Mr. Gergen
Ben was offered a teaching job yesterday! He accepted. The job is in Comfrey, MN which is 55 miles west of Mankato. It is a small K-12 school. The average grade has 15 kids. Ben will be teaching Math for grades 7-12. He is really really excited about it, as am I! 2 hoorah's for double income! Hoorah Hoorah!

VERY BUSY MONTH!
We finally went out and bought a new USB chord to hook up our camera....
so here you go! Enjoy! It's been a fun and very busy month for us as you can see:
Ben at his 'pinning ceremony' as the College of Education
pinned him as an Educator.
Ben & I had a picnic lunch on the lawn outside my office
(consisting of McDonald's) the day before he graduated.
Ben moving his tassel as an "official" college graduate.
When he received his diploma, I was video-recording it
so we don't have an actual picture!
Peter keeping himself busy with a book during graduation...poor kid!
As a graduation gift, I got Ben a print that says 'Persaverence'...
the guests told us to kiss behind it (and I was still eating chicken wings)!
The Cake!
Peter & Daddy with their cake!
A very messy Peter with Grandma Berta
at the Birth-uation Party!
Ben & I with my Aunt Marsha & Uncle Tom from
East Grand Forks who SURPRISED us
by coming to the Birth-uation!
Ben & I with my Aunt Becky who also SURPRISED
us from Chicago & came to the Birth-uation!
Everyone was soooo sneaky!
Peter in his new ball-pit from Great Auntie Becky
& Great Uncle Mike
Haley & I on our way to Nashville!
Jacob, Haley, Ben & I before leaving Nashville
to move Haley back to MN!
Peter & his new Water Wheel Play table
from Grandpa Punky & Grandma Berta
(Peter added the tennis balls himself!)
Peter's birthday party at daycare
Peter's Birthday Cake
Peter checking out one of the 3 puzzles that
Chad & Ann brought for him! Thanks, guys!
Me being more excited about Peter's new
Jump-O-Lene Castle Bouncer from us than he is!
Peter crossed his arms when we were singing him
'Happy Birthday' because that's what he does when we pray
and I think he thought we were praying!
Peter looking VERY intrigued with the candles
on his birthday cake! (And me looking weird
before I helped him blow them out)
Peter & Daddy playing "old school" Nintendo
Memorial Weekend (Thanks, Chad)
Peter & Daddy having a sword fight...
Probably not good to teach him that.... :)
Peter jumping in his Jump-O-Lene Castle Bouncer
for the first time!
Ben & I at Red Lobster Memorial Day Weekend
when our friends Ann & Chad visited.
Ben's stitches from getting cut on the arm
the second day of his new summer labor job
of being a grain bin builder.
