When our friends came up here from Dallas a few weeks ago, they showed us this picture they had taken on their drive up to Minnesota.......
Can you believe this?? Not only did they see Blake and Sorensen on the same sign, but Sorensen was spelled just like we spell it AND the same street has both of Blake's names....go one way and it's Sorensen, go the other way on the same street and it's Blake!!! They took this somewhere in Kansas....thankfully Melissa was quick enough to whip out her phone and snag a picture while the light was still red!!

Father's Day
Sunday we celebrated Father's Day and I think it may have been the best Father's Day we have done for Matt. We had gone to church on Saturday evening, so we had a relaxing morning at home. We made some coffee cake and stayed in our pajamas for longer than I am usually comfortable with, but I have to admit it was relaxing and the kids loved it. Then around lunchtime, Matt, Wyatt, Sadie and I went Maxwell's for lunch (Matt's favorite place for wings) and then on to the Twins game. (Matt's brother Tyler stayed with Blake, who naps everyday from about 1-4pm, so the game would have been a horrible idea for him! Everyone had a much more enjoyable time and Blake was just waking up when we got home.)
The twins won in the 9th inning and we were even able to see a homerun (=fireworks at Target Field). We got home and then Wyatt had baseball practice, which was actually a father-son game in honor of Father's Day. Wyatt had so much fun and at the end of the day, he said that was his favorite part of the day! Sadie and Blake and I went along to watch for a bit and take a few pictures.

Good friends, good times
Almost a year ago, some of our neighbors made a very difficult move to Texas. It was a very sad day (click here) but they promised to return for our neighbor Andrea's graduation in June 2011. And thankfully the year went fairly quickly and we were so excited to have them back for a week. It really felt just like they had never left.....we all just picked back up right where we had left off (even the kids!)
Andrea (my kids' favorite babysitter) and her mom Carol, our next door neighbors
Blake saw no reason why he couldn't go where the big kids were....but he found it a bit tough to get out
Sadie started the week playing with Wyatt and Kendall and Grace, but once her and Emmy realized they were both 4 years old, they decided to play with each other instead. Hilarious!!
..and played with their babies...
I thought this was too funny....nothing like a mobile firepit!! Matt and Joel brought it down the street and the kids brought the firewood.
We had so much fun while the Van Beverens were in town and it was almost harder to see them leave our neighborhood, knowing that it might be awhile again before we saw them. But we are that much more aware that everyone may not be in our neighborhood forever, so we need to enjoy what we have right now. And we are thankful, everyday, for how blessed we are to be where we are.

my little sister-in-law all grown up...
When Matt and I started dating, my sister-in-law was just 7 years old.....and now she's graduating from high school. We are so proud of all Mollie has accomplished and are excited that next year she will be headed to Kanakuk Kamps Link Year. (I was a counselor at Kanakuk and Mollie was a camper there for several years---truly, it is an unbelievable place and she is one of only 50 people chosen for this experience.)
