Matt The Hero

So this morning Matt and I went to the quarry in Verona to swim before 
church.  I finished up my second loop thinking matt was going to 
be lapping me shortly. To my surprise he was standing where we enter 
the water fully clothed and soaking wet.  What had happened was a lady 
had brought her 3 dogs to let them swim. One of the dogs only had 3 
legs. The more aggresive dog decided it wanted to play ruff with the 
one with only three limbs.  The owner starts yelling "help my dog is 
drowning". Matt to the rescue! When I saw him standing there my mind 
went right to thinking where can we find him dry clothes before 
church? Fortunately he had a change of clothes in the car. Oh.. He 
saved the dog too! :)

They are ladybugs, no not cows matt

Happy 5th b-day Noelle!

It is my birthday!

Anyone for a picnic? I got my own picnic basket!

James 1st cross country race with running club

He was so excited for his race. He went out a little fast but still
finished it. It brought tears to Jill-Jill's eyes.

Loose tooth

Dad wants to yank it out! James is a little nervous.

Meals on bicycle wheels

Here is a photo before heading out on our 1st delivery. The kids
loved it. James asked " will Jill-Jill be a doctor anymore? Is this
her full time job?" I wish...

Our trip to the museum in Dubuque, IA

Devil's Lake

Flying by the seat of your pants!

This is what happens when you leave the pads of your aerobars at
home...only to discover that half an hour before a race. Nothing a
pair of old underwear can't fix :)

Styling!
