Thanks everybody!
We celebrated our 10th Wedding Anniversary this weekend! The whole afternoon and evening was arranged by me for Lisa as a surprise. First, there was a family trip with the girls to see Seussical the Musical at the FCC Theatre within the James J. Eagan Center.
“Oh, the thinks you can think” when Dr. Seuss’ best loved stories collide and cavort in this unforgettable musical caper! The Cat in the Hat is the host and emcee in this romp through the Seuss classics! Will the planet of Who survive? Will Horton pay attention to Gertrude? Will Mayzie ever return for her egg? Dr. Seuss’ beloved classic characters find themselves intertwined in an incredible crazy-quilt adventure, in which the power of imagination and the most miraculous “think” ever save the day!
Then the girls went to Mema’s house while we went to a jewelry store to get a special locket soldered shut. Unfortunately, this particular store couldn’t get the work done without damaging the contents, so we bought a new chain for the locket and headed back out again.
We drove around Creve Coeur Park for a short time and checked in briefly to our hotel room at Harrah’s.
For dinner we spent a while dining on the finest fondue at The Melting Pot. By the time we had eaten our fill, it was time to return to the hotel for the night. The room was a junior suite on the 9th floor and had a huge tub. There was also had a huge bed with a faux-canopy, a comfy couch, a desk, two chairs and a big television. There were matching bath robes, a huge mirror and a double sink.
What a great time!
It’s the time of year to wish you a Merry Christmas.

Happy Birthday mom!
Happy Birthday to Olivia! We had a fun party at the local civic center indoor pool. The kids had a great time.
Here are some images with Olivia’s name on them from over the last year or so.
We want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving! Here is a short history of our holiday that Linda shared with everyone right before we ate that I thought would be good to repost here.
The first Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621. Initially it was meant to be a fast day. The settlers at Plymouth Rock mostly recognized the way to give thanks in the form of prayer and abstinence from food. But the Wampanoag Indians, who were invited to join the Pilgrims for the 3-day celebration, contributed their own harvest traditions of dance, games and feasting. (Note the difference one little letter can make in your life!)
In 1777, all 13 colonies celebrated the day at once, after their victory over the British at Saratoga.
In 1789, President George Washington hailed the holiday and asked all Americans to celebrate and be grateful. After that year, it was celebrated sporadically until 1863 when President Abe Lincoln recognized Thanksgiving as an official Union feast day and
national holiday. He declared the day as a time to express thanks for the many blessings, despite the tragedies of our Civil War.In 1941, Congress made the fourth Thursday a national legal holiday to celebrate Thanskgiving.
I hope your Thanksgiving was a good as ours. God bless!
We celebrated Dad’s 61st birthday at Dave & Busters and had a great time!
As a Happy Birthday gift, I wanted to post a video of the latest and greatest news I’ve heard all day.
