"If you spend the majority of your days in the company of babies, toddlers, tweens or teens, then your happiness will be directly proportional to your ability to laugh often and enjoy the chaos. The child-rearing years, in particular, are meant to be hectic, playful, and fun!"

An Apple a Day...



Braeden finds two choice apples at an apple farm north of Rochester this fall '06. Our family met Gammy and Grandpa Meier and Auntie Chrissy at the orchard. The corn maze was a hit and a few times we didn't know if we'd ever get out! There was also a hay wagon ride to get us to the trees. Braeden found the best apples on the tops of the trees, he reached them by climbing the grandpa ladder.

Aim High! Air Force


Brad, Braeden & Preston check out a fighter jet courtesy of the Air Force at the Steele County Free Fair. The boys especially enjoyed the flight games on hand, but were disappointed to find out you needed to be 18 to join the force.
