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!

Easter

Easter has come and gone.  It was a very busy couple of days.  We started out with Brendan getting very sick Wednesday night.  Luckily he was feeling better on Friday and we were able to enjoy the holiday.. Mom and Dad came out on Saturday.  We met them at Backwood's and had a late lunch.  We then came back to our house to color eggs and visit.     Mom's Work   Mom also brought this with her. This was my grandmother's Lutheran Hymnal.  It was given to her on her confirmation.  It is over 100 years old and in German.  Mom also has her bible.  She is giving this to Amelith Lutheran Church.   We all had a really good time and it was a full day.    On Sunday we went to church and then to Michelle's mom and dad's for a late lunch and the annual easter egg hunt.     The kids had fun as always.   We had a really good meal then Michelle and I took a 2+ mile walk...

Independence Day

Another busy weekend and celebration of our country's independence.  I got a short ride in on Friday morning.  We then were preparing for a wedding.  Barb and Steve, a couple at our church were getting married and the ceremony/reception would be at Dawn and Reuben's house.  Reuben performed the ceremony and I was asked to do the photography.  This worked out great as I had purchased a used Sony DSLR camera on eBay and got to test it out.  It was a very nice ceremony and celebration with our church family and friends.   You may kiss the bride!   We then stuck around and all of us went to the fireworks at the Clio Park to cap off the evening.  We got home late and went right to bed.   I slept in a bit on Saturday morning and got up to watch the start of the Tour de France.  It was a good stage with a sprint finish and a bad crash that took Mark Cavendish out of the race.  I then ventured out on a 23 mile ride o...
