Luke had his First Communion service over the weekend.  He’d been very excited/nervous about it for the last few days, but he said it was easy once he’d done it.  We’d talked about him moving from boy baby status to big boy status. He also said that he liked the wine.  Nice.  Angie has been [...]

My mom called me yesterday to let me know that the family dog, a sweet, goofy Golden Retriever named Cloud, had passed away Tuesday morning.  It was really sad to hear.  That dog, though wild and silly, was SO sweet and friendly, and just kind of thought he was a lap dog.  He always wanted [...]
