Eric has become quite the storyteller. He will go on and on and on about everything he can think of. He literally talks about everything he has going on in his brain. Sometimes, he is talking so fast we just can't understand a word he is saying. However, he seems to be getting the fact that he has to put some structure around them, an intro, a plot, and then bring it all back full circle with his ending.

His teachers at school captured his first true story that I thought I would share. Surprise, surprise...it is about hockey. ;O)

Famous Hockey Player, by Eric Lohse
I am the most famous hockey player ever.
I play for the team with the crest.
I am doing good with hockey.
It is still a good hockey and goalie stick.
I am famous because I wear a helmet.
I like to play hockey ever.
The End.

Open for Business!

Doug's Mantown officially opened for business for the Superbowl. It is awesome having such a nice space to have friends over and watch sports. (I am not sure if I am allowed to say this, but I even hosted Book Club down there last week!) Doug did a fantastic job designing it and minus the barstools, stayed under budget. Too bad the Packers couldn't have made an appearance this year in the Superbowl...that would have made for some party!

Bella Bear

We had an awesome trip to Maine this weekend to meet our Baby Bella. Both cousin Eric and Pia (along with Auntie Val and Uncle Doug) are totally in love with her. We can't wait to see the Bachmans again. Thanks for having us!

Hard at Work!

Good, Good Night!
