Sweet Daddy Time

The kids got to hang with Jason last night while I went on a guys night out to the Purdue/Michigan game with Trent, Matt, Dad, Jeff Demerly and a buddy of Trent's from Monsanto. Such a great time -- if only Purdue could have hung on in those final minutes! Great game! Great company!

However, when I got home, I noticed that Em's nighlight was on pretty bright, so I went in there first...but no one was in her bed. Hmmm...I thought. Next to Colton's room to kiss him good night and again, no Colton. Hmmm....

When I went into my room, upon inspection I found this.
Sweet dreams
What a good daddy! Upon trying to cover Em up and sneak off to Colton's bed by myself, I noticed the kids rustling, and Colton about fell out of bed. So I picked him up and put him in his bed with me. He mumbled in his sleep..."Mom, who won?"  He really is a boy after my heart! :) He drifted right back to sleep and Em woke up so proud that she "sleeped in you bed all night long, with my Daddy"....adorable!

Can't get these kinds of nights back -- so occasionally we enjoy a slumber party with one, and sometimes two, of the kiddos! :)

Get Well Soon, Grandpa Kent

 Here's the best way to share Dad's video. Thank you all so much for submitting the clips. This really made him smile (and say some funny things the first time we watched soon after anesthesia). I think it will be treasured company this evening in the hospital. Thank you for your prayers, your thoughts, for answering the phone calls and lifting Dad up. We appreciate all your love and support.  58E2238E-D2E3-4B38-9FF6-AE1E502ABD14.mp4

Covid ... the end. (Hopefully. Maybe. I really don't know....)

 Almost two years ago, exactly, our world drastically changed. Everyone holed up at home, scared to enter the world and catch Covid 19/Corona Virus. (Except Jason, once he got to feeling better from most likely having Covid before it was a known thing, he just went to work everyday like nothing had changed). The world basically shut down  -- special hours, curbside pick up encouraged, no dining room service only drive through or carryout. If someone coughed or sneezed anywhere near you, you were instantly suspicious. Our parents lived on complete edge and worry, taking in every ounce of information the news was constantly throwing in their faces. It was a time of great uncertainty, lots of information being thrown at us from trusted news sources, social media, and hearsay from those in the medical profession.  We spent March to May just trying to figure out our new life. No baseball. No softball. Lots of time with our animals. Lots of crafts. School from home. Porch drop ...

Central Indiana Winter Spectacular

 We kicked off show season with this set of calves in mid-January at the Central Indiana Winter Spectacular, a first time show down in Cloverdale, Indiana. I'm not sure what was more fun - being with our kids and friends at a cattle show, or listening to our kids meddle over the thought of staying in a Motel 6.  (Backstory on this one -- when I worked at Purdue/in the Conference division, I held a few conference at The Hyatt in downtown Indianapolis. When I had events there, I'd earn points. We then would use those points for free night stays....I think I had maybe 15 or so over the years. So, the only hotel my kids know, is a Hyatt, because unbeknownst to them, it was FREE.....which is the ONLY reason we stayed in such a nice place with young kids. So, imagine their dismay when the Motel 6 in Cloverdale didn't have an Eagles Nest rotating up top, or an indoor pool and hot tub/workout area. We have officially raised hotel snobs.....because when we finally took them to the k...
