What happens when you leave Daddy at home with the kids during the summer.....


....lots of fun!

The slide wasn't steep or dangerous enough as it was.... oh, no.....we had to add an 18 inch platform on top of the 4 foot tall fort and turn it into a waterslide!

It was awesome.

Good job, Ben!

Proud Wife

So, I've been annoyed with the fact that Ben is spending so much time at work and at his one-weekend-a-month Master's program classes. I am simultaneously incredibly proud of how hard he is working to support our family. And now, I can be proud that he's a great biker, web page developer, and video editor.

"My Father's Joy"

I really, really wanted to get a newborn picture of Abby, so we took her in to Chad Mahlum
when she was 1 month old. I wanted a picture of just her, and he suggested having one of us wear a black shirt to hold her but fade into the background. Since my black shirts all had spit up on them, Ben got the honor. He got peed, pooped, and spit up on during the shoot, but he also got this great picture. And it is especially significant to me because of the meaning of her name--my father's joy.
