Feel Better Lindsey

We thought she was just over tired and needed some extra rest (which she did) when we got home, but unfortunately Lindsey came down with a bug. She has been so healthy this whole winter, but this time the germs took a hold of her! She is starting to feel better and hopefully is on the mend! We love you Lindsey!

Go Dad Go!!

Jacob was super excited to get his picture with the Gannon Knight! We gave Lindsey some pompoms that were on the table and she cheered on her Dad when he was at the podium!

A Standing Ovation

It is no big secret that Lee is a humble person. He is grateful for everything in his life and doesn't ask for anything in return. When I saw the opportunity to nominate him for this distinction I didn't hesitate, I knew how much he deserved it. We arrived Friday night to a beautiful hotel right on the Bay. We had dinner and headed to the pool, kids had been talking about the pool all day. Saturday included breakfast with family, Lee's family arriving, a meet and greet at the girls basketball game, the boys' game where Lee was introduced along with the other inductees at halftime, a cocktail hour and a dinner. During the meet and greet, Lee met with the Col of the ROTC program at Gannon, his CPT and a senior cadet. He was asked to attend their ball in April and then speak at the Commissioning ceremony in May (all depending on his schedule of course). During his introduction at the game, the crowd gave him a standing ovation, even Jacob had tears in his eyes. Jacob was so excited to see the men's basketball game and he had my Dad sitting next to him giving him play by play action. I think he was overwhelmed to see his Dad out there and was so proud. Each inductee was honored during the dinner of about 200 guests and had a chance to speak. It was a night we will never forget. Lee had an awesome football career at GU and set so many records and still holds a few of them. He has accomplished so many of goals in his life and we are all very proud of him. (On a side note, Lindsey came for the cocktail hour and dinner, she was very well behaved, only a couple of funny outbursts but I think she helped lighten the mood) Thanks to my sister and mom for taking care of her!! Below are some of the pictures from the weekend!

Old Stomping Grounds

It is never easy to travel a far distance with kids, let alone travel in the winter with blizzard like conditions. Fortunately, our kids were so well behaved and the worst of the snow was only the last 30 minutes. As soon as we hit the snowy weather I knew we were getting closer to Erie. It felt good to be back even though we didn't get to do much touring this time. Instead we were there to celebrate a special day for Lee, he was inducted to Gannon's Hall of Fame for his football career. There were 10 inductees total and it was an amazing day. The campus has changed so much and we also had our family with us not only to support Lee but help us with the kids. We are truly grateful and blessed to have them! div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A cowgirl and her wizard....

Each day Lindsey takes on a new persona. She says she likes to come dressed to dinner or lunch. Last Wednesday she was a cowgirl, pretty much all night. Jacob on the other hand has become my Mr. Wizard. He loves science and when you ask him about school he gets eager to tell you about the latest experiment they have done in his class. So, it was perfect that Sam bought him a volcano for Christmas. The kids got to color it last week and then we experimented with making it erupt! It was so much fun!
