...............................

The staff said that you did great!  A little fuzzy from the anesthesia, they rolled you about 11am.

Subway for lunch... and a lot of rest!  The next 2 days you would relax and recover.

Back to school on Wednesday... You care such a strong young man!  

You have never complained about the pain or having to get help with things.  

We are glad that you are on the road to recovery and you will be stronger than ever!!!

Go E!!!

STA Homecoming Game~ 2013

STA Homecoming Game ~ 2013 

October 4, 2013 we went to the Homecoming game at STA.  Cole enjoyed the game with his friends!

This was Calli's first football game.  

She enjoyed, skittles, hotdog, popcorn and Gatorade.  

She also got a bear before the game and named him "E".

The weather was great until the second half when it started to heavy mist/rain. 

We enjoyed watching the first half and half time show filled with fire works and a great performance from the VISTA band. ( Calli's favorite part of the night!)

Looking forward to next year already!!!

STA Homecoming ~ 2013

This evening we met in Eden Prairie before the Homecoming dance.  The Burke's were kind enough to open their home for over 60 students.  They had dinner from Bucca and took pictures while dodging the rain.  We enjoyed visiting with the parents and seeing the smile on your face!!! We are very happy that you are able to experience these events with such wonderful people!

The Visitation Homecoming dance was a lot of fun for Cole and his friends.  We met with his friend Ryan and his parents in Bloomington before dropping off the boys in Edina. There were about 40 kids meeting at the home.  
They had dinner, took picture and hung out before the dance. 
 After the dance Cole and his friends went to an after party in Mendota Heights.  

What a fun night for the kids!

Cole's First Day of School - 08.26.13

10th Grade - STA

This first day of school is like no other in our house.  Cole's morning ride to school starts at 6:50 and ends at 7:15 in Mendota Heights at St. Thomas Academy.  In the morning, Cole and Dad leave the house and travel us Hwy 52.  He spends the day at The Academy and in the afternoon I make my way up to get him and bring him home.  We really enjoy the time we get to spend with Cole as we travel, and as excited as he is to get his license, we will miss that time with him in the car!!!
