Bob the builder...

Lori, Sam and Nathan came over for dinner while Todd was in Biloxi. They helped us with the basement.

Can we build it? Yes we can!

one year...

hard to believe that it has been a full year. we went out to dinner last night at Muffaletta's in the Park in St Paul. Excellent food and a great atmosphere. It was a really nice night out.
today we are bumming around. Mike made a great breakfast and now he's napping/watching football. I have to work tonight from 5-10ish, so Lauren is coming over to hang out. A very nice first anniversary.
Here we were one year ago...

Chillin with Grace....

Today I got to go to the high school for a bit. They have a class on child development and, as part of the class, they run a weekly one hour daycare for some kids. Grace goes every week and she enjoys it. I got to tag along today because we to listen to Tony Campolo and had to go straight from the high school to make it on time. He was interesting, but the topic was not what I had expected.
Here's a photo of Grace and I.

catching up....

here's some pics to catch up for the week.
me, bored out of my mind waiting for mike to pick me up after the retreat. taking pictures of the grass, the sky, whatever.


mikey with a halo, working on the basement.

the boys, in the bathroom all together.

i love fall in Minnesota. This is the entrance to our development. I wish that I had a really nice camera to take some pictures this fall and winter. I miss zoom and the nice camera we used to have, but I want a digital one and those are way expensive. I love the one I have now cause I can keep it in my purse, but I'll for sure want something nicer eventually.

Retreat!

So I'm leading a sr high retreat this weekend for just over 200 people. No pressure or anything. I'm talking at the next large group session in 10 minutes. I think I'm ready, I'm less nervous than normal.
Here's my band...
