    First week of school

    September 7, 2008 - By 


    We’ve made it through the first week. The boy started 3rd grade on Tuesday and and my girl began her school journey with Kindergarten on Thursday.

    The report from the 1st day of 3rd grade was…”It was AWESOME!” Hope that view holds through the year.

    The my little one is loving being a “big kid” riding the bus and getting to make choices such as white or chocolate milk at snack time.

    Me…I’m enjoying a bit of freedom. I still have all my same responsibilities such as groceries, cooking, cleaning, etc…but can do them by myself…well, at least until lunch!

    Getting back to working out after 2 weeks of the rec center being closed is really nice too! Although I did have some sore muscles!!!

    Speaking of working out… I bought Wii Fit today! The whole family has been trying it out. It’s a lot of fun!

    Red pepper

    August 27, 2008 - By 


    My 1st red pepper is nearly ready to pick! I’m shocked that it is getting as red as the ones I see in the grocery stores. For some odd reason I thought it would only get that sort of ruddy red color.

    North Shore beauty

    August 16, 2008 - By 

    Lake Superior 8/12/08

    You just can’t get much more beautiful in my eyes even on a misty grey day such as this.

    The shore is an easy 1 mile hike from Gooseberry Falls.

    The wind was off old Gitche Gumee but it didn’t stop us from enjoying the view.

    Aren’t the huge chunks of rock that have fallen amazing!
    We hiked to this same spot 8 years ago and are pretty sure that at least one or two of these chunks hadn’t fallen yet. The ledge seemed much wider before.
