Five ‘Til Noon

QuikTrip has better drinks that Schnucks.  It’s a joke but it’s true.  Uh … I don’t understand what I just said.

For Father’s Day this year, Jonathan cleaned the living room and dining room.  Now there’s a boy that knows that his father likes!  Aaron snuck a card into my wallet that I only discovered today at work, and Lana hand-crafted me a flower from construction paper.

1. I think she’s angry.
2. Maybe something bit her.
3. Don’t take that binky out.
4. Calm down!

Lana is officially on the web now.  She has started publishing photos from her camera to http://fivetilnoon.smugmug.com/Lana

Here’s a report Aaron wrote for school on the weapons of World War II.  Right up his alley of interest.

An excerpt:

The Lewis Gun’s length was 50.5 inches and it was gas operated. It weighed around 26 pounds unloaded and the barrel was 26 inches long. It had a rate of fire or around 550 rounds per minute. This gun has been in use before World War I even started. Even though it was incredibly heavy it was extremely accurate and reliable.

Download the full report.

I’ve moved all our online photos to SmugMug.  The old ones are still there temporarily, but all the new photos will be on SmugMug.

From Lana’s report on Illinois cities: “Chicago is home to the Chicago Cubs. Their team logo is a blue circle with a huge C in it and then ubs.”
