A Big Milestone!

Today at approximately 10:00 a.m. Parker got his DRIVERS LICENSE!!!!!

He has had an eventful week and what a way to finish.

Tuesday he won his first ever high school swim race - placing 1st in the 100 back.

Thursday he swam the same race - this time loosing his goggles and not winning the race.

Thursday he made his debut at HHS with his "Bigfoot" howl at the Winter Sports Assembly.  President (cousin) Willie called him up to do his thing.  Apparently he was laughing so hard he didn't have his best performance - and he said his voice kind of squeaked!

Today was the last day of early morning swim for the season!!!!!

Now - the fun starts - he just barely called - 1 1/2 hours after getting his license asking if he can drive to the Petersons to go to lunch with them.......

HOLD ON - PARKER'S DRIVING!!!!!

Happy New Year

This year we kind of got the vision of being "empty nesters".  Parker went with Willie and others for a night out - ending up at the Petersen's! 

Me and Evan - the "old farts" - went to Buffalo Wild Wings.  We ordered mild, medium and hot...about burned my lips off with the one HOT wing I ate.  It was fun - loud and crazy!  Went to visit Dad - then went home and tried to watch the New Years programs from NYC - they were AWFUL!!!!!!

Waited until Parker got home shortly before 1:00 a.m.......just a glimpse of life without kids at home....sure am glad I still have one chillin at home!!!!!

Hello, this is your Daughter

Sunday afternoon, December 23rd - who would have thought.  MKW trying to call us to arrange a time to SKYPE on Monday.  We hung up twice - thought it was one of those annoying auto dial marketing calls.  The third time was the charm. 

I answered.  "Hello, this is your daughter".

Me "You must have the wrong number.

Caller "No, this is your daughter".

Me "Again, you must have the wrong number"

Caller "MOM, this is Meranda".

Me "MERANDA........."
Much happiness, much phone passing, talked to Me, Dad, Parker and Grandpa!

AWESOME!!!!!
