Countdown: Day -4

Jill | May 31, 2007

Thursday, May 31: Today is the LAST day of May and the LAST day of my keyboarding class! (And it’s the LAST Thursday we have school.) We also have an end-of-the-year family picnic and the 8th graders have their final prayer service, which usually includes some closing comments for them as they prepare [...]

Accessories

Jeremy | May 30, 2007

Jill’s post about the new features on the car and wondering if kid’s come with accesories like this made me think, what kind of cool gadgets would I request on our kids.  I think the first would have to be a GPS, knowing where the kids are at all times could come in handy, no [...]

Countdown: Day -5

Wednesday, May 30: Today is the LAST Wednesday before summer break! We also have the final band/choir concert at the Nicollet campus this afternoon and evening.

Maintenance Required?!

Jill | May 30, 2007

So we’re driving down the freeway in the Rav, which admittedly is probably a nicer (and newer) car than either of us are accustomed. And Jeremy says to me, “uh, Honey, does the ‘maintenance required’ light come on when it’s time for an oil change?” To which I replied, “I don’t know” and [...]

Countdown: Day -6

Jill | May 29, 2007

Tuesday, May 29: Today really is our LAST faculty meeting. Last week’s was the last one on my calendar, but Kim called another one today. I sent out the LAST reminder to teachers about postings in our school newsletter, and I’ll stock the fridge in my office for the LAST time too. [...]

S’more Summer

We had our first golf outing of the summer on Sunday - a Par “not-quite-3″ for me. After sleeping in, we had spent most of Saturday lazing around, at the pool and on the couch. I enjoyed a two-hour nap while Jeremy played on his computer. [...]

St. Richard’s “Talent for Humanity”

Jill | May 26, 2007

St. Richard’s held its 2nd annual talent show to raise money for Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity. Our church will participate in its fourth annual build for Habitat this summer, all of which I have been a part (and have learn a lot about DIY projects) in some way or another. This year [...]

Punto at bat. Double play. Darn, that was almost exciting.
UPDATE: Twins won! 4-3 in a nail-biter 9th inning!

Twins Game
Originally uploaded by Jill Elfering.

We joined the Begalke clan and Timmy for the Twins game to start a long holiday weekend. It’s the top of the third now & the Twinkies are losing 2-1 to the Blue Jays. I hope it gets better! The kids are having a [...]
