Last week Thursday, Melisa and uncle Scott babysat Liesl while Momma and Dadda had a date. We were supposed to have done this for my birthday in October. It took us 6 months to do it! Not a surprise to anyone I am sure. We had a great time, Liesl, Melisa and Scott had a great time. I missed Liesl every minute but it was good for Jim and I to be able to focus on each other for an hour and a half. Thanks for the great present you guys and sorry it took me so long to take you up on it.


We are currently well on our way to buying a house with a closing/move date scheduled for May 25th. Not in time for Daddy's birthday but at least we got this far finally. it has a play set in the backyard and an elementary school right in back as well. We are really looking forward to all having our own space. We have all grown out of our little palace in Rochester.

Liesl visited her Uhr Oma today at the cemetery today. She came dressed to the hilt because she had to attend a funeral earlier in the day. As soon as she saw that grass she kicked off her shoes and went running as her Daddy says "Pall Mell" in the grass in her bare piggies. Afterwards, she and Oma drove down to Warren and tailgated in the parking lot at Momma's work. It was very nice to see the both of them today. Thanks Oma.
