Que Sarah Sarah

This past weekend we had the good fortune to have a visit from one of our favorite people -- somebody we don't see as often as we like -- Sarah!

We also grilled out for the first time at our Garden Party -- which intentionally sounds festive to disguise the fact that it really was an event whereby Emily's family helped us with yard work. As you can see below, we got a lot accomplished and had a lot of fun.

We hope that Sarah enjoyed her time with us. We look forward to seeing her again soon!

Sarah came into town bearing delicious gifts.

And Mom!

Susu and Grandma A hard at work.

Sam gettin' it done.

Gus knows he could help if we'd give him a chance.

But he'll settle for some more pool fun.

I win!

Father's Day 2008


We are a bit behind on the posts, so I decided it was time to once again break into the Gus Stop and give Kevin some relief from all the blogging. (That's not sarcasm. Seriously, people. We've been busy enjoying summer in MN - you never know when it could snow again so you have to get outside while the gettin's good!) This past Father's Day was technically the second one for Kevin, but the first one he will easily remember as a result of not being so sleep-deprived. Gus did a little shopping and planning to make it a Father's Day to remember.

We started out the day with chocolate croissants and a tie from Gus. That may seem like too obvious a choice for Father's Day but Kevin really can't have enough ties.


Gus is telling it like it is.


After breakfast we headed to the Science Museum to check out the Star Wars exhibit. It was pretty cool and I can't believe I didn't get a better picture of my boys with Darth Vader. We were too shy to keep asking for more pictures - he was one scary dude brandishing a light saber like that.

Taking Gus for a ride.


Grilling out at Grandma & Grandpa Adriaens'.


A fun day was had by all and we think Kevin is one of the best Dads around. Happy Father's Day to all you daddys out there!
