UPDATING!!!!

OK, so I find myself on FB more then my Blog, but I still like the idea of a blog so I thought I'd better visit and do an update.

What has been happening......Hans has gone off to school MIAD (Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design) and seems very happy. Doing art all day, how can he not be :-). We were empty nesters for about 1 1/2 hrs when we picked up our new exchange student in Green Bay on our way home from getting Hans settled in Milwaukee. Leang is from Thailand and is a sophmore and is on the JV soccer team. I'll post pictures too. Hope all is well with everyone out in Blogland.

In Sept. Steve and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary and he bought us a new camera, here he is trying it out!

I finished Bjorn's quilt It is a split rail with pinwheel courners I had a lot of puckers with this one, so it was a bit frustrating, but from a distance it looks cool.went to a Beth Moore confrence in Green Bay, and yes she came right up by us, I could have reached out and touched her....but didn't :-))Here is Hans at MIAD

Leang....we are trying to get him to be a Packer fan!!LOL

Leang playing soccer for the Clippers!!!Fall colors at the homefront.....love these.

Some of our sunflowers in the garden...before the frost came and I was trying out the new camera. The blob on this one is a bee.

Ok, so it's been awhile!

So I havn't added anything here almost all summer...not much to say except we have been busy with life and that isn't too exciting. Be to a few showers/weddings and partys. So I've put some pictures on to give you something to look at.
