here's a shot from behind homeplate.


Also here's a great shot of Gretchen and Katrina enjoying the game together.

Great Weekend - Part 2 - GO CARDINALS!

Mother's Day 2006 and Lutheran Day at the New Busch Stadium a.k.a. Baseball Heaven. We made a total day of it by riding downtown on the MetroLink. Gabe got a kick out of all the tunnels. Sat right behind homeplate in the new stadium. Have to admit the new digs of the Cardinals are gorgeous! Gabe did the whole game day thing... hot dogs, cotton candy, 5 trips to the bathroom, cheering, the wave,....EVERYTHING! It was an absolute blast! We sure made some memories today! Oh, by the way, the Arizona Diamondbacks won 7-6, but we had a great time anyway.

Great Weekend - Part 1

This weekend brought a visit from Kate and Nathan and the boys... so we all had a great time hanging out together and doing fun things. First, we celebrated Leon and Nathan's 30th birthdays with a great Burger Bash on Friday night. A little belated, but lots of fun.
Saturday morning, bright and early, Ed took Gabe fishing for the first time at the Fountain Lakes Pond. I went along to document the outing. The new "Spiderman" pole Papa bought Gabe worked beautifully. No fish to keep on this trip.. but one that got away whose story got larger each time it was told!
On Saturday night we took both boys to the band concert at LHS. Gabe liked all the percussion and the number from "Joseph and Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" the best. Asher just liked the lights and the noise.

All Grown Up

Just last weekend we had the final play of the season... "You Can't Take It With You" was a huge success. Gretchen directed it and Jesse was a major role in the cast. Hard to believe that just 10 years ago he was the little ring bearer in her wedding! He's graduating in about 2 weeks here... and we are all VERY proud of him. So this blog is for Jesse.. the little boy who grew up and who we know will do great things someday!

More Spring Pretty Things

Things seem to be blooming everywhere I look! Thought I'd bore you with a few more.... I don't care how many times I see flowers in the spring - they always seem like a brand new miracle!

Pool's open!

As of 48 hours ago, our pool is open. Freezing cold, but open! It doesn't look quite this good yet, but within another day or two it will! I am so glad summer is almost here. I love it when the pool is open and even if I don't always get in it... I love to sit by it with my feet in the water or lie on a chaise lounge and read a book beside it! Ahhhhh summer! Only 10 more days of school... counting finals! yahooooooo!
