I’m going to try to blog our way through our vacation to Branson, MO which started with a long drive last night.  We are headed down to the Sack family reunion (Sack is Becky’s grandma’s maiden name).  We made it to Council Bluffs, IA (that’s Iowan for Omaha) at 11:35 last night with two sleeping girls.  Neither BeckyContinue reading “Branson Vacation – Day 1”

My mom likes to tell the story of how in my toddler days my favorite phrases were New Car and Old Car.  When I’d ride in the back seat of the car I’d shout out New Car or Old Car to every car that would go by.  In two weeks, I’ll get to say buh-bye to our OldContinue reading “New Car”

On August 10th Becky and I headed out to Boston for our vacation without the kids.  It started off a little rough in that our flight from Fargo to Minneapolis got delayed.  Then, as luck would have it, when we got on our flight we had a 2 year old scream for about 20 minutesContinue reading “I think we’re going to Boston”
