Another great Blue Knight Auction

Saturday we enjoyed the 18th Annual Blue Knight Auction. We may have bought a little more than we meant to (Elizabeth got a little paddle happy) but we had a wonderful time and enjoyed seeing everyone.

Easter 2011

We had a great Easter with family and friends. We lucked out with a beautiful weekend.

Saturday after Meg's softball we headed to Indy to see the McLeans. The kids enjoyed their egg hunt and running around with the cousins.

Sunday the kids woke up early for their next Easter egg hunt. Then we enjoyed dinner with Grandma Chris, Allison, Kendra, Harriet, Mary Ann and Josh.

Zach with his Ninja cake

Monday night was the final Cub Scout Pack meeting of the year and the Father/Son Cake Bake. Zach chose to make a ninja, which turned out very cool!

Zach and Dad worked hard making the black fondant for their ninja cake.

Visiting the Arch and Family in St Louis

Our hotel was right by the Arch, so Saturday morning Grandpa Goellner met us as we flew kites under the Arch, waved at our friends at the top of the Arch and then met a cousin for lunch at a place on the hill, Favazza's. After lunch we checked out a deli, Volpi and the Missouri Baking Co. on the hill, which was excellent. That night we did dinner with the Goellner Family and enjoyed seeing everyone.

City Museum St Louis

This weekend we had a fun mini-vacation to St. Louis. We stayed the night in Springfield Thursday and got to the City Museum Friday right when it opened. We met some other families at the Museum (15 of us in all). The kids had a great time and loved having their friends to hang out with.

Prince Charming and our mouse

This weekend was the final weekend for this year's Riverside Theater Guild play. Chris made a practically perfect Prince Charming while Meg was an adorable mouse. Thank you to all of our friends and family who came to see the production.

snOMG day

No ice here, but lots of snow. We may have had 18", but the drifts are 3 feet high. The kids had a great time playing in it Wednesday.

Everything is getting back to normal now... the kids should be back at school Friday.
