where I talk with my inside voice
We visited Noah for Parent’s Weekend and had lunch in Columbia at a nice BBQ place called COMO Smoke and Fire. Then we took a little trip to Boonville to take a tour of Warm Springs Ranch. It was pretty hot all day, but we still enjoyed seeing the horses and petting the yearlings. If you grew up in St....
We got Noah moved into his new room at Hatch Hall – he was hired as a Resident Assistant this year, so he had to move in two weeks early for training. I have fond memories of those weeks when I was an RA, although it doesn’t sound like they do as much team-building as we did back then. I...
Josie was among 30 high school students in Missouri selected to attend a week-long career camp called Life Science Quest at Mizzou. Each day was spent touring different facilities and labs, along with a couple of visits to off-campus locations, all with the purpose of exposing the students to many different career paths that are available within the College of...

I had never been to a homecoming...
Our firstborn son is now a college student. That day in the St. Luke’s delivery room, holding him in my lap, I sure wasn’t thinking about this day. It has always seemed so far away. But the sand keeps spilling through the hourglass, whether we want it to or not. So today we got our young man moved into his...

Where does the time go? I didn’t take many photos this trip, but I did get a few inside the Agriculture building –...
