The Arch

If you go to St Louis you have to visit the Gateway Arch. It's so beautiful. You can see it from so many places, especially downtown which is where we stayed. It reminded me of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. You'd be heading down a street and say, "there it is!" I had been up in the arch back in the 90s when I was working in St Louis with Houlihans and Darryl's restaurants. My friend Sonya was also there on business so we met up and took the little tram to the top. I wasn't looking forward to going again and really wouldn't have but the little cars seat 5 so I thought I just should do it with Paul, the kids and my dad. I had to sit down at the top. Wasn't feeling too hot. Major wimp in my old age.

Will post more pix of the views and little tram car another day...

Winter Swim

We stayed in a nice hotel in St Lou that had an indoor pool and hot tub. The kids loved getting to go swimming in February. I enjoyed the hot tub myself. We took advantage of the fun both nights we were there!

Meet Me in St Louis

We're just back from a fun weekend in St Louis with my father. More pix to come but can you guess what we're standing next to in this photo?

Christmas Card Out Takes

Busy

I'm busy getting ready for Grandaddy's visit so here are just a few random pix of the kids!

Grandaddy's Coming!

We're counting down the days until my dad comes to see us. He will get in this Friday night and we can't wait to see him. It's been over a year. We will surely be missing Grandma June but will enjoy every minute with Grandaddy. These pictures were taken the summer of 10 when we went on our cruise...

More Play Time

We had six kids here last Sunday having a good time playing around.
Here they made a fort in the living room with the dining room chairs.
Matthew is our music pastor's son and Michael's big buddy.

Emmy and Lyndi are sisters and go to the church with us. Lyndi is in Mallory's class.

I made the kids some cookies but they had to sit on the floor to eat them since the chairs were all in the living room!

The girls and Michael dressed up in costumes we have around the house. Taylor, in the blue, is our next door neighbor.

This picture cracks me up. The girls are twirling and dancing and the boys are pointing toy guns at them like they're trying to take them out!

Hilarious!
