New family member

I know we added a new member to our family last week, welcome Susan, but today Amy brought us a picture of the newest member, yet unnamed. I like Boofus.

Adam and Susan's Wedding

What a nice weekend, the weather was perfect, the plans were made, plus Adam and Susan were ready. We had the rehearsal on Friday at St Benedicts Church, afterward we went to Happy Joe's for the meal. There were at least 60 people there. It was a marvelous evening for everyone. On Saturday we only waited to hear if anyone needed us to do some last minute detail. There were no requests. Pictures began at 11:00 and went on till 1:00. Pictures of the rehearsal, wedding and reception are in the family pictures link to the right. Susan's uncle Greg Grant took the photos and we are so impressed with the difficult job that he did so well.
Darlene Frana did a great job keeping everything moving and organized. The wedding went off without a hitch except for Mark tripping over Susan's train, I have heard of people nearly being killed by a train but I never thought I would see it. Mark is fine and is a trooper to so selflessly trying to entertain all gathered, thanks Mark. The wedding party left in a packed motor home to tour the watering holes of Decorah. The reception was at Knobhill, north of Decorah. They served a good ham dinner and a fun dance. It was a lively dance with no real calamities.
I wish to thank family and friends for making a tremendous evening for Adam and Susan Peterson. To see or order pictures of their wedding, click on the link to the right that says Adam and Susan's Wedding, you can get 1 hour printing of pictures at Walmart and pick them up.

Laura Ingalls Wilder Days at Burr Oak

We had an exciting day at Burr Oak. Amy is on the Laura Days Commitee, so we went there with Jared. It was a nice day and we had fun. Here are some pictures of Jared in a 3 legged race and Kory (Amy's new Husband) and Jared, when they won the balloon toss. There is a nice photo of Amy and others on the Laura Days Committee. It was hot, it was cool, it rained, the weather changed constantly all day long.

Flood in Decorah

We are having fun in Decorah. There is flooding all over town. Here are some pictures of the bridge by Dave and Marie's and Kayla with the water at the "Cut" and the small creek near our house. The dikes are holding so far.

Trout fishing

Kayla went trout fishing in school this week and caught a trout so we went fishing today but we only got wet shoes.

Amy's garden

Amy is not a girl with high expectations. She wanted a garden for her birthday so we made her a Square foot garden for her birthday. She is happy and is looking forward to fresh lettuce and cherry tomatoes.

Easter 2008

Easter came and went, but it will be memorable since it was too cold to do the annual Easter egg hunt which everyone enjoys. It was a raw cold day but spring will come eventually.

Christmas 2007
