What we have been up to since we got back to MN...

Since I haven't posted any pictures for awhile, this post will be pretty long. They pretty much explain what we have been up to the past couple of weeks. Once we got back to Rochester, we quickly got back into the swing of things and have been busy. Brandon is busy with school and working on a couple of research projects. I have been staying busy doing things outside and with friends. We are so blessed!

The Friday after everyone was back from vacation, the first year medical students threw the second year medical students a party for being done with the boards. It was at a fairly large house and it was fun seeing a lot of Brandon's classmates/spouses. Here are some pictures from the night:

On Tuesday of this past week, Brandon and I got the chance to babysit Adam while Nick and Cassi went out to dinner to celebrate Nick's birthday. It was so much fun to watch him and he is such a good boy. He is just starting to walk and was doing a good job! I love how we have a bag of toys just for him, but he likes to play with our cellphones and remotes instead!

Being so cute while eating - he would smile after taking a bite!

This past Monday, we had another softball game. We lost but we still had a good time and enjoyed the nice weather.

This past Saturday, we celebrated Andrew's birthday by going out to eat with a bunch of people at Famous Dave's. We had never eaten there before and thought that it was pretty good. It was a barbeque restaurant that has a lot of yummy side dishes.

Afterwards, Nick, Cassi, Adam, Andrew and Jen all came back to our place to play Brandon's new Wii. We all had a good time!

Last weekend, we also went to a graduation party for the only senior that we tutor. It was a lot of fun to meet his wonderful family from California who are thinking of moving out here since Will is going to attend the University of Minnesota and his younger brother, Jonathan, will still be in the Rochester Better Chance (RBC) program.

Brandon has also been busy putting together the stand that he and his grandpa made for our speaker. Here are some pictures of the final product. They did a great job and it is so nice not to have to listed to both speakers on the same side of the tv.

Brandon did a nice job cutting and assembling the speaker stand. You both seem to be back in the swing of things in Rochester.
