So Emma and Drew each got bikes with training wheels on them this weekend. Not new new..but new to them and they could not be happier. These are Clara and Tommy’s old bikes…but who cares. I put on the training wheels and a bell on Emma’s and she was off to the races. Drew does not ride his, he just leads it around by the handle bars. Emma calls her bike bullseye and her name is Jessie… ala Toy Story.

We had an awesome big kid lunch this weekend with mom. So great to share lunch with everyone knowing everyone gets along so well. I know some people say its odd the way my ex and current wife get along so well..but it works and I really think that’s the way it’s supposed to be!

Tommy talks about his 2 daughters Madeline and Clara and their persistence and growth. madeline was accepted to Show Choir as a sophomore. What a HUGE accomplishment and Clara is running cross country. Her time consistently get better and better at each race. Keeping at it is the only way to get better. Some times you fall and finish last, but if you never try, you can never get better.

Today marks the first day of school for Madeline, Clara and Tommy. How great it is to see their excitement and joy of learning. Clara is also on the cross country team. How fun for her. last night I had the opportunity to see and be a part of the return flight of the Old Glory Honor Flight. Almost 1000 people cam to ATW to see these vets return from their day in Washington DC. What an honor to pay tribute to such valiant servicemen and women.

Well kids we had a good old fashions thumping storm last evening. Golf ball sized hail, serious wind and rain in buckets. It just poured and poured and the trees were pounded by the hail. You could see accumulation of hail in some spots. This comes the evening after our new North Social media Breakfast in Green bay. I love getting paid to attend these events. This one focused on the financial market. It was wonderful to learn from people in the industry and see how they use social media, WELL DONE!
