Getting ready for school

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.

Joey’s T-ball season comes to an end

This is a couple of weeks old but Joey had his last T-Ball game. I enjoyed watching my little bud play. Just like going to the Twins game a couple of weeks back, this is something a Dad dreams of for his boy.

Mixed in here are some pictures from an earlier game with Joey’s buddy Nathan.
