Backyard BBQ

This weekend we hosted the end-of-the-year BBQ at our house for our 20's / 30's group at church. We had a blast grilling, playing bocce ball, & chattin' it up by the fire. I love Minnesota late spring evenings. They are so comfortable .. and the bugs haven't quite hit yet!

Visiting Gramma

Last weekend we went down to Pipestone, MN to visit my grandma Geny. My sister and her husband, Seth were visiting from Chicago as well. It's always a precious treat for me to get to spend time with my sister! My cousins and aunt/uncles were all there, too. So, it was a great reunion! We were on a mission: too clean my grandma's house. She has been on kidney dialysis for over a year now and living in a nursing home. We were trying to clean through her house to prep it to be sold. We were able to look through all her belongings and take whatever we wanted. We had a great visit with my grandma - I know it meant so much to hear to have us all down there!
