We spent a few days in ND celebrating the life of Darren's Grandpa, Martin Kuhn. For anyone who knew him or even had the chance to briefly meet him, he made some type of impression on your life. It was a sad occasion, but we enjoyed spending it with family and telling many 'Grandpa Martin' stories. Here are a few pics from the weekend. Nadia and Phoebe...

I read of a man who stood to speak At the funeral of a friend.He referred to the dates on her tombstone From the beginning..to the end.He noted that first came her date of birth And spoke the following date with tears, 1964-1994But he said what mattered most of all Was the dash between those years.
For that dash represents all the time That she spent alive on earth..And now only those who loved her Know what that little line is worth.For it matters not, how much we own;The cars..the house..the cash,What matters is how we live and love And how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard.Are there things you”d like to change?For you never know how much time is left,That can still be rearranged.If we could just slow down enough To consider what’’s true and real,And always try to understand The way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger,And show appreciation more And love the people in our lives Like we”ve never loved before.If we treat each other with respect,And more often wear a smile..Remembering that this special dash Might only last a little while.
So, when your eulogy’’s being read With your life’’s actions to rehash..Would you be proud of the things they say About how you spent your dash?
We had a few days off over President's weekend and wanted to do something fun so we packed up the minivan and off we went to Alexandria, MN to an indoor 
What would a weekend away be without the projector and movie on the wall night?
Poor Megan 'fell' off the bed...OK, maybe she was kicked off by her loving wife. She was hurting while the girls climbed all over her and Lisa and I tried to catch our breath from laughing. 
Make your own shirt day! We were having so much fun making the girls shirts, we decided to grab one for all the adults too.
Our room with new carpet!
We also decided to paint Nadia's room a neutral color and get rid of the green. 
After a long week away for work, I needed to get Nadia out and do something fun. She loves the Mall of America and going on all the rides. She thought it was called American Idol for the longest time and would ask Darren and I if we could take her to the American Idol. :)
We also went to the Disney Store and Nadia got to pick out a swimming suit. She puts it on every night when she gets home from daycare!
