Crazy Cat


These two crazy animals...they love to snooze together almost every evening. This was just a cute shot of Sam, smiling it seems, for the camera. And then another evening he climbed into this faucet box, and decided it was a comfy spot for a nap. Oh brother! But pretty cute, sammy!

Siding the House!



Here is the latest project Joe has been faithfully tackling on our house...siding! We had a few good friends and family help us get started, and lately Joe has been working on the project whenever he has a few spare hours (which is not often!) It has saved us a ton of money by doing the project ourselves, however it did cost us one minor trip to the ER :) Joe accidentally cut his hand while cutting a piece of siding one night, but one small steri-strip later, we were good to go! The house is looking so much better already...it is amazing! We are very thankful to be able to do this!

hair ties and bella bands...

Here I am, about 21 weeks prego!!! This was about a month ago, so today I am currently 25 weeks, unbelievable!! This baby is so active, kicking throughout the day, which is an amazing (yet sometimes uncomfortable!) feeling :) I have been feeling so great, trying to keep as active as I can and eating healthy. I haven't had any wierd cravings yet, so lets hope it stays that way, haha! We are working on the nursery and our registry for all of the baby items we will need! Exciting yet overwhelming at the same time! Lets just say, its only month 6, but I am ready to meet this little babe!

More BWCA pictures


boundary waters!!!





Here are a few pics from the family adventure we took this summer to BWCA. We spent about 10 days together, driving, packing, paddling, fishing and at times, relaxing. ;) What a beautiful place, the lakes of Minnesota. Joe and I have both been there before, when we were in high school, and the beauty has not changed. We were able to see wildlife (loons, beaver, bald eagles, mink, deer) and hear some too (wolves!) It was a great time, although we all agreed that it wasn't quite a vacation, but rather, a canoe trip!!!
