Becky, Tony, Lynn, Greg, Bill and I had a wonderful time at the Second Annual Leinenkkugel Night. We enjoyed some delicious food and brought home some cool Leini stuff.

Wisconsin Dells

The weekend after what would have been Steve's 50th birthday, election day, and two late nights of parent/teacher conferences, the kids and I took off and went to Wisconsin Dells. It was good for us to spend time together and have a little fun.

Election Day Birthday

Today Steve would have turned 50 years old. He was so excited about this election. I don't think he was as excited that he was turning 50! We'll see how the returns come in, but I have a good feeling about tonight. Steve would have been proud.

Friends and loved ones have been ever near to support us as we wade through the days emotions. Kaylyn had so many wonderful things planned for this half century mark for Steve. Pictures hanging all around IVCC to start with. She left a wonderful voice-mail about black streamers and balloons with RIP not being terribly appropriate when the birthday boy is already dead. This doesn't come across in translation...you have to know her sense of humor and how we all needed a release at the given moment.

Here's to you Steve, where ever you may be. We miss you and love you dearly.
