Happy 3rd Birthday, Alena!

My little girl turns three years old today and she is very excited about it. She got to take all her friends at school chocolate cupcakes to celebrate and she even got her first presents yesterday. She will get a few more tonight, but her party/playdate is on Saturday. Her and all her little friends (approx. eight 3-5 year olds) are coming over to celebrate with a bounce house (Thanks, Doug), party games, and chocolate cake. I'm sure they all will have a great time. Happy Birthday, Alena!

2008 Ethical Society Trivia Night

It's again time for the annual Ethical Society Mid Rivers Trivia Night. This years event will be held at Progress Park in Wentzville on Saturday, April 26th at 7 (doors open at 6:15). We are in need of participants, donations, and round sponsors. It is $25 to be a round sponsor and we put the name/logo/info of your business on the overhead projector and make any info/brochures/business cards, etc available to the participants. We could also use door prize/silent auction gifts/donations, so if you know a business that may want to help please let me know. I will also have a table and need to fill it up. Not to brag, but I was part of the winning team last year (see flyer pic). Its $15 per person if we register before April 19th and as an added bonus, we get to bring in alcohol this year-- WOOHOO! Let me know if you want to join in the fun!

Great Job, Alex & Brady!

The boys started spring break on March 14 and they don't go back to school until the 24th! It must be nice, I never remember having spring breaks as long as theirs when I was growing up, but I digress. The day before their break began was the end of the quarter at school so report cards were sent home. For the 3rd quarter in a row they both had all A's and one B+. Great Job, Alex & Brady! Alex has also had perfect attendance and Brady only missed one day back at the beginning of the year because he was sick, which is also quite impressive considering I have been sick quite a bit this long winter season. I hope their academic success continues for many years to come, it definitely makes life easier for all of us. Keep up the great work boys!
