It looks so great!

I really do love doing the higher-level things at work these days, but I have to admit that I am tired. It was a work kind of day – eight hours at the office and about three more at home.

BikeMS #1 for Andy is in the books!

He went to Iowa this weekend to enjoy time on the bike with friends and to support MS research. Andy had intended to ride a century (100 miles), but the weather did not cooperate. He still managed to ride 70 miles and got to see the High Trestle Trail Bridge in person.

His next BikeMS ride is in September in the St. Louis area.

John is back from Boy Scout camp at Camp Geiger and I am pretty sure that he only showered one time. He also appears to have not changed clothes since we saw him Wednesday. I am good with that because he loved camp minus the rain and mosquito bites and he finished a lot of rank requirements and five merit badges. It sure is good to have him home though. I missed him! Now, to spoil him a bit with McDonald’s for dinner!

(Disclaimer: I did NOT hug that boy until after I got him home and he had showered. Too. Much. Dirt.)

Be very quiet.

It’s a tween girl in her natural habitat!

We received a link to new pictures from the team photographer today.

The photographer added the team logo and names to each of the individual pictures and did some adjustments to a few of the team photos.

It made me smile because one of John’s first questions to us last night after hugs was, “How did the team do last night?” He has been at Boy Scout camp since Sunday and his first thoughts were of the Mid-MO Stars. His love for his new team is evident. Some things are meant to be.

John is having a blast at Boy Scout Camp working on rank requirements and five merit badges! He is dirty (he has not showered yet and has a slushie mustache), exhausted, and living the boy life.

It was so good to see him tonight and know that he is having fun. Even Big Sister was happy to see him.

John showed us around Camp Geiger and then we all enjoyed slushies from the Trading Post while we waited for pizza to arrive for dinner.

We ended the evening at the closing campfire. Afterwards, we each gave John a hug goodbye and told him that we will see him on Saturday. He’s going to be a tired mess, but he will be a happy mess.
