By On August 17, 2011 · Leave a Comment
It’s been a long month…well July was anyway.  We did some traveling, partied, sweated & spent a lot of time being sick.  It was a busy month.  It all started with a trip to the Cities (The Cities, for those of you who don’t live in Minnesota or surrounding states, refers to Minneapolis/St Paul)  over […]

Some photos from Father’s Day (Abe’s first). We started the day with breakfast almost in bed.  The guys came down just as I finished fixing the plates.  After breakfast Abe did a little mowing (I’m sidelined from mowing again as our rider died).  While Abe mowed, Magnus & I made a card.  Magnus liked the […]

Saturday we celebrated my nephew Micah’s 1st birthday.  Everybody (well nearly everybody) got together to eat, visit & watch the little kids zoom around.  My sister-in-law Jennifer did an excellent job of putting together the party.  The food was excellent & the cake was super fun.  I’m going to have her attempt a […]

This post is a little late but I have had a sick baby and other things going on.  Thankfully Magnus is starting to feel better and sleep at night again.

Memorial weekend was fairly uneventful.  We celebrated a nephew’s first birthday on Saturday.  Magnus was too fussy to stay very long.  Sunday we rented a […]

Into the West: A Year of Change

By On January 3, 2011 · 1 Comment

Since it is de riguer to do a retrospective post I could hardly swim against the current (I don’t swim with the current either…I prefer the beach) so here’s my recap.

The year of 2010 was one of huge changes for me.  First we moved from our home near Duluth, MN to a town near […]
