The New Bike

 
Today has been a great fall day. The weather is cooler, leaves are on the ground, and a boy and his bike are tearing through! Here is Gavin with his new bike and wearing the helmet he received as a gift from school for raising the most money in his grade level. Very exciting! The video of him receiving the prize is "priceless." The look of shock on his face says it all.

Fun in Minnesota

 
 
 
Thanks Karen for your big influence on getting us up to MN for a getaway. Definitely worth the trip and we were in love with the scenery especially around The North Shore of Lake Superior. We visited Gooseberry Falls, went in to see the sights of Canal Park in Duluth, and met up with Karen and Randy and took on Minneapolis. Whew! What a trip. The pics speak for themselves. :o)

A Big Week!

I had to let everyone know the results for the Walk for Westview. We did it! First, the school, Westview Elem., raised over $13,000! That was amazing! 100% goes to the school. What a great time. Gavin was the top fundraiser in his grade level AND THE ENTIRE SCHOOL. It was all thanks to everyone who pitched in to the cause. Wow! He won a new bike (Photos to come later) and a gift certificate to Monical's. Congrats Gavin!

On another note, Brad and I are off to Minnesota this weekend. Thanks to my mom, we will be kidless. Just taking a breather. This Nov. we celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary so we're stealing away. No, we're not going to the Poconos for those who want to take their shots. Ha!
