HELLO to all our friends and family in Minnesota(Bemidji,Melrose,Duluth and Minneapolis), NorthDakota (Larimore Fargo and Bismarck), Kansas(Overland Park), Nebraska(Omaha) and New Mexico!!!!!!!! I hope I did not forget anybody..sorry if I did. I will keep picures coming as I can! Love to all of you! The radio announced 55+ inches of snow so far- very stormy and snowing much of the day. We ate at the new Olive Garden tonight and was able to sit by the fireplace, drink wine and enjoy each other's company- life is great while eating italian....

Here are some newer pictures from Ian's birthday party swimming, Christmas, etc.

Welcome to our new family blog!!!! Agood friend of mine is teaching me this (thanks Tammi!!) and it will give me a chance updating family and friends in a new way ----
First we have had blizzards, below freezing temps and snow continues. They say we have had 46+ inches of snow so far...
Doug is , needless to say, tired of the snow and has had to unfreeze the snowblower at least twice. Once needed to be done in the house~! He is always busy at the funeral home.
I am busy with work at the hospital and the boys sure keep me busy!
Ian is now 10 years old. He is somewhat more shy than Ryan, is a very good student and is competitive. He started playing the guitar this fall and now is starting the recorder.
Ryan is now 6 years old. His first grade teacher laughs while telling us that Ryan treats life as a "party". He is very outgoing, natural born leader and we should of named him Dennis for Sennis the Menace. In a minute the two boys can be best friends and the next they are enemies. They both are starting wresting in February. Hope you enjoy the pictures and more to come soon!
