Home and Happy

We had a terrific weekend--very busy, but filled with fun and friends! We couldn't have had a better day for Graduation.

Here are just a few pictures to hold you over until I get a real post going, I've got a very busy day today (Dr. check-up, preparations for our vacation--leaving Saturday, iep prep for a friend, groceries, and I have to buy a new car).

The VERY cool cum laude graduate:


The Nan from the Norse!


Hannah and I were so happy to get the chance to meet Monica and Adam from mi2boys! Adam and Hannah had fun in the hotel pool while Monica and I were able to chat. There wasn't enough time together (of course, Hannah and Adam would have lived in the pool the entire day if they had the chance...)!!

And, I see I uploaded the wrong baseball video in the previous post...now I've fixed it so you could actually see a little baseball!  Because I'm nice like that.

Goodbye St. Olaf, Hello World!




We're off to Minnesota today for Kate's graduation!   We're so very proud of her!  She has accomplished so much, graduating in just three years!   

She will be receiving her Bachelor's degree in history.   She is very interested in Russian history (way to go Boris!) as well as ancient history.  She has an interest in Arabic as well.   So her upcoming placement in the Peace Corps will be a terrific next step in exploring the world!    She is anticipating an invitation to work with special needs children in Jordan in the fall.   What an adventure!!   

You can leave her a congratulatory message on her blog
 (also, if you scroll down the page you can see a video of her harp concert in April).

We are looking forward to a very busy weekend in Northfield...concerts, dinners, meeting friends--old and new, GRADUATION, packing up the dorm room, etc.   Besides seeing Kate (#1!!!), Hannah's priorities are a pit-stop at the American Girl store in the Mall of America, and playing Farmboy's electric guitar (Kate's boyfriend).  It will all be great!
