Our honeymoon video – NOT THAT KIND!

Our big “secret honeymoon” was to Bardolph, Illinois St. Louis, Missouri. We had a Great time and got to see lots. The Highlight of the trip was our visit to the zoo. We were able to watch the feedings of the sea lions and the penguins. However the most remarkable part was what we heard in the ape house. Listen to the video for what is said six seconds in.

Congratulations Ronda and Matt!

A hearty congratulations to Ronda (who sometimes comments on this blog) and Matt, who gave birth to adorable twin girls on Friday, Dec 15. We are so very excited for you and for the two tiny people that you’ve added to the family!

The girls were a few weeks premature, and things were a little dicey for a while. They’re not out of the woods yet, but things seem to be reasonably stable considering the circumstances, and for that we are grateful.

Because of the critical nature of the birth, Ronda wasn’t able to hold the babies right away, as they were quickly whisked off to intensive care. In fact, it wasn’t until sunday night that she finally got to hold one of them.

Ronda, the highlight of my entire weekend was watching you hold your daughter for the first time last night. She is truly beautiful.

I Scream! You Scream! We All Scream for Ice Cream!

I love ice cream! My two current favorites are Bunny Tracks and Peanut Butter Brownie Sensation. Oh, then there is a seasonal Cinnamon. Birthday Cake flavored is yummy too, I prefer it without the sprinkles. Mint Chocolate-chip is good. While I am not a great fan of Rootbeer, it is good with Vanilla ice cream. Peaches and Cream is probably my favorite with real chunks of fruit. I love Strawberry ice cream, but not the kind that has the big clots of shredded fruit in it.

I hate doing dishes though, so one (this one) must eat from a cone to truely enjoy the experience.
