Cool Dudes

Is that possible wearing pink shirts?

Go, Faith!

As part of her therapy to use her right hand more, Faith attended a 3 week summer camp that encouraged the use of her left hand. This was accomplished by casting her left hand, the hand she uses the most. They did all sorts of "hands on" activities and Faith made huge strides! Yay Faith! We are so proud of you!

Happy Birthday, Grant!

For Grant's Birthday, we went sans Drew to Tre Kroner, a Scandinavian BYOB restaurant near our house. We had a delicious meal and then moved on to the driving range to hit some balls. Grant has been trying get me to go golfing with him for so long now, but honestly, it's not really my cup of tea. But, since it was his birthday, I thought I'd surprise him. Although, I have to say I was the surprised one! As we were waiting for a spot, I spotted a familiar face...a former student from my first class! Now, he's headed off to college in the fall. It was fun to see him in the "working world" and working for me! The other interesting thing about the night is that Christine, another former student, was babysitting for Drew while we were out. Apparently, another former student works at the restaurant we ate at, but she was there earlier in the day, so we just missed her. It's a weird feeling knowing that the "adults" I saw that night were once little children with loose teeth just a few years ago (well maybe more than a few...). Happy birthday, Grant! I love you!

A Surprise Shower for David and Amy

Here's just a few pictures from the surprise shower for David and Amy.

David and Amy Visit!

We were so blessed to have my brother, David, and his wife, Amy, visit! This is the first time we have seen Amy since she discovered she was pregnant. Drew's new baby boy cousin will be arriving in mid-November and we are all so excited! During their visit, we had lots of quality family time, including a surprise baby shower! We love and miss you guys!

Minocqua 2008

Every year we go with Grant's family to Minocqua, WI for a week at the family cabin. We had so much fun spending time down by the water, going for rides in the boat, and just being together.
