Quite a bit has happened here in Cola, not sure where to start so hold on, here we go! First of all I have our One Year Old Son Jackson sitting in my lap trying to help me with this post. Thankfully we have spell check and the all too convenient backspace key. (Okay, well three weeks ago when I started this post he was on my lap...but now just finishing.
- St. Patty's Day Family Celebration in Five Points (Damn we look good in Green)
- Tornado's ripped through Columbia, surrounding areas, and our neighborhood (thankfully the twister jumped over our subdivision but unfortunately hit the one just past ours) I sure as hell thought we left that damn stuff when we moved from MO. The crazy thing is we did not think too much of it because Cola does not have storm sirens! Pretty devastating storm, approximately 89 homes destroyed
- Tanner is kicking goals and taking names at our YMCA soccer league. Could be the great coaching by me!
- Work...busy, thank God
- Lent is over...it appears I gave up cycling instead of beer...
- Road trip to one of SC's great State Parks about 20 miles from Augusta for a weekend in the motor home on Lake Thurmond. Yes, Strom Thurmond was big in SC
- Easter weekend and Jackson's first birthday spent in the great outdoors
- Yes, we spent Easter weekend in the "Church of the Great Outdoors" and his creation was beautiful
- Terri and Jackson are in Springfield for the week, Terri's sister (one of five) Kathy passed away Saturday night (prayers go out to her and her family)
- This house is really quiet without them
- The kids kick my butt in Nintendo Wii
- Taking a family vacation in the motor home for the first two stages of the Tour De Georgia (Tybee Island camp site first night, Savannah second night, driving to Augusta to see the finish of Stage two) really excited
- Got a new grill (very cool) and overheard the kids telling Terri how she has missed great dinners this week (made me feel really good)
- Tanner received his Reading Counts T-shirt-award for great reading!
- Jackson is walking like a retired man out at the mall
- Congrats to my friend Jimmy on the news of a new baby daughter (best wishes my friend, truly the greatest thing you will ever experience)
Enjoy the pics....stay dry in MO.
Thanks for reading, Y'all tune in again soon.

Just saw the latest blog. Guess I have been lax also!
I really enjoyed Terri and Jacksons stay in spfd. Sad reason but am happy that they stayed with me and I got to know Jackson a little better. He is sooooo cute and quite the little charmer. Just like someone else I know.
Love you all........Mom
Marcus,
Good to hear from you. Hope all is well in the Triad. If you are ever down in S Carolina give me a yell.
Riding here is great, so everyone tells me. All I am getting in is Tour de Neighborhood pulling our 13month around and chasing the two older kids.
Thanks for reading!
