John and I took a walk today and I was struck by how much he is growing up. We shared a great conversation and I found myself wishing the walk would have lasted longer.

Ah, the angst of a teenager.

Laura is less than amused to get hugs from her brother.

I have to say that I love it when she is completely annoyed by John. It makes me laugh!

For National History Day, Laura’s EEE class had to complete a large-scale project for the regional competition. This year’s theme was “Breaking Barriers in History.” Laura and three other girls chose to create a website and they certainly broke barriers with their topic.

For the website category, Laura’s group won and will be moving on to the State competition in April. Congratulations to the girls!


Someone got to enjoy a night off in St. Louis.

He went to the Blackhawks-Blues game with a friend from Sigma Chi. Andy didn’t get to see a Blackhawks win, but he still had fun.

John had a little mishap at Scouts this evening. The boys were messing around and he got pushed into a wall. He has a small cut behind his ear, a bump, and a headache. Fortunately, he is fine. Will this teach him to not participate next time?!? Doubtful… Boys!
