Tragedy at a friends house

A good friend of mine's home caught on fire today! The house is a total loss but everyone including all the pets got out safe.
There is very little that I can do to help other than lend a listening ear. The family has good insurance so that is good news for them also. Please keep the Hillestad family in your prayers!

The fork and the toenail

So as you most of you know one of the things I did when we remodeled our kitchen was to replace most all of my dishes, glasses, utensils and silverware. I ended up buying very heavy silverware. I really love it and have gotten used to the weight of it but today there an "incident" with a fork. Kent was very nice and had fixed me up a frozen dinner to eat and I was sitting at the island when he brought it to me. I decided to move to the table to eat my dinner and didn't realize he had placed the fork on top of the dinner. When I picked it up the fork dropped on my toe. I knew it hurt but it took a few seconds to realize that the fork had gone straight down and 2 of the prongs went into MY TOENAIL! I was bleeding right through the nail.... I don't think if you tried to drop a fork on your toe you could get the prongs to go through your nail on purpose!
Not to bad of picture below......... If you zoom in you will be able to see one of the holes it left......
Maybe I should have gone for the plastic silverware

4th of July fun

The kids had a great time lighting off all of the fireworks. It was nice just to sit back at watch it happen. Always a good time when no one gets hurt and nothing gets burned down :)
Bjorn loves playing out at Travis and Holly's house. He chases the cows and the goat and he spent a lot of time playing with Henry Doodle.

Lot's of luvs and kisses for my little baby!
