December ALREADY???????

2009-11-21T16:43:00.004-06:00

Wow! I can't believe that it is almost December. Lots has happened since my last entry. I am now a violin teacher at the UMHB Conservatory, and I joined an AMAZING contemporary christian choir. If you are going to be around the Central Texas area over Dec 7th or 8th let me know and I will get you tickets to my concert. Here is a picture of the poster for the Dec 7th performance in Killeen, TX.

Turning 25!

2009-03-05T09:58:00.004-06:00

Well, in a quarter of a century lots has happened. I have grown up too! (at least somewhat!) The first picutre is me just minutes after I was born and the second was taken last night at The Range in Salado to celebrate my birthday and Barbara Gudmundson's birthday!

The Super Bowl!

2009-02-01T21:54:00.005-06:00

So I went to my sunday school classes Super Bowl Party tonight and took the best cake! Here are some pictures!

Salado Wine and Chocolate Festival

2008-10-18T12:11:00.009-05:00

So last weekend was the Salado Wine and Chocolate Festival as well as Christmas in October, so Salado was CRAZY!

(Suzi is the gal in the pictures she used to work at the wine seller and now she works for Salado)

The wine seller had their event on Friday night. It was five wines and five chocolate desserts (done by The Range; a nice restaurant in town). Here is the pairing:

Chisholm Trail Belle Star (semi-sweet white)- Tuxedo Diped Strawberry

Texas Hills Kick Butt Cabarnet - Chocolate Espresso Cheesecake

Brushy Creek Texas Rose (sweet red) - Chocolate Mousse Filled Profiterole

Texas Hills Orange Muscato (sweet white) - Chocolate Pecan Biscotti

Pleasant Hill Tawney Port - Double Chocolate Truffle

It was a great weekend and we are looking forward to doing it again next year! Thank you to everyone that made the night so much fun!

Finally!

2008-09-16T17:45:00.005-05:00

I know that it has been a while since I have posted something. Things have been a little crazy around here. We are in the process of trading properties with someone that lives in Eddy, TX. I am a little sad to leave the house that will have lived in a hear as of Sep 20th. It's too bad that Heather and Marc-Andre won't be here on the 21st like they were last year ;(

So right after we moved in I had taken one of the shelves from one of the cabinets to have a few more made so I could store more things in it. Well, we just got them back a week ago (almost a year later). I have been varnishing them and getting them ready to go and I was able to put them up and put things on them today!!!!! Yeah I will get to enjoy my wonderful shelves for about a month (assuming everything goes well). Here are some before and after picutres.

BEFORE

and

AFTER

One Year Down!!!

2008-07-17T13:09:00.005-05:00

Well, this last monday, July 14th, marked Spencer and my first year of being married. It seems strange to me that only a year ago we were getting married. We had a very nice day. Spencer worked and I hung out with his nephews who are in from Colorado. They played some games at the house while I got ready to go out to dinner. Then Spencer and I went out to dinner at the Stagecoach Inn in Salado. We had a very nice dinner. The couple to our right was celebrating their 23rd anniversary and the couple to our left were celebrating 9 month, but they had both been widowed and they said if you added up all of the years that they had been married it would be over 90. Isn't that amazing? We have a long way to go to catch up to them. Then we went back to the house and ate a piece of our wedding cake (which was WONDERFUL). It was still moist and tasted very good. We ate our cake as we watch the movie "Brett Favre: On and Off the Field".

We have had a packed year. Lake Geneva in September, Christmas in IL, Packers Cruise in Feb, new jobs, loosing my job, and just the normal everyday stuff. All in all we have had a very good year and I am looking forward to spending many more together.

This week so far!

2008-06-05T19:30:00.005-05:00

Spencer holding Abby for the first time!

Abby sleeping on my couch!

Gardening in TX

2008-04-21T18:23:00.003-05:00

Well, it seems strange to me that I have been harvesting veggies out of my garden for about 3 weeks now if not a little longer. Up in Illinois my Dad and I would just be getting ready to plant a garden. So the green onions were good and I think that I am going to leave the rest of them in the ground so we can harvest some bigger onions later on in the year. The radishes are almost done. I just harvested a bunch more today that we will enjoy with dinner. I noticed that there are some peas that are almost ready today and we have a bunch of big green tomatoes starting and a couple of cherry tomatoes as well. There are bell pepper, jalapeno, and eggplant plants out in the garden as well. We harvested one good strawberry, I'm don't think that they are going to do too well this year. I guess we will find out!

As far as the flowers go the Amaryllis are really doing well and looking beautiful. They are the only bulbs that have bloomed so far. I think that everything will look a lot better next year. I have some more bulbs that I would like to plant I just have to figure out where to put them and work up some ground (or do a raised bed).

I have found that there is a wonderful feeling of accomplishment that goes along with having my own garden. I love harvesting onions and radishes for dinner and it will be GREAT when we are getting the rest of the veggies too!!!!

Spencer has mowed the lawn for the first time ever and it looks really good. (A lot better than it did!!)

66 Ford Fairlane

2008-03-24T12:36:00.004-05:00

Here are some pictures of Spencer's new '66 Ford Fairlane. We drove down to Spencer, Roger, and I drove down to Houston and stayed with Mindy on Saturday night. Then Spencer and Roger went to get the car and Dona and I hung out for a little longer then I went home with her. Anyway, it is a "SWEET" car as Spencer would say. The engine and everything else sounds really good. There is a little bit of work that needs to be done on the brakes and one of the leaf springs in the back before Spencer will feel comfortable with driving on other roads rather than just the back country roads by our house. Check out the license plate. This car was meant for Spencer!!!

WINTER!!!

2008-03-07T18:13:00.003-06:00

Well, Mom & Dad are down for the week and they thought that it would be funny to bring winter down with them. We woke up this morning to SNOW!!!! I thought that I had moved away from snow.

We are having a good time with my parents. Spencer and I have been busy with work so Mom & Dad have been helping out around the house. My mom made these valences for our great room and they look great! Dad planted the Red Oak that Spencer got for me for my birthday and built me a raised bed garden. We have planted onions, green & yellow bell peppers, eggplant, peas, radishes, strawberries, and we have tomatoes and jalapenos to plant when the weather is going to stay warm. I am sooo excited about having a garden this year!

Anyway, I am going to go help Dad with dinner. I will put some pictures up from our cruise next week.

6 Months

2008-01-17T10:05:00.000-06:00

Spencer and I have been married for a wonderful 6 months now. There have been some adjustments like with anything, but it has been GREAT!!! We went out to a Japanese restaurant kind of like BeniHana, but less expensive. We had been there on our 2 month anniversary and really enjoyed it. Then we went bowling. We both enjoy going bowling, but hadn't been since before the wedding. We played 3 games and neither one of us did very well, but we had fun anyway. Last night we finally put away our christmas stuff. This included taking the ornaments and lights off of our tree. The tree is still up, but we will take it down soon. Other than that, we have both been very busy with work. We are both looking forward to a vacation at the end of February. We are going on a cruise in the southern Caribbean. It isn't just any cruise though. It is a Green Bay Packers cruise. There are actually going to be players on it. 3 currant and 2 retired players with their families. One of Spencer's favorite players of all times is going to be on it. Anyway, I need to get going! This picture was taken on Monday night at the restaurant.

The Game

2008-01-17T10:01:00.000-06:00

Well, it has taken me a little while, but here are a couple of pictures from the game. Spencer is very excited about the Packers being in the NFC Championship and the fact the the Cowboys are not!!!!!

The Game!

2007-12-23T22:02:00.000-06:00

Well, Spencer, Dad and I were at the frigid game today at Soldier Field. My Dad stayed warm throughout the game with his big boots and other clothes. I was wrapped up in about 4 layers and then also inside a sleepingbag. Spencer was wrapped up and both of our feet were COLD!!!!! It was a good game, but we all were hoping that the Packers would've won. Lets just hope that they beet the Cowboys and win the Superbowl. We are all glad to be back in the warmth of the house. Spencer has decided that going to the end of the season games up north is no fun and we are going to stick to the warm games. Well, I am going to get back to the family. Lisa, Ryan, Stephan, Heidi, Anthony, Anne, Mom and Dad are all here and we are having lots of fun!!!!! I will post a couple of pictures when we get home after Christmas. We are going to be spending the rest of Christmas with my family and we will be getting back late Christmas day.

Only In Texas

2007-12-05T13:24:00.000-06:00

So today I was driving around and saw a man working on a backhoe with a cowboy hat on, and no it wasn't Roger, even though he does. Anyway, everyone else on the site was wearing hard hats so I thought that this was a little strange. Then he turned his head and it WAS a hard hat. Only in Texas will you find people wearing hard hats shaped like cowboy hats!

Betsy & Kathy

2007-11-06T17:18:00.000-06:00

My mother decided that it was time in her life to bottle feed her first calf!!!!

Only One Trick-or-Treater

2007-11-01T11:35:00.000-05:00

This was the lucky boy who got all of the candy he wanted from us! It is Ethan Martone (Spencer's best friends son). He is going to be 3 at the end of the month. He made such a cute pirate! His little brother, Henry, who is 8 months old was a little Lobster. It was good to see Johnnie and Alison. Spencer missed out on the fun because he was at the hospital with his Dad, who is starting to get better!

New Job!

2007-10-12T14:26:00.000-05:00

So, I excepted a new job this morning with Austin Tree Experts (www.austintreeexperts.com) I am going to be a consulting sales arborist for them. Spencer and I are really looking forward to this new adventure. It will help us with all of the bills and the mortgage on our new wonderful home. I am going to start the 2nd week in November. This gives me time to get used to getting up in the morning again ;) I am going to continue to work for the wine seller and doing the books for her husbands company. I will just cut back on the hours I work.

I can't believe it!!!!!

2007-10-10T21:28:00.000-05:00

So we had Dona over for dinner tonight. We had a wonderful dinner, we made some oatmeal cookies and then some pumpkin bread. And now, Spencer actually has Dona playing Madden '08 on his playstation right now.

I know that everyone has been wanting pictures of the house, so here they are!

This is our bedroom (and yes, we do make our bed)

The Kitchen

The guest bathroom

Heather and Marc-Andre's Room

The Packer Room

WE ARE IN!!!!!!!!!!

2007-10-05T23:05:00.000-05:00

We finally made it into our wonderful home. Sorry this update is so late. We moved in 2 weeks ago, just before Heather and Marc-Andre came down to visit. They were lots and lots of help. MA had fun learning how to operate a skid steer loader and Heather had fun organizing the kitchen and helping me hang up pictures!

I don't have any pictures yet, there are still some boxes around so I would like to get those taken care of before I show the house to everyone.

It sounds like I may have a new job opportunity in tree care just north of Austin to just south of where we live. I would be a consulting arborist, have my own company truck, computer, and phone. I wouldn't get my appointments online every morning, go to them, and go home. Spencer and I are still discussing if this is what is best for our family right now, but we will see soon. I have to let the owner of the company know by the end of the week whether I am interested or not. Well, I am going to go watch my husband play some football on his PS2 and write some more thank you notes.

Sailing!

2007-09-07T19:05:00.000-05:00

We had a wonderful time sailing on Lake Michigan with Mom and Dad on Monday. Spencer was a natural at the helm! (Even when he was being chased by PIRATES!!!)

We had a safe trip back to Texas and it decided to rain Tuesday night and Wednesday morning so Spencer wasn't able to work on Wednesday, but I did, I started by job book keeping for the owner of the wine sellers husband. It dried out enough that Spencer was able to go back to work on Thursday. Dona and I started moving things into the house yesterday. We mostly moved kitchen stuff. All of our dishes are in their place and looking nice! I can't wait to move in and get everything organized ( I may need Heather's help when she and MA come down at the end of the month ;) ) Spencer said today that he will probably be able to get the backhoe over to the house next week, which means that our septic will be put in and we can MOVE IN!!!

When I get done with work in 45 mins I am going to join Spencer and his friend Jeff over at the Jarrell HS Football field to watch Jeff's brother play. I work again tomorrow from 12-8 I hope there are more customers tomorrow than there were today!

Almost There!!!!

2007-08-29T17:07:00.000-05:00

So the electricians finished yesterday! The painters are finishing today! So that means that tomorrow...... WE GET TO START MOVING IN!!!!!!! We are so excited, I will be putting more pictures up as I get them. I have been a little busy with getting our wedding scrapbook done so I can take it to Lake Geneva this weekend. I had to clean the house up a little bit yesterday because Spencer's sister Mindy and her son Cole (almost 4 months old) are comming in today!

I hope to get at least a little bit of moving done before we leave on Friday for Chicago! I am excited to be going to our family reunion in Lake Geneva. We got to see some of the family at our wedding, but we will get to see more this weekend.

I will have more later! It's back to work for another 45 mins and then to the grocery store to get things for dinner, then home to make dinner and to spend time with Mindy, Cole, Dona, and evetually my husband when he gets home from his 7:30 inspection in Temple.

Almost done!!!

2007-07-31T12:52:00.000-05:00

Here are a couple more pictures of the interior of the house.

The guest bathroom shower!

The kitchen! I love the granit, cabinets, and paint color!

One of my favorite rooms! The great room!!!!!

I'M MARRIED!!!!!!!

2007-07-27T11:13:00.000-05:00

Mmmmmmmm Cake! Noooooo Not In the Water!!!!!!

The wedding was perfect! We had great weather and everything went smoothly! Here are a couple of pictures from the day.

Spencer and I are so happy to be married. It didn't set in that we were married till about the end of the honeymoon week. We are now living with his mom till the house is finished, which should be soon!!!!! Everything is looking good. We can't wait to move in!

Back in Illinois!

2007-06-27T08:30:00.000-05:00

Well, I am back in Illinois now till the wedding. I have high speed internet again so I will be posting pictures soon. Here is just one of the house. According to Spencer it is the BEST ROOM EVER!!!!! What do you think?

The floors are done (excluding the carpet in the bedrooms), and the cabinets were put in on Monday!! Everything looks really nice. I can't wait to move in!!!

Moving!!

2007-05-31T22:32:00.000-05:00

Friday is my last day at work. It seems weird to me that I am leaving and moving to a whole new place to start a new life. I have always come back home and this time I'm not. I am truly looking forward to my new life with Spencer but I am going to miss my parents and other family that lives in the area.

Spencer comes in tomorrow and we have a packed weekend. We are packing up the truck on Sunday afternoon and Monday morning Dad and I are getting on the road in a Penski truck and pulling my car.

I think the thing I am most looking forward to in the next four weeks that I will be down in Texas is the time that Spencer and I will get to spend together. As most of you know our entire relationship has been long distance and it has been hard on both of us. To tell you the truth both of us are ready to throw our phones out the window. We talked over 3,000 minutes last month alone and we have been together for 16 months. I am looking forward to hanging out at night and having dinner on the table for him and his mom (who I am going to be living with) as well as just being a couple that live in the same area!!!!!! Both of us are glad that we have had this experience, but we are ready to be married and just be together.

I don't have any new pictures of the house but I will very soon so I will update that then. I hope all is going well!!!

I'M MOVING TO TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love you Spencer!!!!!

The House!

2007-05-07T17:17:00.000-05:00

Here is an updated picture of the house! I will probably have more soon. The rock for the outside of the house was supposidly delivered today!

Weekend in Texas

2007-05-01T13:41:00.000-05:00

So Spencer and I had a WONDERFUL weekend together. We picked out our cabinets and looked at paint colors. I don't have a fully updated picture of the house, but here is one of how the house looked last week. Since this picture was taken they have put the black fabric on the roof to dry it in and put the siding up on the three little eves that they are putting it on. The rest of the house is all going to be rocked. They also finished drying in the bottom of the carport and porches. Saturday they put in all of the duct work and stuff for the A/C and Furnace. The house is really starting to come together. There are going to be lots of changes between now and when I see it next. I will hopefully get more pictures from my WONDERFUL fiance soon!!!!

The roof!!!

2007-04-16T22:45:00.000-05:00

They got the rafters up today and I think that it is really starting to look like a house. I wish I was down there to see the house go up, but Spencer is doing a wonderful job keeping me updated not only on the phone but with lots of pictures!!!!!

House Update!

2007-04-12T20:58:00.000-05:00

So the wall frames went up yesterday and then today they started putting up the ceiling joists and closing in the master room closet which is our safe room!!!

The Walls!!!

2007-04-11T12:25:00.000-05:00

Yesterday was a big day for Spencer and me. The walls on our house started to go up!!!! Now if the framers showed up early enough today they might've been able to get all the rest of the walls up today, but who knows! We are getting there!

So the next couple of weekends are going to be CRAZY for me. This weekend I am going to Texas and we are going to buy our wedding bands, pick out tuxes, pick out our faucets and such, and look at cabinet samples. The next weekend I am going to Bloomington (to see Bridget!!!) then to Champaigne (to see Lisa, Ryan, & Stephen!!!!!!). The next weekend I am potentially going back down to Texas. The first weekend in May I am going to Ohio for a friends wedding. The weekend after that is my family shower at home. The weekend after that I am back down in Texas. Then I have a weekend at home. My last day at Kramer Tree Specialists is going to be June 1st!!!!! The first weekend in June Spencer is comming up for a church engagement party. In the week following Dad and I are loading up a Uhall truck and moving me down to Texas!!!!!!! So, I am really going to be busy for the next two months, but I am really looking forward to it!!! Hopefully I will have more pictures to post after this weekend!

Can you tell where the toilets go?

2007-03-26T21:35:00.000-05:00

The pluming is in and when it stops raining and drys up a little they will be able to pour the concrete!!!!

Our new home!!!!

2007-03-10T20:19:00.000-06:00

So they started our house today!!! They have most of the forms up. They ran out of wood so they are going to finish it up either Monday or Tuesday!!!! I am so excited!!!!! Anyway they should have the screening in soon and then the hard plumming and finally the concrete!! We are on our way to having our first house!!!!!

My new Family!!

2007-02-28T21:08:00.000-06:00

So, while I was in Texas I got to see my first kids, 37 Polish Chicks !!!!!!!!! Here are some pictures of my kids. I know that they have grown a lot since I have seen them last and I can't wait to see them all grow up!! There are going to be some black with white tufts, white with black tufts, and Spencer says that there might even be some that are kind of silver with black tips on their wings. So it will be interesting to see all of them grow up!!!!!! (There are some cochin chicks in the picture that are Spencer's Dad's) Here is a picture of one of our Hereford Calfs aswell. Isn't he cute?

Decisions!!!!!!!

2007-02-24T15:05:00.000-06:00

Here are the two dresses Dona purchased as the mother of the groom!! What do you think??? Which one should she wear? The wedding is July 14th!!

The Pictures!!!!!

2007-02-13T17:29:00.000-06:00

One year anniversary!!

2007-02-12T13:40:00.000-06:00

Sorry it has taken me so long to post agian. I have been a little busy at work lately. Anyway, Spencer and my one year anniversary was wonderful. He came in Friday January 26th, on the 27th we stuffed all of our save-the-date cards so that we could send them out the next week. Then we both got dressed up and went into Chicago for the night. Spencer didn't know where we were going. I didn't know if he would really like it but he had never been into Chicago so I thought that I would give it a try. He had never had fondu before either so I took him to The Melting Pot! He loved it!!!!! Touch Down Emily!!!!!!!! We had our own private room down a hallway with a curtin and all. It was very romantic and there was a single rose on the table with a Happy Anniversary card signed by the staff. It took a little longer at the restaurant than we thought after opening gifts and all. So when we got to the Sears Tower they had already closed. We got there AT 7pm and that is when they closed. Oh well, I was really bumbed, but we made the best of it and I drove him around Chicago for a little while showing him some of the major things in the city. Including Soldier Field (The home of the 2006 NFC Champion Chicago Bears!!!!) So we got home at a good hour and were able to spend some time just relaxing. Sunday we went to church and then to Grandmas for dinner where we celebrated Uncle Rollie's, Chelsea's, and Spencer's Birthday. Since the tickets I bought for the Sears Tower were good for another three days Spencer and I left a little early for the airport so that he could see the city from a different angle. (Another TD for Emily!!!!!) Unfortunately Spencer did have to go home so I had to take him to the airport ;( The bright side is that I get to go down and see him this weekend, AND he is going to have lots of Polish Chicks waiting for me when I get there!!!!!!! Well I have to go, my lunch break is over. I will put pictures up soon!!

The Holidays!!!

2007-01-02T15:38:00.000-06:00

Well the holidays are over and it is almost time to go back to work. But first we are going to have yet another wedding in the family. Heidi and Anthony are going to get married on the 6th in Champaign, IL. Three down one to go!!!!!

I have had a wonderful time being with Spencer over the past two weekends and he comes in on Thursday for Heidi's wedding. So I will be able to spend this weekend with him aswell.

This past weekend I was down in Texas (my soon to be new home). I had a good time with his mom, sister and sister's kids. We talked about the wedding and started to get more things nailed down for the rehersal dinner. We still have a lot to do, but it is all so much fun.

Last week Heather, Heidi, Mom and I went bridesmaid dress shopping. We found the dress and it only took us about a half hour to do. So we have my dress ordered and paid for and two out of three bridesmaid dresses ordered. So things are comming along!!!!!!

Well we have the last reception for Heather and Marc-Andre tonight so I should go and help finish getting ready!

2006-12-02T10:43:00.000-06:00

Well, back to work after a wonderful week in Germany! Heather and Marc-Andre are married!!!!! The wedding was beautiful and the reception was fun.

We spent the rest of the week going around Germany to different towns that are a part of our heritage.

It was great to have Spencer there for the short time that he was able to join us. While we were walking in Lauterbach we found a store that was named VOGT, so we got our picture taken in front of it. After the brunch on Sunday morning we had Katy take some engagement pictures.

Stephen did wonderfully on the plane on the way home. He didnt cry once!! It was great to have the whole family together, especially with the new addition of Stephen and the other boys!!!

Well, I had a wonderful time in Germany but it is good to be home again, besides going back to work. It will be good to have everyone together again for Heidi's wedding in January!

The Reception Hall

2006-10-29T15:26:00.000-06:00

This is Jennifer's Garden in Morris at 47 and I-80.

2006-10-29T15:19:00.000-06:00

This is Christ Community Church in Plainfield off of Van Dyke and 127th St.

I'm Engaged

2006-10-21T10:56:00.000-05:00

I can't believe it. Spencer showed up yesterday and surprised me. He had flown in early yesterday morning and spent the whole day with my parents. They went to The Morton Arboretum for lunch.
Spencer took me out for a romantic dinner at Mill Race Inn in Geneva. I guess that it was one of my grandparents favorite places to go. Then he surprised me with a horse drawn carriage ride through the historic part of Geneva. After about 15-20 min. we got off the the carriage and started to walk on a path that goes right along the river. While we were walking he got down on his knee and asked, "Emily Darice Lorimor, will you marry me and be my wife?" in reply I said,"Yes,Yes,Yes!!!" Then we walked back to the carriage and rode around a little longer. When we got home my family was there waiting in anticipation that Spencer had done something. So we are engaged!!!!

Time Flies!!!!

2006-09-29T11:59:00.000-05:00

So, a lot has happened since my last post.

Spencer and I went to the Bears Vs. Packers game on Sep 10th at Lambeau Field. It was a great game (if you were a Bears fan). GO Bears GO!!! We won 27-0!!!! We are looking forward to the Dec 31st game in Chicago. It will be a little on the cold side, but it should still be fun.

Stephen had is 3 month birthday on the 28th of this month. He is growing so fast. I can't believe how big he is getting. I was able to go down there last weekend. Ryan, Heidi, Dave (Ryan's Dad), and I went to the Iowa, UofI game. It was fun. Heidi and I got some good time together!

Spencer and I have decided that we are going to live in Texas. I am going down there this weekend and we are going to meet with a builder on Saturday. We have two house designs that we really like. I am sure that the builder will have a couple aswell. It will be interesting to see what comes of this weekend.

Chelsea's Married!!

2006-09-06T11:50:00.000-05:00

6 Months!!!

2006-08-03T22:18:00.000-05:00

I can't believe that Spencer and I have been together for 6 months already. Although it seems like a lot longer sometimes. For our anniversary Spencer decided to get me a Walter Payton jersey. I LOVE IT!! He is so thoughtful. I was able to go down and spend last weekend with him and his family. I have met all three sisters and their families now. So I have met everyone in his immediate family. We went out on his Harley Saturday morning into the afternoon, and then we went to his friend's wedding reception. We had lots of fun dancing together after we got used to the way the other person danced we did alright. I didn't realize how popular the two-step was down there. I guess that is what everyone does down in Texas. But now I have to wait 4 weeks till I get to see him again! I hate having to leave after spending time with him but I know that we will be together someday. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Well, as of June 28th I am an Aunt!!!! My sister Lisa gave birth to a boy. Stephen Larry Leatherman was 8lbs 8oz and 21 inches long. Everyone is doing great. Stephen was 3 weeks old as of yesterday. I was able to see him on the 4th of July when Spencer and I were driving back from Colorado. I can't wait to see him again.
