Mr. Grumpy over there is going to ruin our reputation

of being the bluebird of happiness!

I had so much fun taking photos of a group of bluebirds that visited our birdbath this fall. Hope they come back next year.

The very purpose of Christ's coming into the world was that He might offer up His life as a sacrifice for the sins of men. He came to die. This is the heart of Christmas. ~~Rev. Billy Graham

Toby started “playing” piano after Troy began teaching himself piano. Copycat!

Braces for Kent and Troy this year, along with lots of growing!

In August, we enjoyed a trip to San Francisco, CA, with Rolf’s mom (from Atlanta). So

disappointed that cousin Kelsey, also from Atlanta, wasn’t able to join us that week as

planned, due to sickness.

Greetings! Here to share some photos with you. We continue in the

homeschooling journey. Rolf is still enjoying his job at 3M, while keeping his eyes open for new opportunities,

possibly in a new department.

Merry CHRISTmas and many blessings to you — Sara, Rolf, Ryan, Kent, Troy

Troy greatly enjoyed his first year of traveling baseball while Ryan had a successful year playing on Chisago Lakes High School Jr. Varsity and

VFW teams. Ryan played a lot of 3rd base this year, a change from his usual

outfield positions.

Ryan had the great pleasure of joining cousin Nolan’s youth group on a trip to CO in June.

What a great time he had!
