ValleyFair






We hit up VF with Jared's side of the family. Beautiful day with temps in the mid 80's. Entered the park at 10:00 and left at 7:30. Anna stayed back with grandma. Emma slept for 10 hours and Ian slept for 11 hours. Great day! Grandpa managed to get a 15-minute nap in after lunch.

Birthday and Ahlberg Aquatic Center (AAC)





Emma had some friends over yesterday for her birthday party. Beautiful day in the mid 80's which meant AAC would be in use. If you haven't gone through it yet, let us tell you how enjoyable doing a birthday party for a 9 year-old is compared to the younger ages. I napped with Anna and Nicole was able to work on a class. Emma's birthday extravaganza is now complete.

Children's Message



For the past 6 months Anna has been attempting to sit through the 3 minute children's message in front of the congregation. This past Sunday we were shocked when she actually sat on the step just two kids away from Pastor Dan. Pastor was asking questions and Anna kept raising her hand. She wasn't being called on and finally looked at her mother and said, "I want to tell him something." She managed to stay up front for the message and when Pastor let everyone return to their seats, I looked at Nicole and said, "hey, we made it." Well, we hadn't. Anna stayed up front and followed Pastor Dan to the pulpit. She told him that we had a new puppy(which he repeated to the congregation) and that her name was Lucy(repeated also). After she got to tell him what she wanted, she promptly returned to us. Everyone got a great laugh out of her.

Lucy has arrived!

We picked up our new puppy today. 7 week old Cocker Spaniel. The kids are impressed. Daisy does not appear to be impressed as she relocated to another room so she could lay in peace and quiet.

Holy Moly What a Goalie

Ian's favorite position to play is goalie. He's really into it. Goalie equipment is $$expensive$$!

He Shoots, He SCORES!
