Greg's Greetings

We are just beginning all of the “busyness” that comes along with the holiday season. This was quite apparent as Tricia and I took our daughters and their respective husband and boyfriend to the Mall of America for some Christmas shopping a couple weekends ago. It was a great weekend...

Notes from Steve

It’s officially (unofficially) winter - per the blizzard last night. And it’s not welcome. And it’s sloppy and dangerous and not fair. (“stomp stomp stomp”) The only thing good about this time of winter is that most people hate it, and I love to commiserate with others, so this is...

Notes from Steve

I joined a book club recently. I’ve never done anything like this before, and I thought it might be just a reason to get together to drink wine and eat (it kind of is), but also you have to read a book and discuss. My first meeting was last week...

Amy's Reflections

After watching the video from QEMS five different times, I decided to challenge my family with a phone free day. So, this past Sunday we put our phones away and enjoyed conversation and connecting with one another. We were almost late for church as no one knew what time it...

Notes from Steve

Last Saturday, November 9th it was warm enough for a long bike ride in Des Moines. I was smiling like an idiot the whole time and waving at everyone I passed. My mood was for the most part giddy because it probably was the last ride of the year and...

Notes from Steve

I broke my friend’s cat (she’s 9 which is like 55 in human years) that I’m cat-sitting for 5 months while my friend is in Thailand. By broke, I mean the cat (her name is McKenzie, I call her Fred) was trained to use a cat box that she had...

Amy's Reflections

Our family has definitely been supporting the ISH system this last month. Three of my four kids ended up with concussions for various reasons. I think we have the protocols for concussions down now. The concussions started with Jacob being blindsided in a football game. It took him a couple...

Notes from Steve

I thought about writing about the RAGBRAI debacle. It’s been top of mind for me since last week. For those who aren’t following the “debacle” - the guy hired by the Des Moines Register for the last 16 years quit the paper and is starting another ride to compete with...
