Summer Adventures

Well, it has been a busy summer for all of us. Madeline and Isaac have been making the most of the summer. Now that fall has set in, Lisa has a new job teaching theology at the Academy of Holy Angels and Maddie has started preschool at Highpointe. It has been a positive change all around, but we have learned to appreciate our time together now that it is a little more scarce. Here are some photos from our recent endeavors.

As a reward for getting rid of certain bad habits, Maddie got to go to the fair, which in this case was the Mall of America. She is pretty fearless as far as rides are concerned.

Now we're at the Anoka County Fair, outside the cow barn.

Our little princess.

In early August, we went back to Paradise Resort for a week up north in lake country. We were blessed with good weather, and Eric's parents came up for the latter part of the week to help out and enjoy some time away.

Isaac enjoys some time in the lake.
