Memorial Day Recap!
This past weekend was been a busy one with projects around the house to be completed, workouts to be done, guests to be hosted, etc. We did take a little time to relax though!
Anja saw her first movie in a movie theatre with a couple of neighborhood friends on Friday---Shrek: The Final Chapter. I was concerned about the volume, the dark, a few scary parts, and some crude humor, but she handled it all like a champ. She loved it and will definitely be back again!
Milla also took her first dip in the lake about a 1/2 mile from our house. She enjoyed kicking and splashing around, but didn't quite like the full body plunge! It's a great park, complete with a boat house that rents canoes and kayaks, a splash pad for the kiddos, built-in grills, a beach, volleyball courts, real bathrooms (!), concessions, and a cordoned off swimming area. I have a feeling we'll be spending a lot of time there!
Erik and I were both busy trying to get things done around the house during naps and quiet time and we did pretty well. Erik built a great platform step to replace the paver step that was just too small in terms of safety for all of the kids running in and out of the house. He's pretty handy!
Only two more weeks of school for Erik, then he starts teaching at the U of M for their summer term. We are all looking forward to some great summer days in our new house in the coming months!

I love the new steps! Great job, Erik! We are looking forward to spending many times at the beach now that it's ready. Haven't used my swimsuit on the Adriatic, may have to wait until we get to The Lakes!

A masterpiece! You are right about the safety issue with the pavers. This new step is a gem! Way to go, Erik!

We have some work to do around the house if Erik is bored this summer. ;) Just kidding.
