Date Night with Todd Agnew

Bryan's favorite musician came to the Waukesha area again! (Click here for his previous visit). We met up with the Wolniakowskis and the Weinbergs from our small group and enjoyed a GREAT concert. A band from our church (C2K) opened for Todd, and afterwards we chatted with the C2K bass player, Jim. Jim and his kids spent the afternoon playing kickball with Todd, and they REALLY enjoyed getting to know him.

Unfortunately, we did not get a picture with Mr. Agnew. He was battling the flu earlier in the week, so he didn't have a "meet & greet" time after the concert. However, we did get some great video that's we'll post once we get a faster-moving computer!

Daddy Comes Home Today!

Bryan is working as a National Board Examiner this weekend, testing students on their final (clincial) phase of becoming an optometrist. Katie and I are by ourselves this weekend but are not lonely!

Yesterday, my co-worker Ava and I went to a couple of cutsie shops in Pewaukee. Last night, 2 couples and their kids came over for Bible Study. Peyton loves balls--and he (nor his parents) care if they're kid toys or dog toys! I made dinner--spagetti sauce in a crockpot, garlic bread, salad, cheesecake and ice cream cake. Everything was delicious!

Here's Katie, waiting for Daddy to come home.

Our Spaghetti Eater

It happened again!

Bryan and I were eating spaghetti at our coffee table as our small group began to arrive at our house. Beth and Mark Earnest were the first to arrive, along with their dog Colby. Shadow and Colby were playing around in the foyer...then Shadow left while Bryan and I were taking the Earnests' coats.

I heard the sound of a dog wolfing down dinner...Bryan's dinner...of freshly-hot spaghetti and cheddar cheese. Obviously, we have a lot to learn about Shadow.

Our hamburger-eater

Shadow has disappointed me greatly.

Our bible study met at our home on Tuesday evening. Because Bryan and I carpooled to work together that day and because snow was falling (again!), our drive home took a little longer than usual. Since our drive took an hour, we decided to stop at a Kopp's custard stand for burgers and custard.

I was enjoying my burger when the doorbell rang at 7:30 - our small group was arriving. Shadow and I greeted Todd Taylor (the dark-haired guy in the picture), and as I took Todd's coat, Shadow ran back to the living room where I was eating my burger. As soon as I realized that my burger was left on the coffee table, I ran back to the area. It was too late. Shadow ate my burger.
