Welcome to Minnesota!

Wow, what a way to win your first game in the Purple. I'll admit to being less than thrilled with getting involved in the #4 circus. But without question he is a better QB than any option they had. (I am disappointed they let John David Booty go and kept the other 2 clowns, so long-term there's still no answer). But with that said, we have a QB in Minny who can actually lead a game winning drive, something we're unfamiliar with. (Culpepper had 2 in his 7 seasons).

Enjoy Paul Allen's call from KFAN here....

Some overdue updates

First, before the updates, Congratulations to my brother Mike! He completed his 5th 100+ mile ride as part of the Team in Training program. He rides to help fight the horrible disease Leukemia which has directly affected our family. Great job Mike, we're VERY PROUD OF YOU!! A link to Mike's Team in Training (TNT) webpage is on the right side of this page.




Below are a few shots of the puppies. They are in full gear these days, playing, wrestling, chewing on each other. They're eating food 2x a day, since Baxter doesn't like their teeth much.

Line 'em up

How'd she do that?? Mama Baxter lines them up in order, with Number 1 on the left, number 8 on the right.

What's up?

A good shot of a couple of precious faces.

Seems like ...

... a fine place for a nap

The teams huddle

A puppy huddle.

Meanwhile, the Gray's have their own huddle to discuss strategy.

Now THAT was a good dinner!

You know how it is after a good meal. This gray puppy on top has found a VERY comfortable position.
