As of late.


Just thought I would do a quick update about what we have been up to lately.  Above, for Zach's birthday, we went to Lindy's Steakhouse and got dinner (conveniently located down the street from our new home on Bethel campus.  He thoroughly enjoyed his dinner!

                                              Here we are on his birthday also! The big 2-6!



This captures the essence of me being a food preserving maniac this year-- I canned salsa with my friend Hannah, as shown here.... and also have canned tomatoes, froze Broccoli, Zucchini, and Kale, and will also be freezing and canning more before the end of the season! What fun!



It was another wonderful labor day weekend at my family's cabin with friends. This year, we had quite a smaller crew,  but we still enjoyed our time there. A little chilly this year, but it didn't stop us from being outside for fires, playing bocce ball, and bean bag toss, riding the 4 wheeler, and playing LOTS of games as always. Nash enjoyed playing the keyboard too!




At the end of the summer, we had the chance to go stay at a cabin with Zach's family at Itasca State Park. It was fun to spend time with them, and also look at all of the beautiful scenery at Itasca. 





Last weekend we went to an apple orchard with our friends Hannah and Steffen. The place we went to wasn't as cool as they made themselves seem, but we still had fun anyway and got some apples out of the deal too. It was a beautiful day to spend with friends, so it made it all worth it!





Our favorite babies! The triplets are getting bigger and more fun ( one is crawling now!) We still also love to see Nash when we can. Isn't he handsome?




A couple weekends ago, Zach suprised me with a stay at a Bed and Breakfast in Hastings-- the Classic Rosewood Inn for our Anniversary! Our stay included a couples massage ( oh yes!) and we also visited a Vineyard there, and went to a car show. The leaves were already turning beautiful colors.




Now Zach has officially started school (as of Monday). I have two births that I am attending very soon. We are trying not to get too busy, and spend more time at home. We are still settling into our new place and looking for more furniture for our living room. We would LOVE visitors, so please give us a call and come on over : )
