party at the lake

Memorial weekend started off well with celebrating Osten’s 16th with the Olson family. 

block party

Our lovely friend Henri invited Brad and I to his block party. What a lovely gathering. 

happy 16th birthday Osten John

Wishing you all things good in this world dear Osten! Happy birthday. 

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!

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
