Week 2 - Nate

One of our stops on the cruise was in Jamaica. We took to opportunity to tour the Appleton Rum Estate. We learned a lot about rum, got to try some fresh sugar cane juice, and, of course, drank some delicious rum. I also took a few pictures. I know this makes for 2 HDRs in a row but I really like the colors in this one so I couldn’t pass it up.

Not much to do outside while it's still cold. Kirby found a new seat - he's just drawn to boxes.

Week 1 - Nate

After a crazy holiday season, we took a much needed vacation this week – our first cruise. We had a balcony on our room that provided us with some beautiful sunrises and sunsets. All and all it was a very relaxing trip that we would definitely do again.

Week 01 – Jordan

Winter here means snow, and lots of it. You may remember last week when Molly took my picture cleaning out the snow. Well, favor returned – the picture below of her and Roxy is in the same spot. By the way, free snow to anyone that drives up here to get it.

Week 52 - Nate

We had the privilege of attending the baptism of Shaw and Maureen's little Sophia Rose this week. It was a beautiful ceremony. I took a handful of pictures but this was by far my favorite.

Happy New Year everyone! I spent a couple hours digging out from our blizzard. Yikes.

Week 50 – Jordan

Last night was the Fargo Force Make-A-Wish night where a group of families and volunteers attend, and the kids go out on the ice during the first two periods. Fans are encouraged to donate to the foundation and it’s all-around a pretty cool event that I think the kids enjoy.

I’m along to take a few pictures during the game and during their time on the ice, although I’m pretty sure I look weird walking around while they’re all standing still. Oh well. We had our friends come along and their son, Noah, attended his first hockey game.

Week 50 - Nate

It’s been unusually warm this year and Maggie in particular has enjoyed the cool weather. We’ve gone on several long walks of late. I’m not sure how she ended up on the park bench but once she was there, Nila insisted we take a picture of the “nicest, sweetest, softest, cutest little black dog.”
