This Sunday my family and I went to the Minnesota Children’s Museum – where we were surprised with the fact that it was the 3rd Sunday of the month, which is sponsored by Target and therefore FREE to enter! Sweet – Except… very VERY busy! Ethan’s favorite place was the water tables – he loved exploring with his hands in the water and not getting in trouble for playing in the sink! Andrew learned how to float a ball across {Read More}

This past week we’ve experienced all ranges of Minnesota Winters… Monday morning our temperatures plummeted down to –14 degrees plus 40-60mph winds with wind-chill levels at –32.  Our neighborhood streets had water pipes busting open, which meant that our poor driveway was covered in ice – almost all the way up to the garage! It stayed pretty bitterly cold all week and now is warming up a bit.  However with the temperature coming just above 32 – It rained this {Read More}

This morning we woke up to a great white reflection through the house – SnoW! Last year we didn’t get too much snow, and when we did get the snow, it was too cold to really enjoy, and too heavy to shovel nicely… So when we woke up and realized that we’d have to shovel our way out of the driveway before getting to church – we got right on it.  And boy did we have fun!

Hallmark has been a great part of my boys’ life growing up – We’ve been buying and gifting the Hallmark Recordable Story Books (and asking for them from grandparents) ever since my Mother-in-Law died when Andrew was 5 months old.  I so wish we could rewind time and get a book with her voice on that book, reading a special message to her grandson. But we won’t make that mistake again! We’ve got all sorts of books!  Some read from {Read More}
