Joana is off on Fridays and I played
hooky so that we could all go to a tractor show in Jordan. Here are a
couple of shots from the front porch–a typical nice Summer morning.

We're getting closer to Lucy's 1st
birthday. Here are some miscellaneous photos from Thursday.
Joana and Grandma Irene stayed home with Lucy, doing some swimming in the
inflatable pool. And in the evening, we all visited our neighbors,
riding over in the tractor and trailer.

We visited the Minnesota Zoo on
Sunday–Lucy's first visit. She had a great time watching all the
animals, but especially loved the dolphins and the farm animals.
