Admirals Game

 

Last night, Brett, Braden, Emma and I hit the Admirals game.  It was a great time!  I really appreciate Brett coming because it certainly made handling the two kids a little easier!

We got there for warm ups, which was nice.  But within 3 seconds of sitting down, Emma was asking for soda.  I managed to hold her off until Brett showed up so that I could run up and get french fries and soda for the kids.  Emma seems to be a bottomless pit at times… she at most of the fries and drank most of the soda.  She also had most of the nachos I got and some popcorn.

We didn’t get any pucks in warm-ups, but we did get two game pucks.  The first the linesman gave to me for the kids.  The second, the backup goalie gave to Emma.  That elicited a bunch of ‘Awwww’s from behind us.  Emma was very impressed with how cold the puck was.

Both kids did very well, especially considering we didn’t get home until 2 hours after bed time.  The “I love you, Dad!” at the end of the night really capped it all off for me.

Today we head to the Mitchell Park Domes for our annual visit to see the trains there.

No wasting time...

Brett and Lori sure don't waste any time. They're already picking a date for the wedding! Sounds like July 28th is the day. Yet another July wedding. It's like we have a bunch of teachers or pastors in the family or something.

Sorry for the Bretty nickname Brett. Ah, who am I kidding? No I'm not.

Braden is going for his first professional hair cut today. I want to take this time to wish the barber/stylist luck. Hopefully he'll come back with both ears!

I get to go for a physical tomorrow... and thanks to Dad, I have to have the most fun of tests done. Thanks Dad! I donated platelets yesterday and my blood pressure was 118/60, which is a lot better than it was at my last doctors visit. This working out business is apparently helping.

By the way, you can post comments to my blog... click on the pencil to the lower right. Not that I need validation or anything, but it would be nice to hear feedback.

Little Brettie is engaged!!!!

How do you spell Brettie, anyway? Bretty? Brettie? Brett-E? Brett-E is the only one my spell checker doesn't complain about, so maybe that's the right one.

Congratulations to Brett! He got engaged on Saturday! I suppose I should also say congratulations to Lori too, but quite frankly Brett's getting the better deal here.

Seriously, though, we're very excited and happy for both of them. We think Lori is a wonderful addition to our family and that they make an outstanding couple.

Now how about the Packers?!? At least we won't have to go a whole season without a win. Wow, the Lions really stink.
