Double Birthday Celebration

Filed Under: Family Values Tagged With: family 1 Comment

Daddy's Shoulders

He gave really good shoulder rides. 

And read me my favorite stories. 

Dad reading to daughter

My dad set a high bar, giving me big boots to fill. 

Big Boots

 I feed my kids oatmeal. Cross-country ski in the winter for family fun and calorie burning exercise. I know Disney offers the best value in a family vacation. All because my daddy’s wisdom. 

But I also know to be bold, honest, giving and show love, even when others aren’t giving it back, because of my dad and his strong example.Birthday Family

Happy Birthday my favorite straight-talking, savvy businessman farmer and accountable mentor I know! We love you, Dad.  And there is a SECOND birthday now in our family on this fabulous 14th of August. 

She said YES to my brother, Robbie, a couple months ago. 

Saying YES

 And drove off from the city to our small town on the prairie to start a new life with my brother.  

Driving Away

Now our family has TWO double birthdays! My mom gave birth to my youngest brother Joe on her birthday decades ago.  Today we celebrate the second double birthday in our family.

Happy Birthday, Dad aka Grandpa Fred! Happy Birthday to Jenn, sister-in-law and auntie!

Welcome to the Prairie…

I am a mom of three kids and a wife to Nathan. Together we live on the North Dakota prairie, 97 miles from a Starbuck's. I share about family, food, farming and the prairie that I love. I used to commute 98 miles one-way to work but it required too much coffee. So now I am home, consulting, speaking, writing and primarily, juggling family life.
