A Walk with Gunnar

These are some trails behind our house that Gunnar LOVES! Today was a great day to go because it had rained earlier and so the temps were a lot cooler.

Happy Father's Day

Father’s Day is a great day to reflect on the importance of fathers and how our fathers helped us become the people we are today. I am so appreciative of the many great fathers in my life. My own dad, my wonderful papa, Mike, my brothers and of course my brave husband. Your role has never lost it importance on me, no matter what the trends in society may be.

Visitors from out West

My Dad and Sandee came for a quick visit on their way to their annual pilgrimage to Hayward WI for Sandee's family reunion. It was so fun to be with them and to have all us girls gang up on my dad. LOL! Actually, he got off pretty easy this trip.

As expected they were both adoring grandparents to Rylee and or course Gunnar.
LOL!

Thanks for the great visit!

EFY 2009

EFY (Especially For Youth) was held at Gustavus Adolphus College in Southern MN. This year the the theme was, Be Thou an Example. This is the full, five-day, overnight program which begins on Monday morning and concludes early Saturday morning. The kids have the opportunity to learn and grow together while attending classes, devotionals and firesides together. Weekly highlights include Family Home Evening, dances, a musical program, a banquet, games night, service projects, a variety show, and a testimony meeting. Both TJ and Rylee have been able to attend EFY and have always loved it.
