Megan Goes to Bible Camp

Megan went to Bible camp with her confirmation group this past weekend. She said she had a great time, which she must of, because when she came home Sunday afternoon, she slept most of the afternoon!

The Bacon-ator!

The boys thought it would be a GREAT dinner to have a Wendy’s Bacon-ator. So, being the nice mom that I am, I took them to Wendy’s thinking a couple of bucks for a burger and I wouldn’t have to cook. Unfortunately, I could have bought them each a t-bone steak for what that burger cost. To say the least, it will be the last Bacon-ator that I ever buy!

Our Tootsie

My Tootsie is my Megan. I don’t know why I started calling her that, but I have for years. She is the daughter that I love more than anything in this world. She is kind and gentle, she likes to please, and she works very hard in school. Megan is a great daughter and I am proud to be her mom. I think that having a blog where she can read about her days as a journal will help her as she goes through her teenage years and create a great keepsake for her as she becomes a young adult.

Cross Country This Fall - 3K and 5K

Andrew ran for Cross Country last week. He ran for the Varsity Squad, so he had a 5K to run, which he was a little nervous about doing. He did great though. He kind of looks funny because he is built so much differently than the other runners. he is very “Buff” (I thinks that’s the word) while most of the runners are very lanky. I have to give him credit though, he is very good and dedicated. Last week he took 4th place and the week before he took 1st place. His athletic ability is outstanding. There are more pictures on the link to the right. Then, he spent Friday until Saturday in Apple Valley at a cross country meet. He ran for Varsity again, so it was another 5K. He said he did pretty good, but wasn’t sure what place his took because there were so many kids there running. He came home happy and with a new shirt and a new pair of Nike’s from shopping with his friends. Then Sunday night he stayed at Jordan’s house. It seems now that he is mobile with his scooter and/or his friends driving we never see him. He stops home to change or eat something and then it’s off with his friends. Next weekend, is boys weekend. They are going up to Northern Minnesota for their annual hunting trip. This is Andrew’s favorite trip with dad and grandpa.
