News and Current Events

Missy was married to Michael in September.  The ceremony was held outside and the weather was beautiful.

We spent the first week of July in Florida with Anna’s family. We spent the most week at beach, riding wave runners and spending time with family.

Anna and I took a long weekend to explore St. Louis; a city neither of us had visited before. While there we visited the Botanical Gardens, the home of Ulysses S. Grant, the Cathedral Basilica, the St. Louis Arch, the Budweiser brewery, an Aircraft Museum (where Frank also flew in a WWII torpedo bomber)and downtown.We also ate at several great restaurants our fav being Cunetto’s House of Pasta.

The entire family went with Aaron’s Boy Scout pack to Patriots Point to stay on the U.S.S. Yorktown for a few days.  Aaron & Frank stayed in enlisted men’s quarters which featured bunks stacked 5 high so space was very tight.  Anna & Kendall stayed in [the more comfortable] junior officer’s quarters.  We were able to see sections of the ship generally inaccessible to the general public and had access to the ship around the clock.  Meals were also served in one of the many areas sailors ate when at sea while the large aircraft carrier was in service.More information about the facility and attractions can be found here.

Please join us in welcoming the newest member of our family.  Her name is Misty and she is a 8 month old Lab-Sheppard mix.
