Traveling Fun

Last night we got to travel around the neighborhood as we enjoyed a progressive dinner with a few other families from the "block". It was such a neat time of getting to know each other and to enjoy a lot of laughs. We initially planned the dinner to last until 10:00, ending with desserts at our house, but much to our amazement and delight it was almost eleven before we even made it here. We all decided since we were having such a great time that this would now become an annual event. (Or possibly even a semi-annual event!)

We would encourage you today to take sometime to stop and say hi to your neighbor. You just never know when they might become great friends.

Thanks for such a great time everyone! We look forward to our next get together.

2007 Rewind: Sarah and Matt's Wedding

Sarah and Matt were married on very beautiful fall day. September 29th was so full of love and laughter as we helped them celebrate their love. It was so great to see some of our family members that we haven't seen in a few years. Everyone has grow and changed and yet it felt like it was just yesterday we were all together last.

Sarah and Matt, you two are such a blessing to each other. Through all the laughter and tears to come hang on tight to each other. God will bless you with his strength when you need it and His joy to fill your days.

Beautiful Mystery

There is something magical about the mystery of a lake covered in fog to get the romantic in me stirring. It was such a beautiful morning on Sunday even though the temperature in Duluth was still somewhere below zero. We sat by the windows in the hotel and just watched as the fog rolled in and out of the bay. It was a little slice of heaven.

Peter and Rebecca's Wedding

Yesterday was Peter and Rebecca's wedding in Duluth. It was a day filled with lots of laughter and tears of joy. This was the second wedding in the Krause family this year and it was great to see everyone again. I will try and get a small video up from Sarah and Matt's wedding soon.

Peter and Becca, we wish you the best as you enter into this new chapter in life. It is very apparent that the two of you were made for each other. May God's blessing be upon your days as you live out the quiet reflections of your hearts. Congratulations!

2007 Rewind: Getting Wet

Here is a video of some of the fun the Allex cousins had this summer on the lake at Mom and Dad's. Between knee boarding and tubing they definitely stayed wet a lot of the summer.

2007 Rewind

Over the month of December we will be posting pictures and videos of the events from this past year. Check back often and see what happened this past year along with current happenings in our daily journeys. Blessings to you all...

First Snow

Today we received our first major snow fall of the year. Sean was the first one out the door to go sledding and snowboarding in the afternoon.



Autumn on the other hand decided that it would be better to be inside. This is the face I was greeted with as I open the door.



You can really tell we have grown up in the midwest because the minute it starts snowing someone in the house starts singing "IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS...EVERY WHERE WE GO..."

Ah yes, it is that time of year again. Stay warm and well.
