Catching up.

I feel like I have a lot of blog posts entitled "Catching Up". Oh well. So much to share from the past few weeks; here are some highlights. We started school a couple of weeks ago. Chaney and Keaton both go two days a week from 9-2. Sigh. So far they have done great; more tears from mom than them on the first day.

Lola and Regan also came to visit. (They brought their parents too) We went to the zoo - slept in pallets in the floor - had ice cream at Jerimiah's and then proceeded to run in circles for the next 20 minutes. (literally)

On Saturday we went to the GreenTree Parade in Kirkwood...

..then Chaney, Mom and Dad met back up with everyone in Columbia for some tailgating and Tiger football. (Ki Ki got some QT with Yia Yia and Poppy) Its funny what you accomplish when you do pre-game with a toddler. We did the "Tiger Walk" - my first time ever to line up and high-five the players as they crossed the bridge to the field-who knew this existed? We watched Marching Mizzou warm up - the drumline was Chaney's favorite. And we were actually inside the Stadium in time to see the players (and most importantly Truman) take the field. Huh, I feel like I accomplished more at that one game than I did in all I attended during my collegiate career.

And once the fun was over, as you may have expected, we had two sick little girls. No school tomorrow.

Nerds.

The photographer sent this picture with the subject line "nerds". Truer words may have never been spoken...
