Hawaii 09

We hiked up Diamond Head, watched the waves at the North Shore, saw a Badger victory, did some Christmas shopping, played with Buck and enjoyed Jay's gourmet cooking - the smoked ribs were worth the trip by themselves! More photos at http://picasaweb.google.com/JoleenStratman/Hawaii09#

Wedding Website

We have recently completed our website for our wedding. Check it out at www.jeffandbetsy.com

Buck

I have been requested to put some pictures up of our new puppy, Buck, so here is the best one. I'm sure we'll be taking lots more, so I'm sure I'll add a lot more soon. In case anyone is wondering, he is a German Shorthair Pointer, and tomorrow he is 8 weeks old. You may get to see him live on Skype on Thanksgiving if we get everything working. ;-)

Jump Around

If anyone would like to see Kurt at the first Badger game of the season doing the Jump Around, you can go to this website: http://badgerherald.com/media/2009/09/09/jump_around.php There are closeups of him farther into the video.



His friend Adam is to his right and then 2 of his Luther classmates Katelyn Paul and Bethany Albrecht are the next 2 in line. (I'm sure he's putting this much energy into his school work!)

Junior/Senior Banquet

The rain held off for the photos and promenade at Riverside Park last night. Unfortunately, there was no sunset to view on the sunset cruise, but at least they didn't get wet walking back to the banquet.
