She Won't Stop Staring

Miles has been terrified of this for years:


I never wanted to give in to his fears. I thought he would get over it. Plus, I really like it. I was wrong about him getting over it. So, last night Matt took it down to the basement and replaced it with a new piece of art. Which will be the picture of the day tomorrow!

Here is the Church, and Here's the Steeple...

I took the weekend off of sending Mom pictures because I was spending the weekend with Mom. Now I am back in good, ol' STL. Let the pictures resume.

Let Me Explain

At the bottom of the driveway, at the house I grew up in is this:


...list of initials and numbers. These are the initials and years of birth of my siblings and I. We have not lived in this house since I was 13 but the list is still there. I know it's hard to read so I called Dad and he filled me in on all the years. They are as follows:

Laura Johnson     (LJ) 62
Lee Johnson        (LJ) 63
Patrick Johnson   (PJ) 67
Timothy Johnson (TJ) 70
Jennifer Johnson  (JJ) 72
John Johnson        (JJ) 78
Michaela Johnson (MJ) 80
Margaret Johnson (MJ) 82
