Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NLT)

"A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. THREE are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken."

Friends & Family

Time has flown by the last month and so much is going on at Camp Clark. School is wonderful and the kiddos have been thriving, work is busy, Dave has been getting serious interest in his invention and we are in the midst of selling our home and looking for another. But we are never too busy for family and friends. Last week I attended the mothers of multiples state convention in Duluth along with my favorite triplet mamas. We had a blast as ususal and shared lots of great conversations. We were also at the infamous Grandma's bar after dinner and we got to witness U of M Duluth win the national collegiate hockey tournament over Michigan. It was amazing and very exciting to hear the roar of celebration! The weekend was a welcome break but by Sunday, we were a bit beat up, missing our babes and ready to head back home. Last night we attended a bowling benefit for MS in honor of one of our dearest friends and fellow triplet mom, Nicole. It was SO much fun and Dave even wore his "party shirt" for the event. It must have brought him good luck because he bowled a 224 with seven strikes in a row. He had so much fun that he even slept in his party shirt - party animal! We look forward to going home to Bismarck for Easter to be with our family. We love our Papas and Grandmas and can't wait to see them and share time together. We love you and miss you and are counting down the days until Thursday. God bless friends and family.

Puppy Love

We had a fantastic weekend! Saturday was gorgeous and the kiddos and I spent the entire afternoon biking and playing at the park and then we all headed up to Aunt Lisa's for time with family. Sunday after church and Sunday School, we had to be out of our home all afternoon due to showings so we loaded up and went swimming at Lifetime, had treats at the DQ and "stopped in" the pet store nearby. Bad move. We are all officially in love with a puppy we can't have, YET! To top it all off, the sweet little boy was on sale for only $199! LTD were overjoyed but Dad's deal is this...when we sell our home, THEN we can get a dog. Let's just say the prayers are flowing ubundantly up to Heaven. It would be a miracle if he was still there when we go back; good thing we all believe in miracles :)


BFF

Lately we have gotten the opportunity to share some quality time with one of our favorite families, the Ericksons. We cherish their friendship and always have such fun times with them. Below are a few photos from the last few gatherings. Last week, Mama Erickson took the boys so they could have their own "guy time" and I took the girls. The boys were thrilled to just be boys with no sisters around, biked outside and enjoyed the great outdoors. The girls and I first went on a nature walk, painted artwork indoors and then moved the art studio outdoors for some chalk work. This past Friday, our families had pizza night at the Erickson's and when it came time to put the PJ's on, the boys had the same PJ's and so did Aimee and Taylor. It was such a riot! We love our dear friends and look forward to many more great times together!
