an update... finally

We've been having so much fun that we've been too tired to blog.  Or is it that we just haven't loaded any photos on to the computer for a while? Or maybe we just forgot...
Here are a few photos of the last month -
Our beautiful ballerinas.  Hannah and Megan danced a beautiful praise routine to the Kutless song, "What Faith Can Do".  No other girls in their class this year, so they had precious time together as sisters and learned to work together and cooperate in new ways.

 Baby Hans catching a little snooze in the early morning light.  He is getting so big - rolling over, giggling and interacting with the craziness around him.  He can sleep through anything (including sirens, piano pounding and loud singing).  He's settled in to a great routine of eat, play, sleep, repeat.  
 Hannah learned to milk a goat at the Lemke farm last week.  We even made fresh goat cheese.
 Della and Henry hanging out with the baby goats.
While we were at the farm Matt was busy catching big fish in Canada.  We've been eating delicious lake trout and walleye.
