Week 38 – Nate

For the first time since the wedding, we had a lazy Saturday. Didn’t get much accomplished, but it was nice to relax. Although she’s a bit camera shy, Maggie did enjoy having us around.

This week was the world’s largest ice cream social. Did you go?

Finally took a few pictures of the outside of the house after we’ve done landscaping and planted trees. How’s the backyard? Not ready for pictures. Hopefully it will start sprouting grass soon, though. If you want, you can compare the photo below to the original look of the front of the house that I’ve posted before!

We received a surprise package this week from a fellow dog lover. Inside we found some wonderful bumper and window stickers. It didn’t take long for those to make it onto Nila’s car.

Week 36 - Jordan

This week was the annual Make-A-Wish of North Dakota’s One Enchanted Evening Gala. It’s a pretty big fundraiser for them and has been a good time both times I’ve been there. Molly is pretty responsible for planning the event, so props to her for putting together a great evening. You can find all of the photos from the event here.

Took the weekend to actually relax for once. It was nice.

Week 35 - Nate

Nila has always wanted an espresso machine and I’ve never been a fan of $4 lattes so we broke down and bought one a couple weeks ago. I haven’t quite figured out how to pull the perfect shot, but I’m getting better on a daily basis. :)

Week 34 - Jordan

Molly's parents are in town this weekend and we're getting a bit of landscaping done. Haven't picked out and planted any plants yet, but Molly found some solar lights she's happy with and we've done a good amount of pulling up sod and creating a mulch-filled bed for future plants. Here's the lights on their first night of operation:

We happened to to have some flowers around the house this week. Nila doesn’t like this picture because the bouquet is actually really bright and pretty but I love the lighting and colors.
