MEA Weekend-Up North

We had a VERY fun weekend! We left for Leigh Ann's right after we picked up Dan from work. We got there at about 9pm. We would have been there sooner but traffic is always crazy. The whole Pearson clan was there, even HUSBANDS!!!! That doesn't happen very often. Usually when we all get together it is without our husbands. (not purposely, they are usually working)
Saturday was spent at Ruttger's. Greg is the Head Golf Pro for the course. Ruttger's was having their annual Oktoberfest. The kids were able to be a part of a tractor pull. We also walked around and saw all of the vendors they have there. The guys were all able to go golfing together. Aaron just liked driving the golf cart and scaring his father. I wish I could have been there to see that. :)
We spent the night in a condo at Ruttgers. It was right next to the lake. My little fishermen, Luke and Drew, tried to fish but didn't catch anything. It was beautiful up north with all of the leaves changing.
I think the hardest part about getting together is knowing that we eventually have to leave and say good-bye to everyone.

MORE FOOTBALL!!

Football and Volleyball are coming to an end. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! It has been a good season for Aaron and Luke. Both of their teams continue to be undefeated. Homecoming was Friday in St. Charles. Drew loves any reason to be able to wear orange and black. (school colors) Luke got to play on the RCTC football field this Saturday. It was artificial terf which he thought was cool. He also had a great sack of the quarterback!!
My father-in-law was recently diagnosed with Hodkins Lymphoma. He started Chemo 2 weeks ago. We are praying for the best in this situation. It is always hard to watch love ones go through difficult times. Last night he was admitted to the ICU with what they think is Pneumonia. He is doing better now that he has had some antibiotics. We hope to get him home soon.
We hope all is well for everyone! I am sure everyone is looking forward to MEA break. HA!
