Peeps!

It took some work, but I convinced the peeps to step away from gaming long enough to take a photo.

One More of Our Good Friend Brian

Brian is on the road back to his home base in Maryland. We wish him safe passage. Come see us again soon Brian! You're always welcome in our home.

Good Times

We've had a lot of fun over the last few days catching up with all the peeps, and taking pictures, of course;

Alex is on His Way to Northern Ireland

Good luck Alex! Hope you have a great time in Europe!

Update 9/13/2016 - Alex texted us this morning at 4:30 to tell us his plane has landed safely in Belfast.

Brian Joined the Marine Corps

Today we watched as Brian left for basic training. It felt like we were sending off one of our own kids, as Brian has been a part of our extended family since he was in kindergarten with our youngest son Nick.

Good luck Brian! Semper Fi!

Peeps at Prairieland

Local peep activity has gone up significantly since Alex and Nick returned from college for summer break. I took advantage of a large gathering at Prairieland recently by snapping lots of photos.

Alex Goes Back to College

Yesterday was move in day for Alex at Missouri State. He's excited for another good year.

His room looks like a very productive studying environment, which would probably be true of any room containing an Einstein poster.

Some of the peeps stopped by to wish Alex well and to say goodbye:

Michele and I got into some pictures also:

I couldn't be more proud.

A Night with the Peeps

Last night was spent hanging with a few of the peeps. Michele and I were partners in a game of spades, and we lost rather spectacularly after I made a very silly play. I'll just have to pay better attention next time.

I did manage to get in a few photographs before the party broke up.

A Few More Pictures with the Graduate

High School is Officially Over

Nick, Andrea, Brian and Drew graduated from High School yesterday, and naturally, I took lots of pictures.

We couldn't be more proud of our High School peeps. Congratulations peeps!

The College Peeps are Back in Town

College is out for the summer, which means all of our college peeps will be stopping by to hang out, play cards, or both. A few of them stopped by last night, and I did manage to get a picture or two. Won't be long before the high school peeps get their taste of freedom.

Road Trip - MSU

Justin, Brian, Nick and Kyle just prior to leaving on their road trip to Missouri State University to hang out with Alex over the long Labor Day weekend:
