House Update: Summer 2007, Part One

The summer is almost over...kids are back to school, the leaves are just barely starting to turn, the smell of fall is creeping slowly into the air. The heat is still here, but not for long...isn't it nice to know that our God never changes?

Here are a few highlights from our summer here at the North Wing. There are more--such as memorable quotes, roommate prayer times late at night (yes, we have been known to fall asleep during them!), random moments doing ordinary things...but here are the ones we documented with a camera. : )

Our first major event of the season was the birth of Baby Byron Eggiman, our newest next-door neighbor. He arrived on a sunny June morning...here is Mommy and Byron.



Here is Kristi and Byron....




Trent had a birthday in July....he had a Jello Themed Party. Bri made a green jello concoction--yes, it is indeed a recipe from the Lutheran Church Ladies Cookbook (no, I'm not joking!) Here is Bri making the Jello...



We also had a few visits this summer...Easten's sisters came to visit (sorry, I don't have any pictures from the visit!) and so did my (Kristi's) sister Amy and neice Anna.



Katie the Dog also came to visit:




Easten and Kristi went on a "date" to the Chanhassen Dinner Theater to see Les Miserables. Sitting with some random people at a table was quite an experience (stories of the exploding gangrenous lesion notwithstanding). Easten and I learned that we loved the music from this show...and we learned not to share that we are nurses with random people.






And, Kate and Kristi attacked the overgrown tree in the backyard with great success, very few bruises, and only a couple instances of ducking and running for cover as the branches came crashing down.

The tree....



The attack....



The result....



I am sure there will be more added soon...I hope you enjoyed the tour of our summer. As for now, however, responsible people were in bed hours ago, so I am headed there now! And as I sleep, I rejoice in the fact that our God never slumbers nor does He sleep--He guards all our paths and guides all our ways, no matter what season of life we are in.

love kristi

p.s. sorry for the pictures that are not turned the right way.....consider it a neck stretching exercise. I'll try to fix it tomorrow. : )
