I’ve been taking pictures of my kids on Sunday mornings when they’re all dressed up for church.  Here are the latest Sunday pictures:IMG_7905

I put my kids into their Halloween costumes from last year to see if they still fit.  They do!IMG_7925

We also had company this week.  Steve met Jay when they were hired at Colgan almost eight years ago.  They were roommates, study partners, sim partners and instant best friends.  He and his wife, Junko, are so sweet.  Jay was in Minneapolis for work and stayed the night with us.IMG_8045

I have the best family!  And we are so blessed to have great friends!

Our House

We’ve moved in!  It has taken a while, but we have finally unpacked and decorated and settled into our new house.  In fact, this weekend we decorated for Fall and for Steve’s birthday month, which begins today!  (Happy Birthday Month, Babe!)

Welcome!160

No one ever uses the front door except to check the mail.  Here’s the door that everyone uses, complete with a doorbell.153
