Minneapolis to Omaha

This past weekend the Moran family came to Omaha for a visit. It was so nice having them in town. Seeing Julie, Joe and the kids is always a joy. We only wish they could have stayed longer. Surprisingly our little house handled the increased occupancy very well.

The highlights of the trip were the Henry Doorly Zoo, Playing in Elmwood Park and enjoying meals around the new table from Mom & Dad Gee. The table formerly graced the dining room of Grandpa and Grandma Stassen. It was one of their wedding presents. Mom and Dad did a great job refinishing it for us - thanks!

HOBO DAYS

We went back to Brookings, SD last weekend for HOBO DAYS (homecoming at South Dakota State University; the university I went to for my undergraduate degree). My sisters came home too and all the kids. Connor, Julia, Alison and Jen surprised me with great birthday desserts on Friday night. On Saturday we went to the parade and football game and carved pumpkins. Thanks Mom and Dad for a great weekend!
