PRICELESS!!

Music to our ears...

Lauren and Jillian had their first piano recital yesterday.  They each did a wonderful job and we are so proud of them!  They have put many hours into practice and lessons and it is fun to see and hear how they have been developing and progessing. 

A lot changes in 11 years....

We have enjoyed spending the weekend with our good friends the Carter's.  Tamra and I went to Augustana and completed our nursing degrees together.  Since then, we have both got married, moved several times and had children.  Our friendship has remained strong through the years.  Tamra and her family now live in Broomfield CO.   The kids have been having a great time wrestling, playing outside and even making lefse!

Happy St Patrick's Day

The kids have enjoyed learning about Leprechauns today.  I must say I knew nothing about them nor do I care to- but sometimes it amazes me how I can go through my whole life having known nothing about these made up  little creatures.  I guess there is a little truth to the saying "everything you need to know you learned in Kindergarten"  Apparently, I was not in class the day we learned about Leprechauns.  :)

   Did you know ( according to Jillian and Madelyn)

Leprechauns are tiny

Leprechauns live on rainbows

Lephrechauns are tricky and sneaky

Leprechauns have red beards

Leprechauns can escape from very small spaces

Leprechauns do not leave gold for people that are not wearing green

Leprechauns are very rarely seen

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!!
