"The Lord's Army"

Many of you probably sang the song "I'm in the Lord's Army" in Sunday School. The other day Lily was singing it out at the top of her lungs, but of course, as soon as I get the camera, all she wants is to see herself on it. I was only able to capture her speed version.

Family Time

We took a quick trip down to Monti this weekend to see Grandma Olson and some uncles, aunts and cousins. It was a much needed retreat from the northern tundra.

Hanging out with cousin Heather -- Lily must have said five times, "I like Heather."

Two TVs and a computer in the house, yet here are the cousins huddled around Lily's little video player watching "Scwat" (Ice Age II).

I even snuck in a little trip to the outlet mall with Lavonne. I finally made a decision on our Christmas present from her: new dishes (Corelle, Summer Meadow, for you curious ones).

Overall, it was a great weekend.
