__________________________________________________________

GRANDSON, DEVIN, IS NOW PLAYING WITH

THE CHRISTIAN BAND,

WITHOUT EXCUSE 



Big Announcement!! We are SUPER excited to
welcome Devin, our newest member of WithoutExcuse. We wanted to photoshop Dalton and Andrew into the picture becaus...e they couldn't make it to our meeting last night. So just imagine them in the picture too Devin plays all kinds of instruments and sings, but he will concentrate on rhythm guitar and some bass (did we mention bass, Devin?), allowing Dalton to "work the stage". His first show with WE will be on August 16th at Six Flags Great America! Can't wait for you to meet him. We have a feeling he's going to fit in with this group of unique personalities really well.

 

WAY TO GO, DEVIN!

Home Again and Fulfilled.....

       Climbing into bed at 1 AM Thursday
 finished 3 weeks of travel and family visiting for me.  I feel fulfilled and refreshed, (though tired).  I spent time with all my Wisconsin family and visited a number of friends in Park Falls.  The 2nd week centered around the Grandma G and Austin Great Adventure to the Pacific Northwest and the 3rd week featured the Grandma G and Jake Great Adventure to the Midwest.  These 2 weeks were fun for Jake and Austin to hang out together since they are about 5 weeks apart in age, live 2,000 miles apart and play video games together through a technology I don't understand.
