Fargo Force Hockey Game

A few weeks ago we were able to enjoy a Fargo Force hockey game with my sister, Jenn, a few of our friends and their children!  Emma loves hockey and hanging out with her buddies, so the evening game was a success!

Baking Cupcakes

Emma loves to bake!  She baked birthday cupcakes with Auntie Jenn Sluke the day before her big 2nd birthday party in Moorhead!

Master's Graduation!

December 16, 2010: This was a wonderful day for our family! After 4 long semesters of graduate classes, I graduated with my Master's in Currculum and Instruction emphasizing in teaching English Language Learners.  It will be nice for our family to be able to relax in the evenings without the stress of thesis writing and phone conferencing.  It will also be nice to be able to make plans at the drop of a hat to visit our friends and family!  We will very much enjoy being free to homework in our home--for a few years anyway!

Wild Hair Day

Emma was able to spend a day with Auntie Jenn Sluke over Christmas break when she stayed with us for a few days in Moorhead while I was still teaching before break.  With this cold and dry weather, Emma's hair goes wild--especially when it doesn't get combed. 

Alot has happened in the last 4 months...

 Alot has happened in and around out home in the past 4 months.  Here are a few pictures to show some of the exciting moments we have been through! May you be blessed this holiday season and into 2011!
