FAMILY
What's up, family! No one's been posting anything in awhile. Although I guess blogs are old snooze compared to the technology of facebook, on which our family has been communicating.
I just figured I'd put a little note up for folks.
I find that I enjoy teaching.
My class has already achieved quite a few of our learning goals. My secret goal is to get them to master Pre-K by the end of January. I think we can do it.
Baton Rouge is now officially "cold." And I think the past few months of desert heat in Arizona and swampy heat here have made me lose my Minnesota frostbite strength.
I ran a 5k last week and I'll be running another one next week. Woo. It's an interesting way to see parts of New Orleans.
Come visit me!
I'm about to write a new donorschoose grant in case you want to help my kids learn letters. It'd be SWEET.
XOXO,
Your favorite niece/daughter/cousin/second cousin once removed/sister,
76 Trombones and All That..... This week only! Teresa will be playing in the pit and I'll be on stage again for South St. Paul Community Theater's summer musical, The Music Man.
Shows are July 16, 17, and 18th at 7:00 pm, and Sunday, July 19th at 2 pm.
Good bye dear friend The burning car is Beckie's mom Renee's. It's the Honda that we drove for 4 years. Good bye old friend! I was tempted to cut a piece of charred fabric as a keepsake but decided against it. She was the best car a person could ask for...
Good luck and Happy Summer!
Summer is finally here!
Good luck to Liv in Baton Rouge, to Norris at St. Thomas, to Beckie and the baby-to-be, ...and to all a good summer! :)

Shakopee Grass Fire
I got a phone call at work today from my next door neighbor telling me that our neighborhood was on fire, and that I better get home and get our dog, just in case the fire kept spreading.
The fire was huge (you may have seen it on the news), but after fighting the fire for 3-4 hours, the firefighters finally got it under control.
It was pretty scary for a while, but we're thankful for the fire department, that they were able to keep the fire at bay.
