Good trip to FL

My parents took Stephen and Kevin to their house for the weekso we got to go down and pick the boys up this weekend. It was good to be in Moss Bluff, and we all had fun spending time with my parents. We helped my dad burn a big pile of sticks and branches out in the field, which was fun (we even made a big "boom" with the gasoline we used to get the fire started :-), and relaxed in the evenings. Jacob drove much of the way down and back - he's a good driver, and hopefully he will get his license later this year.

All in all a good weekend. Now it's back to work and the we

Lots of stuff happening

My parents were up this past weekend, then they took Stephen and Kevin down to Florida with them. They were going to hang out, go to Homossassa Springs to see the manatee, and other fun stuff. Jacob got back from summer camp in time to spend a night in his bed, then Sue took him and Megan to SC to visit her sister. I stayed home to hold down the fort, and ended up getting sick (summer flu or something, yuck!). We still haven't gotten our big van back from the shop. What a busy summer...

Happy Father's Day!

Even though I feel like a heel because I didn't send my dad a card today was a good day. I gave my father a call and we talked for about 45 minutes, which was good. Megan and Kevin were the introductory "hosts" to our church service today - I only caught half of what they said, but posted the recording to the web so you could listen. They gave me the two perennial favorites: cologne and a tiè :-) I can't wait to wear a Mickey Mouse tie in to a meeting in the executive suite!

It was a good day otherwise - chilling at home while Sue and Megan went to a baby shower, grilling ribs, and watching TV in the evening - woohoo! Hope you had a good day, too...

Play-day at our house

Sue had a play-day for the boys and some their friends at our house today. Stephen's friends Andrew and Demolis came, and Kevin's friend Jason came. They had a lot of fun running around in the yard, playing hide-andgo-seek, jumping on the trampoline, and building stuff with Legos. They had a lot of fun! Isn't summer great?

Fun at the PDK airshow


The boys and I went on a Cub Scout outing to the Dekalb-Peachtree airport (PDK) for the annual "Good Neighbor" day and airshow. Even though it was hot out there we enjoyed seeing the airplanes on the ground, the cars and other things, and of course the show in the air. Stephen and Kevin got to meet a robot while we were walking around, and we went inside one of the Sea Stallion helicopters that was on display there. We saw Robert Swanson there, but didn't see any of our other fellow Cub Scouts. What a great day!
