‘Twas the week before Christmas a year ago
The gift of a lifetime
on us bestowed
Our baby girl, came
home to stay,
A family complete for
Christmas Day
The new year brought
Grandparents, Snow and play
Minnesota Winters are
a bit drawn out by the way~
So when the snow
lasted a little too long,
Heidi’s brothers went
to Grand Canyon;
and took her along
12 days on the river,
with Brandon and Bret
Hikes, artifacts,
& rapids we all got wet.
After 5 years as
president of Relief Society
Heidi partially
managed to maintain sobriety.
But seriously, service
is a blessing we’re grateful to give,
I enjoyed the years,
the memories will live~
School got out at the
end of May
About the time that
Winter finally gave way.
Eric, Elias, Lalo and
friends
Enjoyed Boundary
Waters; Nature without end
Too much fun in the
the great outdoors
Boat wrecks, fishing,
and board game scores
Next: Bryce
Canyon a Castle reunion
Spires, Hoo Doos,
night hikes; family fusion
Nature is fun but can
be danger~
Thank goodness Elias
is a Jr Ranger.
Jr. Ranger is right at
6 parks by the way!
Mississippi,
Yellowstone, Bryce, Custer,
Itasca & Timp Cave
Idaho brought hiking,
playing in the creek
Fun on the farm,
baby chicks peep, peep!
Lots of camping in
Minnesota this summer
Our new-to-us sheep
camp provided comfort and cover
Delightful family time
at Winnipeg Folk Fest
Indigo girls, Josh
Ritter, Avett Bros, at their best
Elizabeth’s a dancer
we discovered quick
Elias and Ruby liked
the crafts, creeks and sticks
Back to school for
Elias, 2nd grade is sublime
At home Ruby plays
Hide and Seek for hours at a time
Eric does research,
teaches, travels
He is our rock so we
don’t come unraveled
St. Paul is home to
Elizabeth’s temple
A forever family,
transcendental
I enjoy teaching yoga
and aim to be mindful.
Life keeps me
grounded; I proceed with survival.
Ruby and Mom on
an Amish road trip
Kentucky, Tennessee,
Georgia- buggy whip!
Wishing you
Peace,Light & Joy in 2014
Eric,Heidi, Elias, Elizabeth, &
Ruby-Catherine
