New Stuff

It's been a while since I've put anything on the blog so I'm just going to combine a couple of different happenings.
A couple weekends back there was a Christian Community Fair at the Minneapolis Convention Center and we decided to go and check it out. It was a lot of fun. There were a bunch of vendor booths from different schools and publishers and camps and other things. There were also a lot of inflatable playgrounds for Jack to play in. He was absolutely loving it!

It may be hard to tell, but that is Jack coming down the big slide.

Now that Ava is walking it is harder to keep her close by!

Jack liked meeting Bob and Larry.

They also had a little petting zoo that both Jack and Ava loved.

Another thing that's been happening recently is that we've had evangelistic meetings at our church with the Will Galkin evangelistic team. It was a great week! I was expecting great preaching and we got it, but I guess I didn't realize how good they were musically! Simply put, they were awesome! At the end of the week they put on an Irish music concert. It combined traditional Irish tunes in the first half and then Irish sacred music in the second half. Then there was a clear gospel presentation. It was great and there were a lot of visitors.




Two weekends ago we went downtown Minneapolis to go to the Macy's 8th floor display. They have a Christmas display every year. It used to change every year, but for the last 4 years or so it has been the same but we still go and enjoy it. Then we walk through the skyways and enjoy the scenery. We were able to meet up with Brent and Heidi and her nephew to have a fun time together.

Here is Jack working out in the gym at my office tower before we hit Macy's

Good form!

You can't really tell much from the picture but when we got home from downtown we found the light pole that usually is on the other side of our driveway on the ground and still shining. It had just snowed so I'm guessing someone lost control.

And finally, we just had Brent's birthday party this last weekend. It was fun getting together with family once again.

Anyone that has a birthday gets to have Jack help them blow their candles out.

And if you happen to get a toy for your birthday Jack also helps you play with it. This is a gun for a hunting game Brent got for his birthday.
