President Obama Came for a Visit!

Yesterday, President Barack Obama came to Quincy, Illinois. We stood in line and got tickets so we could see him. It was such a thrill. It is so exciting to see the leader of our country. He gave a great talk at the OLC in Quincy. I took all three boys. This may be a once in a lifetime opportunity for them. This is the second sitting president that I have seen in person. Back in 1996, I met Bill Clinton! He shook my hand and everything! Pretty cool stuff!

A Year Later....and here we are!! :)

It's been over a year since I posted on the blog I was going to start - so I think I'll try and get this going again.

We had our good friends Mitch and Jana down for Thanksgiving this year and we had so much fun. We just relaxed, and laughed, and enjoyed a lot of GOOD food!

Gearing Up For Turkey Day!

Today we're hanging inside (it's cold today!) getting things ready for Thanksgiving! We're having a lot of company and we're really excited. We're going to go through all our toys and get a box together for baby Mallory, for Goodwill, and put the rest away where they belong. Then, we're getting the guest room all set up for Grammy!

Trying Something New!

I decided to start a blog! I thought this may be a great way for us to keep in touch with all our dear family and friends far away! I'll be able to post pictures on here and keep you up to date with what's going on with us.
