RAGBRAI 2009

RAGBRAI ( The Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa) 2009 has come and gone. Jenny & I had fun reacquainting with friends, riding, eating & camping.



(Steve, Judy, Jenny & I)




Yes this was our home for the week. (Thanks Jud for the loan) One important RAGBRAI fact, take ear plugs - you will camp next to a busy train track every other night.











The towns & people of Iowa were great fun.

Jenny's First Quilt

My wonderful wife Jenny has completed her first quilt and as you might guess, it's for Teya. It is just beautiful and has much love and character. The cathedrial design is perfect and Teya really loves the small pictures and such. Special thanks to Aunt Willodean who got Jenny started and taught her while we were in Six Mile South Carolina. Also to Kim Sawatzky and her Mom who helped Jen finish and get the quilting done while we were in Iowa last week. You guys are the best.

Jen is already planning Quilt #2.

Teya's First B-Day

We traveled to Chicago for a wonderful time with family and friends. Jenny & I were joined by Andy on the trip.

Cake anyone?

Teya is such a happy little girl. She has learned to shake her head NO, especially when you try to take her out of the swing.

Tracy's family hosted a great picnic and party, THANKS. Aunt Penny & family are the best. You should see the picture album she created! I will publish a photo album soon.
