It’s been a while since we last updated the blog and that being true, a lot has happened. Three weeks ago I played golf with Les, Steve and “Sharney” (and did the bloody marries flow). We didn’t fare to well in the tournament, but we had a good time. That evening, although I was feeling a bit rough, Laura, Ashley and Abby came over to hang out and have dinner. They are always fun
to hang out with. Abby is getting so big. She is just a cutie and such a good little girl. We have a feeling that Savannah and Abby may be getting into as much mischief as their mommies did when they were younger. The following Sunday we drove up to Bloomington for Emily’s first communion. This was Savannah’s first big road trip. She did really well. She didn’t make a sound
on the trip there, and almost made it all the way home. About the time we crossed the Missouri/Illinois border she started to fuss a bit, but a little food took care of that. Emily was very cute in her first communion dress. The church services were nice. They had 50+ kids on Saturday night service and another 50+ kids on Sunday morning. By Sunday evening, after we got home, we were exhausted and made it an early night. Last weekend I went fishing up at Mark
Twain Lake with Joe, Mike and Jeff from work. We had a great time and actually caught some fish. I can’t remember ever eating as much good food as we did on Saturday night. We had fresh crappie, barbequed pork tenderloin, goose sausage, baked potatoes, fried potatoes and beans. It was a little ridiculous. Even with all this going on the biggest event of the last 3 weeks was yesterday. See, yesterday Linda went back to work, and Savannah got to spend the day with
Miss June. Both Linda and Savannah had a really good day. Linda stayed busy at work and wasn’t calling to see how Savannah was doing every 10 minutes, and Savannah, well, she’s always happy. We are really happy that we found such a wonderful sitter. Even her children are enjoying having Savannah over for the day. So this brings everyone up-to-date. Now back off, we’ll try to do better in the future.
Happy Easter! Linda, Savannah and I have had a wonderful Easter so far. We started our festivities on Friday evening. We colored several eggs at the kitchen table. Linda has been sick most of the week leading up to the holiday weekend so we were not able to color eggs earlier in the week. For the last few weeks she had clogged sinuses and just 
felt miserable. When she finally went to the doctor, they did a chest x-ray and found that she had pneumonia. A small case of pneumonia, but pneumonia nonetheless. Luckily she is feeling better and she got to color eggs with Savannah. I think Savannah was amazed more by dropping the little tablets in the water and watching the water change color than 
actually coloring the eggs. Saturday morning was cinnamon rolls and an Easter Egg Hunt at Great-Grandma Huster’s house. This is a yearly tradition and only the families with little kids are invited. It was a lot of fun. Savannah was running all over looking for eggs with all of her cousins. I don’t know how many eggs Great-Grandma had at her house, 
but every kid had a basket full. Savannah had a good time. Then Saturday afternoon was spent over at Grandma & Grandpa Huster’s house with all of Savannah’s Cousins and Linda’s siblings. It’s always nice to hang out with the Husters, Schusters and Grandma & Grandpa. There was another Easter Egg Hunt at Grandma & Grandpa’s house followed 
by playtime in the backyard. What a beautiful day we had for being outside. Savannah and Erin played hard and wore each other out. The men cooked pork steaks (or we watched Les cook pork steaks) on the deck and took care of a few cold ones while we were at it. It was a very relaxing afternoon. When we finally got home it took Savannah about 10 seconds to fall asleep. Easter Sunday came early and we went to 8:00 mass with 
Grandma & Grandpa. When we got home from church the Easter Bunny had been to the Denison house. Savannah had to go out and Hunt Easter Eggs for the third time this weekend. She made short time of this Easter Egg Hunt. Then it was inside to count her loot and eat some Candy! She had a very cute Easter Dress on and, surprisingly she was willing to show it off for the camera. Now the rest of the family is taking naps (or at least 
laying down and talking to her “guys”) in preparation for the big Cardinals game this afternoon. Yup, it’s only fitting that Savannah go to her first Cardinals game on Easter Sunday. Mom is definitely on our minds and we know she would be beaming with pride taking Savannah to her first game. We’ll be taking the camera, so hopefully we’ll get to share this experience with you too. Enjoy the pictures, and we’ll be back soon.
