the eve of 16

16 years ago tonight, we went to bed knowing the next day we’d be welcoming a sweet new person to our family. To our joy and amazement, in came OJO! So excited to celebrate you tomorrow big guy. 

hope we can recreate this moment

This was our staff eight years ago…hope we can do something like this again!

goodbye peach fuzz

Today Osten had a shaving tutorial by Brad…it’s only just begun. 

Henry’s grad party

Started the day on a lovely walk with Petra and then we celebrated Henry at his graduation party. 

first ave

I went to Paper Kites with my friend Kim at First Avenue in Minneapolis. Across the street at the Target Center, my MN Timberwolves suffered a season ending loss to San Antonio. I had a lovely evening listening to great music. 

walking in the rain

Times with my dearest Julie are precious. We got a great hike in at William O’Brien and enjoyed a lovely rain sprinkle. 

picture perfect days

 

kerfluffle

It was twin day at school and most of our staff dressed like our school counselor who is retiring this year. Evidently she says the word Kerfluffle quite a bit. I’m loving my new shirt! First photo of my assistant teacher Teri and I and second picture with Karen and Stacy. 

Mother’s Day part 2

It’s complete! I got to see my sweet Beata today. Osten had a track meet in Hudson and we finished planting and getting the doors on the little shed. 

happy Mother’s Day!

What a wonderful day! Osten chauffeured Brad and I to and from Grantsburg where we had lunch at the drive in with Betty and Bud. We wished happy Mother’s Day to Betty. Then we got home and Anders and Ally surprised us with a visit. We went to Starbucks for a treat. Lastly the Timberwolves won game 4 of the western conference semi finals so the series is tied 2-2.
