March
New Driver
Dad takes the backseat, again. Such a major, life-changing event that earlier events seem to have faded in our memories. Either that, or we forgot to take pictures.
Government
The kids had an opportunity to see the ND legislature in action. Ethan and Titus took a front row, probably voting for everything that came by.
April
4H Activities
A ceramics class was a fun 4H activity the kids took part in. The first step was preparing the ceramic for finishing.
Moth
We found the caterpillar in the fall of 2018. It took a long time, but he finally emerged.
Working Boy
Titus is frequently wanting to give dad a hand on whatever project, as long as it involves power tools.
May
Montana Trail Ride
Ceramics
It took a while to finish the ceramics, but the results were worth it.
June
Carpentry
Titusdesigned and built himself a chair. By himself.
Story Book Lodge
We spent lots of time up at Story Book Lodge, Christian Camp. Dad did his best to make Teen Camp a memorable experience for Larissa and Riana – with mixed results.
Hidden Acres
Near the end of June, we were at Hidden Acres camp in Iowa. Around the Bible teaching sessions, the kids enjoyed a few activities.
July
Tengesdal Cousin Family Reunion
Huh?
I’m not exactly sure what is going on here, but it looks like someone has some explaining to do…
August
Bunkhouse Camp
We took a small bus full of girls to Wisconsin for a one-week girls camp. They were smiles on the way out there, and sleeping on the way back.
ER Visit
Titus climbed a tree and found a wasp nest, but they found him first. He said he never climbed down a tree so fast, but still managed to take away 36 mementos.
Horse and Buggy
In the busyness of summer, it was difficult to find time, but Riana managed to train her mini-horse to pull a cart.
Medora
Grandpa and grandma came for a visit and the kids took them to Medora.
September
Colorado
Visiting Garden of the Gods
Youth Season
Ethan was pretty happy to bag a doe. He even field dressed it all by himself.
October
Anniversary
For our anniversary, we rented a small cabin on the south side of the badlands. Some beautiful territory down there!
November
Deer Season
It was a successful hunt.
New Skills
Larissa is having fun.
Not sure about Ethan.
Thanksgiving in Branson, Missouri
Afternoon hikes, activity center, roller coaster rides, and a theater production with live animals!
December
Cookies
The great annual cookie production. Something north of 4,000 Christmas cookies were created.
