Mother/Daughter Princess Tea Party

I know what you are thinking, I don't have daughters. So... I borrowed a couple of my nieces to bring to this event and we had a lot of fun. We made crafts, decorated cookies and of course drank tea.

food packing


Isaac and I helped pack food with the Feed My Starving Children organization when they came to town. It was a bit tiring, but a lot of fun!

Legos

I have been taking Isaac up to the Lego store at the Mall of America every so often for their Lego Club classes. He has had a lot of fun with them. One of the times we were up there several months ago we were able to help build a mural made of of little 1x1 Lego pieces for their new store. In January, we were able to see the finished mural.

Christmas

I did not forget about Christmas... we had many wonderful celebrations with family and enjoyed a bit of a break from our regular routine.

Happy Halloween!

Isaac on Halloween (from the front)

When asked what he was going to be for Halloween Isaac responded "death". He got many strange looks. Then with a little prompting he would tell them that he was going to be the Grim Reaper. Followed by more strange looks. :)

He was really excited for Halloween this year and is very sad that it is over. He couldn't understand why I didn't want to decorate our yard full of gruesome things.

Fun with cousins Kathryn and Kaylah at the pumpkin patch.

5th grade

Here it is almost the end of the first quarter of school and I am just posting pictures from the first day...

Isaac has a great teacher this year and has been enjoying school. He has a lot more homework this year with some big projects to work on. He really likes being in class with his best and first friend Aidan.

In honor and memory of Father's Day

Father's Day is not an easy day for me... I want my Dad to be with me on Father's Day, not just in my memories.

Celebrating Dad's birthday in 1979.

A family picture in front of our house in 1980.

He was a great Papa.

Another Grandpa missed this year (along with many others) was Grandpa Jim who recently passed away in March.


On to the celebrating...
Dan is a wonderful Dad.
