Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!  Last night we had our second annual New Year's party.  We welcomed in the New Year with the Stange's (Don, Donna, Kyle and Cory), the Leach family (Raymond, Angel, Alexander, Katherine and Madeline), Mark and Anne and Michelle's sister Dawn, nephew Scott and her boyfriend Reuben (our Pastor).  We had a great time socializing, playing games and the kids ran wild for hours.

We started the New Year by going to church and then most of us went to eat at Wendy's.  Weather started out today at 45 degrees, however it quickly changed as the wind picked up, with rain and then changed to snow.  It was actually feeling like winter.  If you can believe the weatherman that will change in a couple of days.  Just has not been much of a winter yet.  Tomorrow we will be off work and may go to mom and dads.

Dad is scheduled to have a procedure later this week.  He has a Dr appointment on Tuesday to see if he will get cardiac clearance for the procedure.  We are all worried, just not sure he is strong enough.

With the New Year are a lot of things ahead of us.  Trying to decide on what races to do...maybe race with JJ on the tandem at Barry-Roubaix?   It would be a lot of fun if we can work it into our budget and schedule.  Currently working on the tandem to upgrade it to a nine speed.  Maybe get that finished tomorrow also.  After that I am not sure of anything other than Iceman, we need to register on March 1st.  We will do the Slush Cup again.  I will ride the tandem with Brendan and JJ will ride in his age class.  Looking to see what races are on Saturdays so we don't have to miss church.

That is all for now.  Wishing all of you a blessed and Happy New Year!

Summer Vacation: Day 10, Heading Home.

Sunday would be a long day of travel as we would make the trek home in one day.  Still shorter than driving from Marquette. We had breakfast and started to pack up.  I had put the bikes on the van Saturday evening while the grill was heating up and loaded a few things up.  We managed to get on the around just a few minutes after 12:00pm.   Michelle would take the first leg of the drive at the wheel of the van and I would rest.  We made a stop at a rest area in Manistique and I took a few photos. A lighthouse for Michelle.  A mouse in a tuxedo! We got back on the road and stopped at another rest area.   Very cool! Brendan made a friend. The were not to bad. Our next stop would be St. Ignace.  We wanted to eat at Clyde's Drive In.  However, after arriving the place was packed.  So we went to B.C. Pizza again.  After lunch we made our way to Castle Rock as we were not able to climb it on o...

Brendan's Last Birthday Party

So today we had another party for Brendan's Birthday.  We also celebrated MacKenzie's birthday today (hers was yesterday).  We had Michelle's parents here also.  This was about the 6th birthday celebration for Brendan.  Michelle made some really cool cakes for the two of them.   Brendan's Turtle Cake     Mackenzie's Owl Cake   Everyone arrived and we had a great meal and watched the Michigan/Michigan State game.  Very close game with Michigan pulling out the win in the last seconds.  There was cake and ice cream and the traditional Happy Birthday song.
