Gretchen is a volleyball star!

Gretchen recently joined an intermural volleyball team. It has been really fun watching her games and cheering her on! Her team is doing pretty well, jugding by the fact that the last two games they won by forfeit because the other team didn't show up. Here are some actions shots of one of the games where they actually got to play.

Sunday Dinners

So the last month we have had weekly sunday dinner gatherings. It has been so nice to get everyone together to have a meal. The dinners have ranged from waffles to lasanga, but the food is always great! The last few pictures are of my family, and how I don't think we could all have a serious picture if we tried!


This is the nicest picture of the bunch...my crazy family!

Roland's 26th Birthday!

So Roland's Birthday was the 9th of September and we had a little party for him with cake and ice cream. It was nice because lots of people could come and celebrate. Rosie even made a suprise visit the day before which was so fun! So Happy Birthday Roland!

The Marvelous Cake!

The Gang's all here!

Our Mouse Friend

One early morning about 3 weeks ago, I was eating breakfast when I hear this squeaking noise. I did not want to find out what the noise was, but I thought it was some sort of insect or something. So then I told Roland about it and he had to investigate. Turns out it was a mouse. We looked at it for a few minutes and then it was time for Roland to drop me off to catch ing noise. I didn't really want to find out what it was, but just assumed it was some kind of my carpool to work. So I thought that was the end of the mouse. I thought wrong. When I got home that day Roland informed me that he caught the mouse after I left and put it in a canister with some food and water. Although I was not too impressed with the whole mouse for a pet thing, the mouse was cute, and at least we didn't kill it. So here are some pictures of the whole ordeal.
