The last week in June, Samantha, Peter and I rode the new Hiawatha Light Rail line from downtown Minneapolis out to Fort Snelling.

Our son, Peter, has developed a taste for Knock-Knock jokes. He comes up with his own jokes, which he finds hilarious. His most recent creation was: Knock-Knock… Who’s there? Funny!!! Funny who? At this point he says “Funny! Funny! Funny!”, puts his thumbs in his ears like moose horns and turns around in a circle [...]

Shortly before Christmas this year, Santa Claus, several of his elves, and Santa’s “reindog” Rudolph made a quick visit to my parents house. Peter and my nephew Colton just happened to be over helping their grandparents decorate the Christmas tree at the time of the visit. What great luck! Santa’s elves were a little bit [...]
