Handy Manny x 3 and the finished product.  I only got hit with the hammer once. IKEA should also add construction education to their list of contributions to the world!

Yesterday Jakin got stung in the face by a hornet. This morning he woke up looking like this! So, do you think he's allergic? Do you think it's an improvement? Do you think he enjoys the attention? (I do know the answer to the last question.)

"Pilot to Co-Pilot..." Flying to Ponca City, OK for dinner. Thanks Stuart and Juliet!!

First day of school for all three boys. Eli is so excited to be starting kindergarten we couldn't keep up with him on the walk out to the bus. I went to the Boo-hoo breakfast for parents and surprisingly there was no crying.  I'm excited to hear how their day was!! I'm also starting school today. I'm doing online classes to finish my Bachelors. Time to get to it!

Priceless

Minnesota is incredibly beautiful. God this is a masterpiece. Thank you!
