Thursdays are awesome!




Thursdays nights have become a favorite as we have eased into the blessing of having Erin sit for us each week.  This week was dinner and ice cream...and lots of fun conversation!

Kristin skipping school...



Today (Thursday) Kristin had a field trip in the afternoon for which I was a chaperone, and somehow she wheedled the entire day out of school.  Here was her schedule:

UW with mom to help teach the homeschool kids
Lunch at Red Robin
The Landfill (field trip) with school
Free ice cream from the nice landfill man
The "Bodies" exhibit
Tennis
A nap

What a day!

It's Pumpkin Time!



It has been an incredible fall!  The weather is beautiful...perfect for pumpkin choosing...so after church today we went in search of a pumpkin family.  Carving in the personalities will happen later on...

 Take the test...which pumpkin is which person in our family?

Another beautiful day

I love that my office is on the banks of Lake Mendota.  That way, I get to see scenes like this when I step outside!

Special days at Verona High

Senior year is always a special time, and homecoming week usually reflects that spirit.  Today was toga day, and, as you can see, Kristin and Courtney took part in supporting their school.


But it was also a very special day for Kristin, as she won the coveted Geek of the month award in her sci-fi class.  I couldn't be more proud...

Wiconsin Fall...wow...

The way...

The view!

Wedding and more...

Well, the day finally came and Kami and Dave are official.  Debbie was beautiful and terrific as a support and encourager.  Michelle and Joannie went far beyond the call of duty in their efforts to help.
