Every New Beginning Comes from Some Other Beginnings End...

Owen with his first ever friends: Tenney & Parker
Eli with the other little brothers: Sulley and Griffin




The mommies;  Lindsay, myself and Emily
Daddies: Nick, D, and Patrick





The boys with our sweet neighbor, Katherine.

Our last week in Fayetteville was so special -
Filled with encouraging words, fun filled parties, and some major helping hands.
Cake at our Community Group going away party...


Greenhouse friends (children of families at our church)
It was a pizza and pool party!
circle of prayer
Then, a final Sonic Happy Hour treat with the Stanford girls on moving day...

Saying goodbye to some pretty great Fayetteville friends and memories was hard to do, but thankfully 
Minneapolis was very welcoming...

We didn't waste any time getting to know our new town!
One of our first outings was to Lake Calhoun!
It's the biggest lake in Minneapolis - click on the link to read more...




A little ice cream? YES please!
Just around the corner from Lake Calhoun is Lake Harriet where there is a band shell that highlights live music performances EVERY night of the summer season! 
The Como Park Zoo and Conservatory
is a FREE attraction that's only minutes away!
Owen and the Gorilla eye each other

That's a corn cob in his mouth...he ate it whole!

we found this notice amusing...

Next door to the park was the indoor conservatory.

The boys were quite fascinated by the coy pond

We're SO lucky to live just a few blocks away from a local library!
Eli and I make it to most every story time on Wednesday mornings!
Just a few blocks further and you can find us at Franklin Street Bakery!

Eli always chooses the same thing.... :)

Good thing there's plenty of opportunity for exercise!
This path runs right next to the Mississippi River for miles!
We are so impressed with the multiple trail systems around the city!

Very Exciting! You know I have done a bit of organizing myself! My biz is called, "Suitable Arrangements." Hardly have time for it anymore though. Let me know how yours goes! : )
