1st Day of 2nd Grade

Today the girls started 2nd grade. They didn't seem as excited as they were for Kindergarten and for 1st grade. It has kind of become a bit routine now - getting back into the same routine of getting up at 6 am to catch a 7 am bus - going to a now familiar school but just a different classroom - getting off the bus at 3. Both girls seemed more excited when they got home. I don't think they'll be quite so excited tomorrow - I fear the homework will begin.

Tour De Cure

This September, I'm riding in the Tour de Cure to raise money for Diabetes research. Click here to go to my fundraising page. I still need to get a photo or two up there. But I really want a cool action shot of me riding - and that's something I don't have...yet. Stay tuned.

Vacation Time

We're going on vacation! We are headed north to St. Louis for a once-in-a -lifetime opportunity: to celebrate my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. My sister and her family and a number of uncles and aunts will be there as well. We looking forward to seeing them and the celebration. But we aren't looking forward to the drive: 2 days. First day we travel 13 or so hours to Jackson, TN to stay overnight with Sheri's folks. And then another 5 hours to St. Louis the next morning. We will be visiting our Jackson people for a few days on our way back.
Anyway, it's good to get away for awhile.
