Labor Day Weekend

We had a great weekend. I love summer in Minnesota. We had all of the Vinck's over for a barbecue on Sun. Peter had his football draft ALLLLL day on Monday. If you ask me it was more of a pseudo-bachelor party (golfing in the morning, BBQ, draft at night). I hung out with Kota and had dinner with friends. Tuesday was a slap in the face with the start of school back in full force. Swimming is consuming my life. I am assistant coach for the Cretin-Derham Hall girls. We have a great team but never have I been so reminded of the drama of being a high school girl. MHS was great but I can not imagine being a cheesemaker again. Tonight we swim against Forest Lake at St. Kates. Should be not problem. Hope everyone is having a good week.

New Blog

Hey everyone this is our new blog. Check it out when you are bored at work or if you really truely want to see what is going on in the world of Jenny and Peter oh and of course Kotabear!

We have had a really exciting summer. We started the summer off by redoing our backyard. A friend of mine from CDH put in two patios, sodded and mulched. With a lot of help from Ginny and Steve we landscaped and added a fence in the back. It looks absolutely beautiful. Here are some pictures from our first BBQ.

After a VERY long summer of doing summer school we left for a 2 week trip to Ireland on July 31. We went with our good friends Scott and Sarah Deming and Michael and Brennan Townley. It was an awesome trip with great friends!
