I'm Sad, But Life Goes On

Brandon just left to head back to Manhattan. I'm sad, but having your almost 20-year-old son spread his wings is a good feeling too! I'm so proud of Brandon. Though finding money for college has been a difficult road, he's persevered and will soon finish his sophomore year. He's a bright, warm, funny young man - and for those of you who know him - a bit on the shy side. I'm happy to say he has made many friends at K-State. He's also a good friend to Owen, a friend from grade school and Brady, a friend from middle school - who both live in Wichita. He's a good friend to his brother, Kaleb, and to his sister, Kaitlin. He's a great son to me and Corby! We have so enjoyed having him home for just over a week for spring break. We've watched movies, gone to the zoo, gone out to eat, celebrated the twins birthdays and played numerous games (and no, I didn't win any of them!). I'm going to miss him, but we will see him again on May 8th when he will be home for the weekend before his finals.

Godspeed son! Dad and I love you very much!

Fun times with Lenore

While Lenore and Daniel were here, she had a library book panel at the Johnson County Library in Overland Park. So, on Tuesday afternoon, November 27th, Lenore, her friend Rachelle and I took off for KC. We had a great time visiting on the way up and back, and I didn't get tired at all driving! We stopped for a quick bite to eat at Arby's and filled up with gas at QT before heading to the library. It was an interesting panel featuring Bethany Hagen, author of Landry Park, which comes out next year; Gennifer Albin, author of Crewel, which was released a few months ago; and Lenore, whose book will be released on January 15. Here's the panel: Me & Lenore: Lenore & Rachelle: Gennifer, Bethany and Lenore

K-STATE WINS!

K-STATE beat KU! AWESOME! It was a tense game. Corby is a huge KU fan, and even having a son at K-State hasn't changed that. I am happy when any Kansas team does well; but I had to root for K-State tonight. If the Jayhawks had to lose, I'm glad it was to K-State. Michael Beasley is a great player, and my only concern is that he will leave after his freshman year and go pro. WAY TO GO CATS!
