No pics, just a little update!






I lied, there are new pics from our fishing excursion, some fall colors and a spectacular sunset!
And a shot of the back of the house from the lake!





After being smacked in the face with snow last weekend, we've been kinda busy etting ready for winter - but with Andrews style as usual - we were pulling out vegetable plants, etc when Ed decided to light a fire in the new chiminea for the new patio, next thing we know, we are sitting there enjoying Irish coffee and making smores! It was 32 degrees and only 2pm and not much got done the rest of the day!

On Thursday after work, we drove down to Rochester and took Benjamin for dinner at Whistle Binkies and to see "Cloudy with a chance of meatballs" - very cute movie and we all had a wonderful "date", times like that confirm that we made the right decision moving to Minnesota!

Twin Cities Marathon


Lucky for us there was a small break in the rain for Sunday's Twin Cities Marathon. The day started early as we met up with Jessica & Benjamin and staked our place near the starting line - it was perfect for running! With Jessica's planning, we were able to encourage Mike 3 other times during the course of the race, meeting up with various other Schmitts along the way. After the race, we all met up at a local pub for some well deserved refreshments. No worries, Ed and I managed to avoid any Bear score and went home and watched the whole terrific win - without commercials!
