Madeline's 1st Day of School!

We got all the pictures covered on this very special day! Madeline was so excited to ride the school bus. It's official, she is a BIG KID now!

Foster Lake

One of our last summer outings was to Foster Lake for a day of sun and water play. The girls built a little cove out of a whole bunch of rocks (with a little help from Mom and Dad, of course!)

Trip to Minnesota - September 20th

I was back in Richfield for my 20th Class Reunion (ack!) and made a visit to the site of our old house in Richfield. It's gone now and they put in a Home Depot and a Super Target. Here you can see the old elm tree that was in our front yard (on the left) and I've put an "X" where we think the front steps would have been. Kinda weird! At least we can still visit our old tree and sit in the parking lot where our living room used to be!

I also was able to visit Rich, Erin and the kids. I managed to get a photo with Sarah. I wish I got to see them more! They've all grown up so much...

A Day at the Petting Zoo!

From L to R: Hunter, Ella, Madeline, Audrey and Thomas

The girls and I went to a little petting zoo on Saturday with my friends Megan (Hunter's Mom) and Anna (Audrey and Thomas' Mom). Madeline was SO excited to see her best friend, Audrey. When 1st grade started this year they were separated since they go to different schools. We had a great day!
