Ellen's Birthday Weekend

We celebrated Ellen's birthday last weekend with some motorcycle riding! Just what she always wanted. She was a trooper. Linda and Dave came down from Wisconsin and we went riding south of Indianapolis through the winding back roads. We had lunch at the Story Inn (www.storyinn.com). Loophole and the FTC also joined in the ride.

I also learned something about Ellen that I didn't know after 18 years of marriage. Apparently there was a tradition in High School of eating ice cream cake rolls. But you could use no utensils and you passed it along to the next person so they could have a bite. So...sitting on the back deck we shared the cake roll....



ALEX UPDATE - Alex seems to be recovering nicely. Her incisions are healing but still "itch." She has a 24-hour Holter monitor the other day and we don't have those results back yet. She is being seen back at Mayo Clinic on July 17th. Regarding Marching Band...she will play in the band but will play keyboard (in the Pit) so she doesn't have to actually march on the field. This will work out great for this year!

BOYS - Chase comes home from camp tonight. He goes to another camp the week of July 10th in Wisconsin and the next week he has Scouts camp. Busy dude this summer! Nate went to camp a couple weeks ago. He also has soccer camp coming up.

More picstures to follow! Have a GREAT and safe 4th of July.
