Softball

Happy 5/05/05! Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Last night, Matt's church softball team played the Gopher Bar, and Matt won 13 to 6!! His mostly over-40 team beat the 20-something team! Yay! :)

sorry

I dont have any prom pictures yet. Once I get them I will be sure to post them so hold your horses everyone.

Happy Birthday Teresa!

Here's to a happy birthday - sorry i didn't post before!

OK, I'll show you it's done, Stevie...

Liv and Andy before Como's prom (Andy's father had run back home for the flowers which they'd forgotten.)



And what a difference a few days make...

Photographic evidence

Thanks for the nice picture of Stevie playing tennis, Peter. We really want to see a picture of him with his prom date, though, so someone (Stevie?) please share. We will post a picture of Como's fabulous Grand March after next weekend.

I went to watch Steve play tennis at a tournament in Eden Prairie today. I took a few shots of him while he played, here is one of the better ones. Look at the concentration on his face!

To see more photos that I took today click here

I went biking tonight near our house.. It was a beautiful spring day near Shakopee, on the Minnesota River.

JCC

Hey! I got a job as an intern at the Summer Musical Theatre Institute that's at the Sabes JCC in St. Louis Park. Woo-hoo!

Changing more than pants?

Mr. Editor: I believe you mean "Norris and Stevie," not "Tom and Stevie."

The Swedish Birthday Song

By popular demand here again is a link to the...
Swedish Birthday Song lyrics and tune!
From Paul:
It is generally referred to as Ja, Må Han Leva! (Yes, May He Live!) Although the subject may also be she or they.

A couple of pronunciation tips. Pronounce 'r' in the front of your mouth. (Not the guttural American way.)

Uti (oot-ee) is one word and so is hundrade (hune drah-dee).

Ungame

Tom and Stevie after switching pants.. why? because they had to - the Ungame said so..:)

EDIT: oops.. it was brought to my attention that this picture was NORRIS and Stevie. That's what I get for blogging so late at night. sorry Norris..

Happy Easter! Han är uppstånden!!

Hope everyone has a happy and blessed Easter!!

Hi from D.C.

Greetings from our nation's capital. I'm attending the National Immunization Conference and my mommy and daddy are running around town getting into trouble. They greatly enjoyed visiting the Basilica (largest Catholic church in the U.S.) and the just-opened "Faces of the Fallen" at Arlington Cemetery--a rendering of all the faces of men and women who have died in Iraq (by different artists).

Tomorrow our boss is giving a plenary talk (to the big group of about 1,500) and I'm giving a workshop presentation (to about 50-100 people). Then, off to the airport to race home for the Holy Thursday service!

I'll see most of you on Easter. John and Lynda, I'll see you in Decatur in a week... I think I saw some monkey grass today.

oops! a late invitation

Oops! We are so slow inviting you all to the youth dinner at our church that Joel’s bus driver had to do it!! Don G. drives a university bus and Joel often rides on his bus. We’ve just learned that Don mentioned it before you heard it from us.
Stevie’s youth group (Tom and Beckie are both youth leaders) is having a Mystery
Dinner on Saturday night at 6:00. It is a fundraiser for the summer youth mission trip to New York City. The mystery takes place in the 1930's so you can dress in that fashion for the fun of it, but it’s not required.
The price is $8. per ticket. Call Tom or Nancy to make a reservation by Friday.
We hope y'all can come!
