Springfield here we come

We're finally headed back to Springfield to visit with Jeremy's parents. We haven't been there since New Year's and are looking forward to a relaxing weekend. We also get to meet the Pedigo's new baby boy. Here's a picture. Isn't he the cutest!

She's off!

Well, Karissa left for Africa last Friday. We took her to the airport at 4:30 AM! She flew from STL to Chicago to NY to Johannsburg, South Africa to Malawi. All her flights went smoothly, but she's still missing her largest bag. We finally just found out that it left NY two days later than she did, but it's still not showing up on South African Airways system, so hopefully it will soon and she'll have her clothes back. She said she's been borrowing from the family she's living with.

She also has a blog that she's hoping to update with pictures and details about her time there. If you want access to that, email me. I would post pictures from the airport the day she left, but we used her camera, so we haven't seen them yet either.

M-I-Z!!!!!!!!!

Our good friends Adam and Erin Toth got us tickets to the Arch Rivalry game between Mizzou and il over the Labor Day weekend. The game was here in STL at the Edward Jones Dome. It was awesome! Our seats were pretty high in the il endzone, but it was really cool to see the plays take shape from way up there. Oh yeah, and we killed them. We're looking forward to a great season! Go Tigers!

Hermann Getaway

Well, we've been pretty busy since I last posted. We took my sister to a cute little bed and breakfast in Hermann, MO as her last getaway before leaving to live in AFRICA, yes I said AFRICA for 6 months. Here's some pictures from our trip.

On a wine tour.
