Impossible alliance

How this tree ever gained enough nourishment from this rock I'll never know, but it sure looks cool now!

Sunday fun

Frank, Ben, Marley and I took a drive after church today and enjoyed the sights (and tastes!) of Paoli.

Weird weeding

I am becoming aware that our dog is either very helpful or a copycat. Today while I was doing a little weeding Marley decided to join in.

On the trail with Marley

After a brief setback because our wild dog cut her leg on a fence, she is back and trail ready again...oh the energy!

Gourmet in our backyard!

Check out the morel mushrooms growing in our yard! Yum!

More Easter weekend fun!

Frank and I enjoyed a great hike this morning and then we all did some exploring in Stillwater. Another great day!

St Croix Falls and Osceola

We spent a great afternoon exploring St Croix Falls and Osceola. What a great day!

Morning hiking

Bobbie, Becky and I started today off with a couple of hikes...amazing!

The actual birthday

After a little hike this morning I picked up Kristin and we made our way north to meet Bobbie and Becky. After a pizza lunch with Mike we hit the road where we stopped to see some beautiful scenery, a pottery shop, Fawn-Doe-Rosa (no kidding!) and ended with birthday dinner!

Party memories

Kristin's surprise night was terrific! The cake party, fun in the park and dinner! Happy birthday to our wonderful Kristin!

Surprised Kristin!

Tomorrow is Kristin's birthday but because it is so close to Easter this year, her college friends and I conspired to surprise her on the day BEFORE her birthday!  We had cake, balloons and presents, all thanks to the help of her sneaky, wonderful friends and family who love her!

Ben is 22!

This is a bit late since his birthday was on Saturday...but Ben is 22!  An amazing miracle for a kids who wasn't supposed to live for more than a few days!  Thanks for all of those who celebrate with us!
