Boys and Basketball

Landon and Owen both had Saturday morning basketball games that we had a chance to see before heading off to our own game at Dubuque Wahlert.

Landon Turns 10!

Ten years ago on January 26 our first grandchild entered the world.  A Denver Broncos theme helped this special boy celebrate his birthday.

Don was invited to conduct a basketball practice for Landon's team several weeks ago.  It was a fun evening!

A Week in Florida

January 23-30 was a week in Florida for me for our annual "sisters week" at St. Pete's Beach.  Don held down the fort in Iowa winning two basketball games.

We enjoy walking the beach.
