MN State Fair

We went to the fair on opening day, despite the rain. We made our traditional stop at Little Farm Hands during a break in the showers. Isaac made a planter at the Home Depot booth and had his first trip on the Sky Ride.

Look who's 5!

Happy Birthday, Isaac!
(look close for Isaac's tongue-of-concentration)

Tragedy, close to home.

It was a crazy night that we’ll never forget. We’ve been using the 35W bridge a few times a week lately, including during the late afternoon rush hour. I thought it a little weird to be going over a bridge where in the next lane over they were repairing sections with jack hammers. This surface work was not supposed to affect the structure of the bridge, but I’m sure the real cause will be discovered in the coming weeks and months. We’ve heard first hand stories from friends and co-workers who used the bridge minutes before its collapse or were planning to about that time but for whatever reason chose a different route.

We praise God that he is in control, and thank Him for the miracles and goodness seen during such a disaster.
