Farmhouse circa 1920's

Today we had some very unique visitors at the farmhouse. Four siblings (in their 60's) and their families stopped by and wanted to look around. Their grandmother grew up on the farm and their great grandfather built it. We talked with them a bit and showed them around and then they showed us a box of pictures they had from the 20's and 30's of the property. Melissa was able to add to their collection a bit when she gave them a card (addressed to their relatives) we found when we were renovating. Just a really awesome meeting and got some great history too.

I figured this weekend would be a good reason to dust off the old blog and see if it still works.  If you can read this then it must be working so that's good.  I'll start off by posting the link to Jenna's photos in case you'd like to download them yourself.

And then of course a few more photos from the past week at the farmhouse:

Busy weekend

There was a lot of celebrating this weekend at our house.  Nora's dance team placed 1st in the hip hop category at a Nationals competition in Chicago. Their routines in lyrical, jazz and poms got them a 2nd place and two 3rd places. By far their best finish of the year.

Elsa and Jenna also had a gymnastics meet Sunday. Both Elsa and Jenna got their trampoline routines down nicely. It was a small meet so they didn't have any other girls to compete against in their age and level though. They both are trying hard to get ready for the state meet in a few weeks.

Because of the two events in different cities I only got pictures of Nora's jazz and lyrical dances.  So if you'd like to see the winning hip hop routine you'll have to ask Nora in person.

Picture Updates

We've got a few photos to get everyone caught up. 

There was Christmas of course...

Skiing and snowboarding at Sunburst Ski Hill...

And just today Jenna and Nora got to try rock climbing.  Elsa was out with a friend from gymnastics, but I've assured her that she'll get a chance as well.
