And so it begins....

Believe it or not, here I am. I caved. I gave in. I have decided to stop entertaining the idea of blogging and just go for it. I, along with all my boys, have entered this vast array of the semi-unknown, putting all our thoughts, our faith steps, our God-stories, our hilariums, our adventures, our ups and downs, just out there....for someone to read. And hopefully to encourage and maybe even bring a smile and a soft giggle at times. For those of you who know me, I am quite the avid journal-er and have a rather healthy stack of journals that are filled from cover to cover. So this may come quite naturally for me. Andy on the other hand, not so much. But he will hopefully do his share of blogging right alongside me. He did spend 3 weeks in Turkey after all! :) 


I will let this first blog posting speak for itself with picture after picture of many highlights from our summer spent in the MN warmth. It's an annual thing we five Anderson's do. :)

on our way to MN!
