Memorial Day 2008

Maddy is 1 month old already! (on the 27th)

Tyler was getting tired at the park, so we swung on the swing for awhile.

Maddy slept through the whole trip to the park. :)

The boys were excited to have us play Guitar Hero with them, which I think they just got the day before. I think they were surprised at how well I did, because I am so bad at video games in general. Maybe the musical background helps. :)

Tyler saying good-night to everyone.

We went down to Jeremy & Kim's house in Chaska for Memorial Day. We BBQ'd, walked to the park & just hung out & had a good time. Mom rode with us & Angela & Evan came down, too.

Two Years Already! :)

The first weekend in May we went up north to celebrate our 2nd anniversary. We drove up to Duluth on Saturday, May 3rd and spent Saturday & Sunday at Todd's mom & step-dad's house. We visited Todd's Grandma Vi & brought her an early Mother's Day present. Lookin' pretty good for 91, isn't she? :)

On Monday, May 5th, we drove up to the Grand Superior Lodge and spent two nights in "our" honeymoon suite. We walked on a north shore trail that used to be Hwy. 61 before they cut the tunnel thru the rock for the highway. We enjoyed the fireplace & the view and even had our own little fire on the rocks by the lake on our anniversary night. We had a great time!

Maddie Comes Home!

Baby Madison came home from the hospital this morning. J.D. & Justin were at school, but Tyler & Brenden gave her a Princess' Welcome. They sure love their new baby sister! :)

Tyler loves his baby Maddie! In fact he wouldn't go into the kitchen to eat lunch until we brought his baby in there & set her on the kitchen table. That is saying a lot because Tyler really loves food. :)

Brenden & Maddie. He is very proud of his baby sister & loves her very much!

Mass Choir at Wooddale Church

This past Saturday, our choir from North Heights Lutheran Church, joined 4 other choirs at Wooddale Church in Eden Prairie for a Mass Choir Concert. There were over 300 singers and a full orchestra. We sang 5 songs with the mass choir and our choir sang 3 songs by ourselves. The three we sang ourselves were: Beautiful Saviour with the huge pipe organ, Come, Let Us Bow Down--accapella, and Let the Veil Down with the orchestra. The concert went really well and we had a great time! :)

Nephew Andrew's 1st Lane Gathering

This weekend, Anthony, Heather & Andrew drove up from Omaha, NE and we all got together at Leonard & Denise's house. I think Andrew enjoyed his 1st Lane gathering.........especially all the attention he got. Unfortunately, Todd was sick so he still has not met our newest Lane nephew.

Tyler was very cautious about Uncle Leonard & Uncle A.
