We had the kids' pictures taken yesterday for Christmas.  They turned out even better than I expected. I would love to hear your thoughts on which ones to choose. Here is a link to view them. Password is gerds125

We are so proud of Randy's mom. She organized an effort to get fresh onions, potatoes and beans to a local food bank. It was  covered by the local news. Here is the link to watch the story. It's very moving.

Husker Game!

For Randy's 40th birthday I bought him Husker tickets on the 50 yard line. We went down this past weekend. It was so fun to see all the floats (homecoming) and all the people in red. We fit in great down there since red and purple (Huskies) make up most of our wardrobe. We went downtown around noon (game started at 6) and walked around, hit some shops and had lunch. We checked out the tailgaters and Randy fantasized about living their and tailgating at every home game. We are trying to find a time to go down again.

Grape stomping...

Last Saturday Randy and I and a group of friends from the lake went to Carlos Creek Winery for a grape stomping festival. Becky and I entered the stomping contest.(team name: stomp your "wine"ing) We didn't win but have our strategy ready for next year. There were 150 vendors and of course wine tasting. We spent about 8 hours there and had a great time. I highly recommend it to everyone. The area is beautiful and the festival is a lot of fun.
