Sig Ep yell!

Those were the days! I would so love to have had the time to scan the pictures from the past to go along with this post! In some ways, especially the yell, it was just like old times. 100 Balanced Men gathering arm in arm to "He Ain't Heavy" and then chant their yell! Only difference...little slower, a lot grayer, and lot more pounds.

Come on, Tod, BE the next generation!

Pledge Sig Ep!

Baby's gone to Kindergarten!

I can't believe this time is here already! Reed started Kindergarten last Wednesday! And, I survived it! Shed some tears and went off to class myself! I

also never thought I would have a son who looked more like Mike than Tod....until Reed! Proud 3rd Grade Big Bro Cole and Reed!

Cole, Dad, Reed

Dad came through Texas on his way back to Florida from RAGBRAI! RAGRAI is a ride across the state of Iowa which Karen and Jay ride annually. He rode between 60 and 80 miles per day for two of the five days of RAGBRAI...on a five speed bike! Amazing. Following his ride, he brought his friend Gayle and Peanut for some R&R in blazing hot Texas!

Good times for all!
