Getting ready for school

The “Kindergarten Kid” aka Joey is pretty excited to be riding the bus with Elizabeth, having school lunch, and recess. He is a proud boy right now 🙂

Elizabeth is very happy to have her previous computer lab teacher as her homeroom teacher this year. She is a little nervous that not many of her friends are in her new class but is encouraged that she will have new friends.

Nice weekends at home with friends and family

We had a couple quiet summer weekends at home with friends and family. We watched Twins and Vikings games on the deck with friends, had family over for a couple of meals, took a trip to the mall, stained the deck and play set, and attended a family reunion.

A visit to Duluth with friends

Carolyn and I had a great time in Duluth with Dan and LeAnn this weekend while the kids were with Grandma and Grandpa. We had a nice time hanging out. We went to see some great sites including Goosebury Falls and Split Rock. Also, there were casual dinners, playing cards and bar trivia.
