Mobile Uploads

Getting fitted for their first helmets.

One of the many items that was accidentally packed was our camera charger.  We have been taking pictures with our phones.  The following are pictures from Moose's phone.

Will just getting started.

Jack skating to the puck.  They have come such a long way in the past 6 weeks.

Superheroes in action!

Sydnee as Captain America.

Allison as Thor.

Moose took the kids to DQ this week.  The weather was nice enough to eat outside...in the back of the van.

This weekend Moose took the girls to the lake walk while the boys and I checked out the Duluth Children's Museum.

Watching brothers at skating lessons.

So tempting!

Life in Minnesota

We have been in Minnesota one month and so much has happened in the last 30 days.  While there have been times of absolute joy being home with Jack and Will and Sydnee and Allison, I am looking forward to my first day of subbing next week in Hermantown.  I am excited to see the school and find out what they have to offer.  Here are a few pictures from our first 30 days.

I found the kiddos like this after dinner one night.

Taking advantage of the snow mounds around the townhouse.

While Moose was away, we made a snow tunnel after receiving 8 inches of snow.  Allie helped dig the tunnel.

One of the first Sundays in Minnesota we went to the Great Lakes Aquarium.  The kids enjoyed the water station.

 

Temporary Living

We have been in Minnesota for two weeks.  The townhouse is proving to be a great temporary fit for us.  Even though...

• there is no overhead lighting in the bedrooms.  Closets have lights.  We read our bedtime story in the hallway.
• we only have a love seat and a recliner to sit on.
• our kitchen table is a folding table with folding chairs.
• we have limited kitchen items.  I heart Glad ware.
• an 18 gallon tote is our TV stand.

We are perfectly content until early April because...

• the boys start preschool on Monday at Little Lambs Preschool (my preschool was also called Little Lambs)
• substitute forms for Hermantown and Proctor were submitted
• daycare is secured for Tuesdays and Thursdays so I can sub on those days.
• oh, and we bought a house. On a lake. In Minnesota.



Pike Lake
Pending all transactions between Dawson and Pike go through, this is our new residence.

Skyping with Grandma Linda.  Checkout that clearance table cloth from Target.

Playing soccer in the townhouse.  Jack has a pretty good shot.

Allie hydrating after jumping her monster truck.

Will cuddling up on the recliner.

Jack and B.  Enough said.

Our terrible habit we have started: sitting on the counter as I prepare dinner.
