Saturday morning Dane and I headed up to St. Louis. Dave was taking a test in Jeff City all day and we were going to hang out with Mama and Papa until he needed us to pick him up in Arnold. After we ate lunch with Mama and Papa we went to grab a couple of things at Target. Of course there are tons of things are clearance right now. Mama and I wandered through the shoe dept. and happened to find some shoes for $3 that were perfect for Dane.
He looks so big in his carseat these days!
Add a pair of cute little shoes and wow, what a big boy!
About 3:30 we headed out to Arnold to meet Dave. He took the Firefighters I and II certification tests in Jeff City and passed BOTH tests! YIPPEE! Now just two more weeks of class and then this is all over with!
After picking Dave up we went to Rhonda and Don's house to spend the evening. For those of you that don't know: Rhonda and I had never met when we were paired up as roommates at SEMO in the fall of 1992. We were roommates in the dorms, a house, and then two different apartment complexes. After graduation Rhonda moved to DC and I was in St. Louis. She was in our wedding and I was in hers. Rhonda and Don moved back to St. Louis about 3 years ago. Rhonda has a beautiful three year old daughter, Katherine. I will never forget the day I got an email last January. She said, "What is your due date again?" I told her July 28th. She said, "Oh I was hoping we would be able to share a room at Missouri Baptist." Seventeen years later we had baby boys born 20 days apart. It was great to hang out with the Lynotts. The guys watched football and Rhonda and I hung out and talked about our babies.

Our boys- Thomas born August 10th and Dane born July 21st
Thomas was really checking Dane out
Katherine really entertained the boys. She wanted to get in on the picture.
Dane finally seems to realize there is a little boy next to him.
We spent the night at Mama and Papa's. Dane always sleeps so well there....he slept until 7:00. We decided to go check out Pierre Marquette to see the Eagles. Papa, Mama, Dave, Dane, and I went to lunch, then met Aunt Amy, Uncle Darnel and the kids to head up towards Alton, IL. We stopped at the Lock and Dam Museum.
Dane was sleeping, so Dave and I got our picture taken in front of the big blown up eagle by ourselves.
Inside the museum you could make Eagle hats. Dave made one for Dane.
Delaney and Trey loved their hats!

We also spotted one in the tree
After our afternoon of eagle watching we went back to Mama and Papa's house to celebrate Uncle Darnel's birthday. Trey was so excited that Dane was wearing an outfit with a train on it!
We had Spaghetti-Lasagna, which was a new dish for our family, it was absolutely delicious! We then opened gifts. Dave and I got Darnel a Mizzou shirt.
Dane gave Darnel his first Godfather card and a giftcard to Target
We had cookie cake, Darnel's favorite, and Turtle Ice Cream cake
The Frost family with their Birthday Boy!
We headed home Sunday evening after eating entirely too much food!
