Retirement celebration

Dad has been telling us for long time that he DOES NOT want a big celebration for his retirement.  He just doesn’t like a big deal made of things.  The boys and I still joke about the time that we were out for dinner for his birthday and he got word that we told the waitress about it.  He left our table after dinner and went out to the car before the waitress could come bring dessert and sing! ;)  We now know better.  We really wanted to do something for his retirement.  That’s a huge deal.  However, we followed his wishes and planned a nice dinner with just us kids and grandkids at the Timberlodge.  Last minute mom decided to invite a few friends and family.  It was hard for her to decide with such a big family and friends, but knew dad wouldn’t want something huge and it was last minute.  Dad wasn’t too happy with her when he found out at first , but got over it quickly as he enjoyed the celebration.  Congratulations dad!  Let us celebrate you once in awhile.

They have both  made it public now, so I can share that we are all so excited to have 2 sets of twins in the family!  Yes- you read it right.  Both Mattey and Natey’s wives are pregnant with twins.  Super fun!   I love the picture below of Wendell and Connor talking.  Wendell was a great sport with Connor sharing all of his jokes.  ;)

Happy Retirement Dad!!!!

 

Yesterday, Thursday, February 28th, was my dad’s last day of working at KSW.  He worked there for some 40 years.   Unbelievable.  My dad is one of the hardest workers I know.  You so deserve this dad!  We are very happy for you and excited for you to enjoy yourself.  Maybe after you’ve enjoyed yourself and relaxed a little, you can help us with our “To Do” list too! ;)  Congratulations dad!

Connor got to play basketball during half time of the varsity game tonight.  He was a little nervous.  The Huskies played a really good team so the bleachers were pretty packed.  He had fun though.  Matt is gone for work right now, but many others made it.  The whole Owatonna crowd made it, and Papa John and Yaya made the trip down to watch him.
