Halloween Fun

Pirate Addi had a penguin friend over for Halloween and they got the loot!


Polar Bear Adyn (thanks Nana!) really caught on to the whole trick or treating thing this year and had a blast running to the houses to see what treasures he could get.
There were others out and about, like our good friends the Hoornaerts, er I mean the Incredibles!

Mom's Pro Picts

Mom was just messin' around with her photography class's new studio lighting and shot a few pics of the kids. As you can see, some of the family is more photogenic than others.

Happy Birthday!

Addi had some friends over for a slumber party to celebrate her 10th birthday. They went to the Homecoming football game and spent the night watching movies and eating snacks and cake. Hard to believe our baby is a decade old already! We love you, Addi!

Addi runs the Hillsboro 5k

Addi and her friend Riley raced the beautiful fall morning away and had a great time in her 2nd ever 5k. She walked the first 5k with her Mom this spring at the Fargo Marathon, since Mom had a bad leg at the time and has been waiting ever since to get the chance to actually RUN!!! Way to go Addi, you did great!

1st Day of Preschool

Adyn sure has been happy waking up lately. He likes going to preschool, but they don't have as many tractors as Nancy his daycare lady has so he drew a picture of a combine to pass the time.

It says John Deere Combine and it has a corn header on it.

Katja & Addi

Addi had a friend over to Nana's and boy did they have fun dressing up and running around the ranch.

First Day of School!

Addi has had her clothes for the first week of school laid out for over a week now. I hope that enthusiasm never dies! (thanks for the backpack Nana!!)

Adyn was a little jealous since he doesn't start preschool until next Tuesday, but he still had a good time watching his big sis get on the bus to school.


Mrs. Down's 4th grade classroom sure looks like it is going to be fun!
I can't believe Addi is going to be 10!!! Time sure flies.
