Alex takes 2nd at Track Meet

Alex competed in his first track meet for this season yesterday. He competed in the 100 yard dash, shotput and discus. He placed 2nd in discus, with a throw of 99' 10 1/2 ". Pretty awesome!

Only in Missouri

Well, once again crazy Missouri weather abounds. Yesterday was in the mid-60's, today in the mid-30's. What will tomorrow bring? We are so ready for warmer weather. Itching to get that garden going, smell freshly mowed grass and all the other fun stuff of spring. The daffodils are starting to pop their heads up. Alex has his first track meet on Thursday. He is going to run the 100 meter, and throw in the discus and shot put. We'll see that happens!

Daylight Savings Time

I'm so happy it's daylight savings time. It is so good to have the sun a little longer each day. Spring is around the corner - none too soon. It has been a cold and wet winter, and we are more than ready for some warmth. Of course, check back in the middle of August and you will hear a different story!

Science Fair

We are so proud of Alex. Today he took first place in the science fair for 8th grade at school. He worked really hard on his project "Video Games - Mans Savior or Mans Destroyer." It was about the effect of video games on pressure. He had fun doing the experiments, even getting teachers, custodians and friends involved. Now it's off to district competition!

Crazy Weather

The saying for Missouri is true - if you don't like the weather, wait five minutes! We went from 2" of ice last week with a dusting of snow and three ice days missed at school to 45+ degrees today after snow last night! What a crazy corner of the world. They are talking ice and sleet again by the end of the week. As long as we don't get anything like last winters ice storm I will be happy!
