40 years: Part One

Ashly, Christopher and I met my family in Fargo last weekend for a wonderful celebration of Mom and Dad's 40th Anniversary. We stayed at the Holiday Inn and had a great time eating pizza and cake, swimming and good conversation. We also got to meet Ryland, my new nephew!!! He is so precious!

Swingset: Part three

Here's the slide!



Christopher had so much fun watching Chadd use the drill.



















Drilling just like daddy. He had a blast! He is 100% all boy!
















Intently watching and trying to figure this whole tool thing out!









Here's the car swing!












The swingset is a hit! It's awesome. GREAT JOB, CHADD!!! All that is left is to build steps up to the slide and a rock wall. Then we have to stain the wood and anchor it.
