Minneapolis in the morning, Minneapolis in the evening

Minneapolis is so pretty in the early morning! The moon was still in the sky as we traveled down I-35 Southbound.

Living 1 mile from Como Avenue affords us these lovely views of the Minneapolis skyline.

One month to go!

Grow Wee Babe Reetz, Grow!

Heiligenschein

I went flying, faster than the sun

Chasing parhelia, I became undone

The refracting of those ice kites at 22 degrees

Illuminating two rainbows that brought me to my knees

I knew the radiance shining from the sun was really emanating from you.

Snow Shoe Running!

Rob and Erin invited us up to her parents home to experience the joy of snowshoe running. What an awesome sport! We worked up quite the appetite and enjoyed some marvelous sushi afterwards. Yum!

Schamber Christmas 2008

Isabella's 5th Birthday!

Johnson Family New Year

We spent New Years day at the Johnson Household with family and friends. After a few games of Epop! (Pictionary-Telephone) and Whoonu. We were all pleased to find out about one of the Johnson kids' favorite Christmas past times! Whoonu Haley, Jessie, and Carrie could perform all of the songs off the Jackson 5 Christmas album?

Happy New Year!

Ben and Geoff joined their friends Michael and Adam for Ben's first Polar Bear Jump New Year's Day at Lake Minnetonka officially earning his "Guppy" status. At 19 degrees, icicles were forming on the dock and the water was actually warmer than the air =) Michael will be a Barracuda next year; we are all so proud of him!
