The Steussy Ranch

2008 was one for the records … lots of them. Budapest, Steussy reunion, Dan-dan learns to read, Camilla starts to spell, Aaron learns to walk. Big days.

2009? I’m cautiously optimistic (and am back in the stock market, officially).

Gabi wins for the week and for the year! Temecula takes 5.5 wins from the 17 week season – not too bad.

Given her first place position, Gabi would like to announce the Indianapolis Colts as her one and only choice for the Superbowl. [Added Monday morning] There is a Peter King story about Peyton Manning and his knee problems this summer, which suddenly makes Indy a much, much better pick than it was last night.

Christmas 2007

What a tough week! We haven’t seen scores this low in ages. Andy wins! Gabi is still ahead in the race for best of season (though now Andy has the record with three total wins).

Next month, Camilla will get the same award that Dan-dan just received. We’re rounding up the best Camilla photos of the year, since we need them for a poster that is being put up in her school. Thought people might like to see them.
