Busy Day

10 - October

It was a busy day! First, John had marching band practice. Then, Andy picked him up and took him to the Department of Motor Vehicles where he took and passed his driver’s test. Higher insurance, here we come!

After that, we drove to Cape Girardeau with John to visit the Southeast Missouri State University farm. We learned a lot about their Animal Science Pre-Veterinary program. Then, we picked up Laura for her Fall Break and drove back to Columbia.

It was a busy day, but John has more options to consider, and Laura is home even if it is only until Sunday! Now, it is time to relax with a Great Pumpkin Ale at Flat Branch Pub & Brewing and catch up with our kid.

Gotcha Day!

09 - September

Happy Gotcha Day to Colonel Cornelius von Frankenberger-Whiskers III (otherwise known as Jim, Jimmers, Jimmer Jims, Jimmy, Jimothy, Jim McJim, Jim Bim, Bubs, Bubbers, etc.)!

When you wandered up to Laura two years ago, I am sure that you had no idea what you were getting yourself into, but here you are. You are a ping-pong ball chasing, sleep on your back, take up more than half the bed, desk sleeping, tv watching, box sitting house panther. You are a true crazy toon, but we love you anyway. Somehow, the Cat Distribution System knew that we were ready for you. It has been a fun-filled (and sometimes frustrating) two years. We love you Big Bubs, and we are happy to call you ours.

Middle School Night

09 - September

It was Middle School Night at the Hickman High School football game. Eighth-grade students from three middle schools joined the marching band on the field for pre-game. There were nearly 300 kids on the field!

It was another great performance by the Hickman Marching Band, and it was another win by the Hickman football team. It was a fun Friday Night Lights!
