Polar Express Take II
So this December, we again went on the Polar Express, with the same group of people we did last year. Bea was scared of Santa, but enjoyed the train ride and bell more.

OK. You've been asking. Here come some more posts.
First, I'd like to show you a project we've been working on. Well, Twin Ports Flooring actually. We decided to have our maple floors refinished on the main floor. Sixty years is a long time to wait to refinish. I'm so glad we decided to do it. Here's a before and after of the living room & dining room. The bedrooms get started in a couple of weeks.
Before: You can see there used to be a bedroom in the living room. They had cut out the flooring and inserted 2x6's to help frame out the wall and closet, so a patch was necessary. This was a surprise when we pulled out the carpet.

Fall Update
Well, its been a while since I actually posted something about what we've done (I'm still planning on posting more Poland pictures to flickr...it's just slow going right now).
This fall has been lovely.
Over Labor Day weekend we spent the weekend western Minnesota at the Western Minnesota Steam Threshers Reunion in Rollag, MN. We had a wonderful weekend staying with our friends Scott & Marna and seeing Greg & Cari too! If you are interested in tractors or steam engines, I highly suggest the show at Rollag. Scott's family has played a big part in the show since its inception.
B & A pre-show. They were very dirty after the steam show. For more pictures of our Rollag trip, click here!
In the middle of September, Clay's brother and family came up for our annual tradition of attending the first home football game. B loves her cousin M so much. B wants to do anything that M. does. Here is a picture of M reading to B. This was the fourth year of our tradition, and it's great fun.
We've also spent a lot of time outside this fall (someone has been making up for the rotten Spring we had
We've also spent a lot of time at the Lake Superior Zoo. We even went to the lion cub's birthday party. They turned 1 year old.
