Pulled tooth

Shecklet #4 has had a toothache off and on since having one of her molars filled a few months ago. Today it was so painful we had an emergency trip to the dentist and then on to the oral surgeon to have it pulled. It had abscessed, which was disappointing to hear. The experience was not pleasant and I think we were both traumatized by it, but I’m glad she’s no longer feeling pain when she chews.

Fr. Joseph visit!

Shecklet #3’s godfather came to visit us today!

The kids did some biking at Carver Lake Park while we caught up with Fr. Joseph. We then headed for lunch before having to bring him back to the airport. It was a very quick trip, but it was SO good to see him!

Summer Saturday

We went back to Carver Lake for an afternoon of riding.

And then went to visit Aunt Kari. The guys dismantled a pallet and we did a little yard work for fun 😊.

We burned the pallet wood and had s’mores, too.

Gnome restoration – part 2

Two more gnomes came home from Nissedalen last month. I finally had time to freshen up their paint over the last few days – while the girls were at school.

Now they just need a few coats of clear sealant and they will be ready to return to their home up north!

First day 2022 – take 1

Shecklets 3 & 4 went back to school today. We have a 4th grader and a 6th grader. One in upper elementary and one in middle school. Here’s to learning new things, making new friends, growing (physically and emotionally,) and having a normal year!
