This is what happens when, Nick, you said it's too cold to air out and clean up a tent AND say it won't fit in the basement. Yes it will, says Dad.

10 years old, still throwing a fit.

But also a good helper, making sugar cookies with Mom.

You learned a new thing, tracing.

Here are the results. Pretty impressive!

Our Christmas dinner - Mesón Sabika. We eat too much for this place.

That's my 8th grade son in the center, calling out, leading all the wrestlers in stretching.

160th Monthly Photo

Dad finally found out that last disc is what is is pressing on his sciatic nerve causing so much pain after that fall back in August. Just over a week ago, it got worse and I was bedridden for 5 days before Mom took me to the ER.

Nick, you and I were going to run this Pumpkin 5k, but with me hurt Kevin stepped up and took my place. Proud of you both!

Memory Lane

Mom and Uncle Todd took you guys and Grandpa Bowman down memory lane to near where they grew up going to see the Cubs play with Grandpa...when they were little.

Nick you obtained a ball!

With me on the DL, you all had to step up - Here is your first time trimming the edges. I had to move the handle way down so you could carry it.

Nick and the troop went to the Warren Dunes

Your legs were tired when you came home, lots of running up and down the hill.

The most recent collection of Nick's.

20 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!

Mom and I spent a few days in Nashville to celebrate our anniversary. The town has really changed in the 21 years since we became engaged down there. It was great to hang out with my cousin Dory and her husband Tony. The last time we were on Broadway and at Tootsies, it was Lindsey, Me, bartender and a musician. Times have changed, Nashville is crazy busy these days. Because of my condition we didn’t walk that much, took lots of Ubers. Loved all the live music and printers row!
