See you in a month!

Whew! It's been a busy time for our families and it's about to get a whole lot busier. Megan graduated from high school on Friday and we had a lovely party for her at mom and dad's house. Now she can spend the next month focusing solely on our wedding ... I kid, I kid! Anyway, congrats to Meg once again.


(Here are all the siblings on the Blanchette side, minus Kate, who was getting ready to bring Kaleb John into the world!)


(Me and my baby sis ... the graduate.)

Yesterday, Kate gave birth to Kaleb John Blanchette. He was born at 11:58 a.m., weighed 9 pounds and was 19 1/2" long. Way to go guys! They are one happy family! Tyler and I are bummed we couldn't be there for his birth day. We're trying to figure out how soon we can get to Fargo to meet the lil' guy!

See you in a month! We are SO excited!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend

It's Friday and I'm gladly leaving work early to head home to Bemidji for a long weekend. Megan is graduating high school tomorrow and I really can't believe it. She's all growed up! Have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend.

Bestest men

These are the Tjader men. Meet Jason (second from the left) and Sam (far right). They are Tyler's best men. Tyler's Dad, Harvey is on the far left.



Last summer, Jason married Amy (yep, there will be TWO Amy/Aimee Tjaders) and Tyler and Sam were best men. Aren't they cute? Tyler almost looks as though he's worried that Sam doesn't have the ring!



These guys are great. They have a really strong brotherly love goin' on and I'm pretty happy to be a part of it. The beauty on the left is Annie, Jason's daughter. She is one of my bridesmaids and you'll learn more about her later.



I'm pretty close with these boys ... but not this close! This photo was taken at Jason and Amy's bachelor/bachelorette parties last summer. I love it!



The boys singing karaoke at Jason and Amy's wedding reception. That little pipsqueek on the right is Emily, Jason's youngest daughter. She's one of our flower girls.



I took this photo of Tyler and Sam on Haight/Ashbury in San Francisco the fall of 2006 ( I think) when Tyler's band was on tour. Sammy looks tuckered!



And this is probably my favorite photo of Sam and I at Hard Times (R.I.P.) in Bemidji. Love you guys!
