The "Music Man!"

This past weekend we went to watch Katie in the musical "Music Man" at Mayville State University. The four performances were the payoff for 2 months of 2-4 hour long daily practices! Katie played a gossipy town lady and it was so fun to see her on stage! Thank you, Katie for all your hard work that brought so much enjoyment to everyone that came to watch you.



We just loved this costume and frilly hat! Reminds me of some
little girls that used to play dress-up...

Katie's friend Rachel (in blue) was in the musical with her.

The End

Amy, EMT

Amy is now a full-fledged Basic EMT, after passing both her practicals and her written test. She began taking the course in July this summer and completed the class in September. They covered an enormous amount of information in that time, and Amy spent hours & days studying! She has already been on a number of calls, including two solo runs. She really seems to have an aptitude for and a great interest in the medical field, and we are very proud of her achievements!

Halloween!

Halloween...it must be a kid's favorite holiday! Costumes, candy, sugary snacks--what an unbeatable combination! Halloween was extra fun at our house this year because of seeing how much the boys enjoyed it. This is their second Halloween here, but last year Jonathan didn't think much of it!
