Andrew, Steph, Melissa and Jeff with the Seattle skyline behind us! Thanks guys for all you did for us! We had a wonderful time.

Very early Sunday morning we made our way back to MN! It was cloudy, but beautiful.

Deck Project

Here is the latest project at the Rudebusch house!

The deck was finished on Tuesday! Now we just need to wait awhile before we stain it!

Progress!

My favorite little guy!

Gavin is growing up so fast! He is a busy and fun little boy! He was walking Lexie.

He says "puppy," among lots of other words!

Happy 50th Anniversary Verland and JoAnn!

Garrett and Gavin. Heidi and Ethan.
Gavin is a pretty popular guy!

Congratulations JoAnn and Verland!

JoAnn's wedding dress is gorgeous! The girls are wearing the bridesmaid's dresses!

I loved the beautiful dishes they received for their wedding. It was really neat that they displayed their gifts and identified who gave the gifts to them.

Harvest Time in Ross!

My mom and dad's backyard... lovely!

The Roseau River

Some wheat!

A wheat field! Almost ready!

Do you see the 4 wheeler!?

They had three combines going on Saturday!

Kickin' up dust!

4 trucks at the ready!

Kransekake with Eva!

The final product! Thanks Eva!
Eva putting the icing between each layer of the cake!

It was wonderful to learn from the master of Kransekake!

Eva gave us some tips and hints for making the rings (all 18 of them)!

Here is the dough before it was placed in the tins.

The beginning...

4th of July Weekend

Gus was pretty exhausted after a very fun weekend.

What a cutie! Gavin is totally into giving high fives!

We love going up to Orin and Carolyn's for the 4th every year! Gavin had a great time running around and sitting in the big chair.

Grandma and Grandpa Lee!

There was some crazy looking skies on Saturday night.

We knew there was some bad weather over Lake of the Woods so we went to Lake Bronson so we could have some time on the boat. Jeff enjoyed driving the boat with the new motor and Gus enjoyed being with all of us on the boat.

He looks pretty happy to be on the boat!

Gavin loves anything that has wheels!

Mom, Gus and I went for a walk down by the river in Hutchinson. It was a beautiful evening.

Gus loves it when people sit in the green chair so he can sit with them.
