~ Cindy Wilson, Elysian

“Happy 47th wedding anniversary for Brad and Karee Lehrman, junior high school sweethearts!”

Daphne and her sister Hazel got to ride to school in an Eden Prairie police car as a prize they won for a silent auction as a way to celebrate Daphne's 10th birthday, said Maija Hoehn. Even more special is that today is Officer Rob Geis' last shift after working 31 years at the Eden Prairie Police Department!

~ Maija and Jeremy Hoehn, Eden Prairie

“Claire Swingley turns 9 today! Her mom always listens to MPR (in Claire’s words ‘MPR news whomp, whomp, whomp…’). Maybe sometime she’ll like MPR. Until then, she loves the Disney Stitch character and is a great ‘mom’ to her 10 pets (four rabbits, one guinea pig, three dogs, two cats)!"

~ Lucas Swingley, Shoreview

“Happy graduation Sammy! GrAnty Net and Sammy are making cupcakes together today for her high school graduation party. GrAnty Net is so proud of you and loves you so much! Congratulations!”

~ Annette Peterson, St. Paul

“A fixture in Minnesota politics, as a political strategist and commentator, former Tim Pawlenty spokesman Brian McClung has a birthday today...happy birthday Brian.”

~ Cathy Wurzer
