Household Outing


We went out for ice cream as a household the other night and got this nice picture. (l to r: Annie, Amy, Angie, Gianna, Anna, myself.)

Harry Potter Book Release



Here we are at the Harry Potter book release party in the Mall of America. (l to r: Ally Pozarski as Hermione, Anna Hagans as Ginny Weasley, Patrick Gaffney as Harry; myself as Professor Trelawney; Joe Gleason as Tom Riddle)

Meet Norbert





This is Norbert. He is a 2006 Pontiac Vibe, and he has already proven himself an awesome division car. In the two months since I bought him, Norbert has transported three bookshelves, 75 pounds of pork (not including the beans that went with it) and 10 1-gallon ziploc bags of fruit, five people plus all of their swimming gear, a large cooler and a guitar, and several other things. I would also like to point out that Jeremiah Laust and Joe Bowar fit comfortably in the back seat at the same time.

City Quilt



The 1027 Women's household worked on this quilt together over the 2006-07 school year. The center panel depicts a people gathering in the spirit under a city skyline, and the surrounding blocks are our houses in Allendale and Dinkytown as of early Fall 2006. We are planning on hanging it on the wall in the 1027 women's fun room.

Here are some pics of the whole completed quilt. Each household member worked on one of the squares, and I worked on the center panel. I am going to do this in several posts so that you can see each square individually.
